    I voted poop diapers. LO kicks his feet and gets poop everywhere. Sometimes he poops minutes after I put a fresh diaper on. Then I have to cart all 26lbs of him upstairs for another change.

    I don't mind laundry, I do one load per day so it doesn't feel overwhelming. I don't mind dishes either. I used to hate grocery shopping, but now that we live in a tiny town our grocery store is about the size of a school gymnasium and it's so much easier to navigate! I can pop in and pop out if I just need milk.

    And I'm usually up for sex activities anytime! ;)

    Love the poll of the day idea!

    I voted dishes, but it was really close between that and the sex one. I'm still not 100% confidant in my decision...

    Why would you get rid of poop diapers?! You'll be done with that soon enough anyway?!

    I hate grocery shopping... With kids. Ugh. Getting them in and out of the car, into the cart, if I have both then I have to think about my strategy even more, and hopefully no one has a screaming fit. In the fall, I thought my older daughter would be good if I put the baby in the cart and let DD walk. Big mistake!!! She was in to everything!

    I don't mind doing any of those. If I could get rid of cleaning, that would be awesome!

    I voted dishes, but laundry is a close second. But with laundry, it's really just the putting away that I hate. Dishes I hate because my hands gets all dried out and crack and bleed. And I hate touching the left over food on plates. All of this could be solved with gloves, but I also hate wearing gloves. Haha.

    None of those really bother me. I'm trying to think of what I would give up. Dog poop maybe. Or cleaning the bathroom.

    I'm a weirdo too. I don't mind doing dishes, laundry, diapers, or grocery shopping. And usually when hubs wants something, i secretly do too

    I also say dishes with laundry as a close second. Luckily DH does our grocery shopping!

    Sex was the only response for me. I enjoy laundry and groceries. Dishes and diapers aren't so bad.

    Is it weird I like grocery shopping? I am only slightly obsessed with Super Target and go any chance I get.

    I love my kitchen elf.  He does the dishes and he washes the bottles.  Holy crow I hate that stuff.

    I picked laundry. I agree with @Sporty1216‌ it's putting away the clothes that sucks. There are laundry baskets of clean clothes everywhere.

    I voted laundry. THE worst, though, is putting sheets back on the bed. Hate it so much!

    @0jamielynn0‌ - agreed! I hate changing the sheets! Are you short by any chance? My theory is that it's worse for short people.

    I put laundry and agree with others the part I really hate is the folding and putting away of laundry. Dishes is a close second. I didn't used to mind doing dishes but there are just so many these days and I can't stand leaving them over night or having them all over the counter. 

    We even got a dishwasher as our gift to each other for Christmas but we have really hard water and the dishwasher sucks! It leave terrible streaks and like a layer of residue on everything and I end up rewashing many by hand because it grosses me out! Grr!

    Because it's my poll and I make up the rules! That's why! (Said in snarky voice for those who miss the drama, but also a winky face because I am not mean In real life)

    Have you tried using lime-a-way with the dishwasher pods? It really helped with our hard water dishwasher problem.

    I hate to go to the supermarket! I always forget something so I have to go back again during the week that means 2 more times and I also buy more than I should.

    That may be one of the only things I haven't tried yet! Is Lime-a-way a liquid that would go in the liquid detergent spot or the rinse agent spot? I have tried the cascade complete pods, along with many different rinse agents and liquid detergent. I have also tried a mixture with vinegar that someone suggested. The dishwasher is a HE that is supposed to use a lot less water but I almost feel like it doesn't use enough water pressure. The stuff on the top rack is usually the worst.

    Me too! I actually hate folding, but I hate wrinkled clothes more so I end up folding and leaving them in the basket for days!

    Oh sorry, its called Lemi Shine. It's a powder detergent. (we get it at target or walmart) I dump a little in with the cascade pod in the closed door spot and then just dump a little more in the bottom of the dishwasher. We don't have an HE washer though so not sure how they work.

    Ah - yes we have tried Lemi shine. It seems to help a little. I am still trying out different combinations lol. This weekend I did a cascade complete gel pack, jet dry in the rinse agent spot and squirted a bunch of lemi shine in the bottom of and it worked the best yet...not great but getting better lol!
