GTKY- chores

Puddles03 · November 2015

What is your least favourite chore? Do you or your SO have that job? And let's be honest when are you going to use the "I'm pregnant" card to get out of them? Are you already using it?

Dishes. DH does those.

I hate hate hate taking out the trash, I am guilty of just stuffing the garbage bag and pulling up the side because who ever makes it fall has to take it out! Haha I plan on using the pregnancy card as soon as I get morning sickness as I cannot stand the smell. I also make hubby do the litter box for our cats because you know, pregnant...

Ditto to dishes! Thank God we have a dishwasher, but I don't even want to put them in there... I'd rather clean the bathroom!

Vacuuming! So we bought a robot.

folding laundry. As a child, I was the good kid who actually had an evil step mother. She would save up clean clothes for weeks (in a family of 6) until I did the littlest thing like talk back. As a punishment I would have to fold all of the laundry and put it away. It took me hours and I was not allowed to watch tv. So my deal with DH is I will do all of the laundry, he folds and I put everything away. It works out pretty well!

Dishes for me too. I hate it, but husband would do a half assed job so I'll keep on. We have a dishwasher but I still hate it.

Cleaning and Dusting in general, I try to avoid them like the plague...no idea why I hate them so much

anskip · November 2015

Dusting is my enemy. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats so it needs to be done way more often than I'd like. I wish DH would do it, but he works so much that most of the time it's up to me.

I hate sweeping. So much. My job, so it only gets done like once every two weeks. But we are getting a dog in a month so that will have to change

KyCat · November 2015

Folding and putting away the laundry. Ugh. I think I dislike it because we really don't have enough closet and drawer space for all our clothes, so when everything is clean and folded, it doesn't all fit!

Taymiller · November 2015

Mopping the floors. Hate it! I am sahm so chores are just part of my job, that is just how it goes and I am fine with it. DH won't pick up the slack when I am pregnant but also doesn't mind a dirty house so that is what we will do

nopegoat · November 2015

Laundry for sure. H travels a lot for work so I'm the one usually doing and unfortunately with three boys no way to get out of it.

Vacuuming is my nemesis! I hate the sound with a fiery passion, but if I don't do it, it just won't get done.

I used the "I'm pregnant" card to stop cleaning the cat litter box when I was pregnant with DD. That's actually legitimate... but I never started cleaning it again after DD was born.

My least favourite chores are cooking and making DD's lunch for daycare. Luckily DH is super picky and likes to cook so he makes dinner every night, and while he's making his lunch for work he makes DD's as well. I'm totally spoiled in that department.

I can already tell that this pregnancy will be different from DD's - DH completely doted on me last time, and pretty much met my every need. This time he's been calling me out a bit on my ridiculousness and has a lot less sympathy for me (fair enough - full disclosure, I can be a little high maintenance and being pregnant doesn't mean I can't walk into the kitchen to get my own glass of water)

Folding laundry is number one my list. It rarely ever gets done. Number 2 is dishes, DH does them most of the time.

SaraC381 · November 2015

Hate laundry. My husband's idea of "doing laundry" is to put in the washer, move it to the dryer, then make a pile for me to fold/put away...usually 3 or 4 loads at a time. So I put my foot down and told him he's to wash his clothes only. I'm not doing his laundry anymore. Now I have my 4 1/2 year old doing his own laundry for the most part (of course I have to help with the soap and getting the last few pieces from the bottom of the washer).

mckcak23 · November 2015

I hate washing the floors. With a passion. That is DH's one chore he has to do in the house. Since it is my first pregnancy he is spoiling me and its really nice. I have become so lazy at home. Though, last weekend I found a great trick, I worked late Friday night and I told him some friends were coming over so I asked if he could straighten up the house. We ended up meeting them at a bar instead, but he had already cleaned and it was super nice.

I HATE unloading the dishwasher. It is the most annoying thing in the world to me.

MrsRo731 · November 2015

Just all cleaning - hate it. It's horrible. I absolutely hate cleaning the bathtub and toilets, though.

sboston06 · November 2015

I pretty much hate all cleaning except for laundry. The only thing I hate about laundry is having to use quarters to do it (we live in an apartment). However DH isn't the best at cleaning, so if I want it done right, I have to do it myself.

So far the only thing pregnancy has gotten me out of is cleaning the litter box. I have to remind him to do it every night, which is really annoying.

stillcozy · November 2015

Laundry! Ugh we live in an apartment and it's not on our floor the machines dont work great and it's expensive!

Christal161 · November 2015

Dishes and the cat box. I have no choice to use the pregnancy card already. Last pregnancy, I had super hot flashes that resulted in me faint in random places and they have already started with this pregnancy. The chores have been quite slow, but SO helps be out big time!

Dishes - me

Cooking and meal prep - me

Grocery shopping - me

cleaning the kitchen - me

laundry - DH

We have a system where almost everything gets hung up and there are 2 baskets in the laundry room for things that dont get hung up. 1 basket is for socks. 1 basket is for underwear and gym pants.

vacuuming - DH

Deep cleaning - me - this includes bathrooms and steaming the floors.

trash - DH

put the bag in the trash - DH (this used to be me but the smell of the can makes me want to hurl)

I'm pulling the pregnancy card on cleaning the shower. We have really hard water and the shower head needs to soak in CLR. oh honey, i cant do it because of the fumes! It's true but it's amazing!!!

I also like having DH do the laundry. It make shim stay upstairs (where the laundry room is) all day and out of my hair!!
