POLL: Favorite and Least Favorite House Chore....
Favorite: Running my vaccum!
Least Favorite: MOPPING...especially with the dog now!
Re: POLL: Favorite and Least Favorite House Chore....
Least Favorite: Its a tie between washing pots and pans and laundry.
Favorite: None really. I hate household chores. But if I had to choose one I'd say making my bed because I love how pretty all the pillow look when its done.
Least fav: Laundry
Fav: The ones that I dont have to do. Seriously. Mowing the grass and vacumming
Favorite = Vaccuming...I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the lines in the carpet..makes me feel so clean.
Least Favorite = BATHROOMS...every aspect of them!
Ugh... Bathrooms. I forgot how much I hate that too!
I love doing laundry.... I just hate putting the clothes away! LOL
I hate doing dishes.....we live in an apartment, so we have a crapy dishwasher, so it takes me forever!
Least favorite: I HATE dusting!! It takes forever to do and you get to see the results all of a couple of days before stuff gets covered in a film of dust again. Ugh! So frustrating! I also used to hate vacuuming but since it's B's chore now I don't really think about it.
Favorite: I'm not sure if this qualifies but I'm really good at straightening, organizing and keeping things picked up. I hate when piles start to collect whether it's shoes, clothes, dishes, whatever. It's so satisfying to put everything away and it makes your house feel 100% more neat even though you haven't technically cleaned anything. Plus I hate clutter so straightening up is kind of cathartic for me.
Hate the walk in tile shower - you can never really get in there to clean, or reach all the spots, and then rinsing is annoying...I would hire a maid just to do the shower if i could.
Favorite - although that might be a strong word - let's say least hated...I guess is running the battery powered vacuum on the hardwoods. There's little resistance and no cord to deal w/, quick and easy and the place looks 100% better in a few minutes.
I love Laundry & Vacumming because i am a neat freak so I like to see it clean!
However I hate scrubbing the toilets & doing dishes! :P
I don't know that I could choose a favorite - but I will go with what Layne and Mega said - I like straightening up because I like knowing everything is in its place. I also like doing laundry because I love the fresh clean smell but I hate to fold it and put it away.
I hate vacuuming and cleaning the floors. Between the dog and cat we need to do this about every day and it seems like it never ends. Bleh
Least favorite: Cleaning Bathrooms!! Apparently I married a 2-year old because my husband still has not mastered the art of pee-ing IN the toilet instead of ALL AROUND the toilet rim.
Favorite: Tidying up... I love re-arranging magazines and organizing things so it looks neat.
Oh honey all men are like that. I clean our business' office, and the men's bathroom constantly amazes me.
Favorite: yard work (when I can step back and look at how better yard looks after trimming branches back or whatever, makes me proud)
Least: Cleaning the master walk-in shower. The tile is uber annoying and needs a good re-caulk soon.
Least Fav: scrubbing the shower!! Whoever invented one-inch tiles needs to DIE!!
Fav: Laundry....I don't know what it is, but I just like doing laundry. When I was on vacation we had 15 people living in one house, so I basically did everyone's laundry as my chore. My aunt and I agreed that if I would come over and do her laundry, she would do my shower!!
Favorite: Vaccuming
Least favorite: bathrooms.
And as a side note, my husband does not pee anywhere but in the bowl. And if he ever misses, I wouldn't know because he cleans it up. So no, all men do not miss. Sorry, but that's just disgusting.
I hate them all!
But if I had to choose to do one over the other, I would choose to vacuum.
I hate putting laundry away, dusting (I have to do it, b/c DH has really bad allergies) and mopping.
I actually dont mind cleaning, so its hard to pick a favorite. I think though that I would have to go with either dusting or mopping the tile floor. I guess its not so much that I "like" doing it as much as I just love the results! I also love to use our little battery power vac on the tile floor. I could turn that on and vacuum forever! We have a small place though, so I would seem pretty anal!
I HATE bathrooms. I am the oldest child of 4 and the younger 3 were all boys. I HAD to clean the bathrooms and (not sure if they have yet) none of them had the ability to get it in the bowl. It was awful. I vowed not to clean a bathroom, if I can help it, when I moved out of a house with my dad and 2 of my brothers 5 years ago. Luckily for me my husband doesnt mind them so much!
least favorite- bathroom tiles UGH! and dishes
favorite...lol ummm if I had to choose lighting the candles after everything is clean ;-)
Favorite: Laundry! I love doing the laundry. I do both my husband's and mine. It's just an easy chore, I think. All you do is throw it in the washer and dryer and what's left is just to fold it and put it away.
Least favorite: Dishes! I think because there are new dirty dishes each day so it's not something that you can only do once a week!
Ditto Elisabeth. I always lived in a female friendly house with me, my Gma and my mom. My Gpa was the only male. And of course he was very neat, so I was spoiled. BUT my uncle's house was a whole other matter becuase there my aunt was the only female and was surrounded by boys/men. Anyway, appalled by the fact that every toilet seat in the house was up and the rim was peed on. Ech!
But I got very lucky when I married by hubs because he is anal about putting the toilet seat down and also very careful about aiming. So there are definitely men out there whole have great bathroom manners and I'm so lucky to have lived with them!
Favorite: Cooking. I'm not great at it but I enjoy making up recipes as I go. I made the best chicken gravy the other day and I am going to turn it into chicken and dumplings this weekend (mmmm).
Least favorite: Putting away the laundry. Really, if I had money I would wear a new outfit everyday (and donate the worn ones to charity) just so I could avoid putting things away. But then I could pay someone to put them away for me couldn't I?
