What is your least favorite household chore?

I don't mind cleaning at all because when I clean, I know it is really clean. Every time I ask my darling fiance to clean anything... well, it meets his standards, but if my future MIL saw it she would probably tell him not to marry me.

I will happily mop, vacuum, sweep, dust, organize, scrub, and wash the house top to bottom (on the inside) but I HATE hanging up clothes. I guess it came from working retail clothes and just doing that all day, but I'm pretty sure I hated it even before that. I will fold everything and put it away but for some reason the act of hanging them up bothers me.

What about you? What is your least favorite chore?

  • I hate cleaning toilets. No matter how clean they are, toilets are gross.

    This! I hate doing the aftermath of laundry. Sorting and putting in washer/dryer - fine. Folding and putting away - torture.

  • Cleaning the bathroom by far is my least favorite.  I have this thing about hair....ugh, it just makes me gag and for whatever reason the bathroom is the one place where stray hairs seem to congregate.  

    In fact I'm trying to clean everything else in the house today so that FI will be forced to clean the bathroom this weekend.

    Agreed. But that only means that MH folds the laundry ... and then I end up re-folding about a week later.

    A daily shower cleaner doesn't help? I know mine does and it's just the Target brand.

  • Folding the laundry and putting away the dishes.  For some reason I have no issues with washing the laundry or washing the dishes, it's the second (and fairly important) step I don't enjoy.

  • I highly dislike doing the dishes.. especially when theres a HUGE pile in the sink 
  • I hate doing dishes.

    I love doing laundry because I can multitask while I'm doing it.

  • The toilet and yard work. 
  • I don't mind folding laundry, but I don't like putting away. I usually pile everything on the bed and DH puts it away when he heads to bed.

  • Dusting, vacuuming and ironing. I actually enjoy doing laundry and folding clothes. I love the smell of the detergent and fabric softener and I love to make nice, neat folds and piles of clothes.

    This. I also HATE unloading the dishwasher.  And matching socks!

  • The bathroom.  I wish I could turn it into a wet room and power wash it with hot bleach water.
  • Folding laundry. I'd take a dirty bathroom over folding laundry any day.

  • Bathrooms are pretty bad on my list especially our shower. No matter what I do the thing never looks clean. It has to do with the fact that the previous owner tried to reglaze it and did a terrible job.

    Laundry is also one of my least favorite chores. I don't mind the washing / drying / folding aspect but I NEVER put the clothes away. The clothes sit in the laundry basket all folded and I just pick out of there when I need something to wear. The clothes never make it in the drawers or closet.

     This for sure!!!

  • I hate doing the dishes.  But I love a clean sink so its a catch 22.

  • I HATE sweeping the floor!  I don't mind doing anything else in the kitchen, but the floors are a pain.

    I LOVE folding and putting away laundry...I will come do it for all of you who hate it!  I find it relaxing and since I'm a bit of a control freak, I love doing it my way instead of my DH who will wrinkle it all up as he stuffs it in his drawer!!

    Unloading the dishwasher for me too. I feel myself getting pissy just thinking about it.
