Poll: Things you dread
To get this board rolling, what are your most hated tasks? i.e. household chores, beauty regimens, visiting relatives.
Re: Poll: Things you dread
Getting gas for the car. I don't know when this started, but it's become one of my most hated things recently.
I always dread cleaning the kitchen. Our kitchen is tiny and it's a pain to clean because there's just not enough room in there for everything. H is much better at it than I am but he gets annoyed at doing it all the time (which is understandable) so I take a crack at it but ugh it annoys me ha.
I do kind of dread going to visit H's family. His parents house is just......awkward. like I dont think even H feels comfortable there. I like his parents (mostly ha) and I like his aunt and her family and I enjoy hanging out with his friends up there, but the house itself is very awkward for me.
Going to the gyno, some relatives, laundry, tests, coming home to a messy house!
My Bio Nest Cookbook My Cookbook
ugh, this too. I always try to get DH to do it.
Cleaning the tub, bathroom sinks, dusting.
Deep cleaning - I don't mind straightening up, but I hate dusting and the like
cleaning the kitty litter.
holidays at H's grandma's house. His family is huge and somebody is always in a bad mood, dinner is always late, I'm not allowed to help cook, it's boring as hell, and H always insists on getting there fairly early and staying long enough to help clean up. I mostly like his extended family, but all of them in one house drive me nuts. I want to be like his fellow grown-up cousins who breeze in for an hour or two and breeze right back out, but he won't do it.
My Goodness...another food blog. Featuring: Macarons from a old post with a photo taken by my mom for a break from my crappy food photos!
Making phone calls - I'll do pretty much anything to avoid this
Cleaning the litter box - luckily DH still does this

Introducing new dogs ever since the Bruno mishap.. not sure if I posted about it here but I had an English Bulldog that attacked Spike and ended up biting through my hand, fracturing it, and chipping my knuckle bone. It was hands down the scariest pet "thing" ever, I was home alone, and each time I tried to pull Bruno off blood flew everywhere (of course i have pictures, I'm gross like that). I didn't realize how much it upset me until I brought Nya home, I was shaking and made poor Nya drag a leash for 2 days until DH said it was enough
seeing my parents. we have seriously run out of things to talk about, so after about 10-15 minutes it gets painful.
dealing w/ my financial advisor/retirement accounts. I feel like I always have to have a conversation with them adn they go over all my accounts, etc. and I'm always like - yeah, I know, I just need to change one thing, but I have to go over everything every time.
bra shopping - I've been needing to get new bras for like a year, but I seriously cannot make myself do it.
Flying. I don't mind the airport and I don't mind the actual being high up, but I hate how cramped and uncomfortable planes are, not to mention the constant recycled air and germs.
Bathing suit shopping. Enough said.
Football. I know, I know. I've tried, but I just hate it.
Folding laundry, cleaning drains, cleaning litter/backyard, gardening in the summer when there are tons of bugs.
Doing the dishes
Cleaning the shower
Getting gas in the car
Doing outside work in the heat

The gyno as everyone else mentioned
Shopping lately has been something I haven't enjoyed. Food, Clothes, Shoes, doesn't matter. I don't like it
