VeteranMom Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I'm on day 2 of a 3 day of a house cleaning marathon. I'm putting off my least favorite chore- cleaning out the refrigerator. I absolutely hate it. It always makes me feel guilty, too, when I have to throw away food I've accidentally wasted. What's your least favorite chore?

Suzanne in ABQ Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Well, if you base it on the frequency at which it gets done, I'm guessing that dusting would top the list. I hate emptying the dishwasher, so my dh does it. Clearing off my dryer (my worst "hot spot") must be high on my hate list as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belacqua Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Well, if you base it on the frequency at which it gets done, I'm guessing that dusting would top the list. I hate emptying the dishwasher, so my dh does it. Clearing off my dryer (my worst "hot spot") must be high on my hate list as well. So I guess we can't trade off with each other, because I don't like those, either. My designated dishwasher emptier leaves for college tomorrow, so I suppose I'll have to do it myself from now on.

Critterfixer Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Cleaning the bathtub. Hate that. I also hate baseboards and some ceiling fans. They sure are pretty to look at but they are not the easiest thing in the world to dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanaqui Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Laundry. It never, ever ends. When you wash dishes, you can look at all the clean dishes and the shiny sink, but laundry? Even as you're at the tub, clothes are getting dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Cleaning the shower curtain. Washing or putting away flatware. I'm a-ok with the rest of the dishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerileanne99 Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Ooh, for me it is the microwave. Ugh. The smell is so repulsive. And bits of hard food to scrub at. *shudder* I would actually rather clean toilets and bathrooms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Laundry. Uugghhh. I also hate emptying the dishwasher, I don't know why I hate it but I do. I probably fill up the dishwasher two or three times a day but I make dd empty it. I also hate vacuuming but I hate the way the vacuum vibrates my hand.

OneStepAtATime Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 For sheer volume? Laundry. Otherwise laundry would be o.k. I don't really like putting it away once it is clean and folded, though, which really seems silly but there you go... For actual something that I really genuinely hate doing, cleaning baseboards and cleaning tall ceiling fans, just like Critterfixer. hate, hate, hate. nails on chalkboard hate. sitting in an ant bed naked hate. No idea why. :confused1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idnib Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Ooh, for me it is the microwave. Ugh. The smell is so repulsive.

I am so going to try it this week. Really. Hubby knows how horrible I find the task so resolves to do it for me...but for some reason he sees this as a monthly or semi-annual task, lol. Uh, no. At least weekly dear:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pawz4me Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Dusting. I would probably hate cleaning ceiling fans, too. But I make DH do that chore. He only needs the step stool. I'd need the ladder. Reason enough. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amira Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Showers. I could afford a housekeeper (and it's expected here), and I have my reasons for not having one, but I do hire someone once or twice a year to clean the stupid showers. And the windows.

SKL Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 My least favorite cleaning job? I used to say bathtubs, but with the invention of Tilex, that has gotten a lot easier. So now I think I'll go with cleaning the basement. It stinks, there are critters (and critter poo) and spiders (and spiderwebs), and most of the crap down there is garbage that the hoarders won't let go of. I did finally clear a path to the furnace and water heater. I keep telling myself I'm going to clean a little each week and get it done someday. Ha! I also dislike cooking, but since I do so little of it, I don't know if that counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom in High Heels Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Good grief, all of them! I hate cleaning (though I like vacuuming). I hate laundry with the heat of a thousand suns. Unfortunately, I also hate a messy house. Boo. Right now my house is more than a mess. It's a complete disaster. I hate moving. Why do we have so much stuff???? Vacuuming. I get vacuum cleaner rage. So I sweep instead. I should come visit. I love vacuuming. I have no idea why, but it relaxes me. I have a deep and abiding love for my Shark vacuum. Frequent chore….folding and putting away laundry. Occasional chore….the 'fridge. While I hate cleaning in general, laundry is the WORST! I hate laundry. Hate, hate, hate, HATE laundry. HATE IT!

elinnea Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Umm, everything? I like having a clean house but I loathe actually having to clean it. The only domestic task I really enjoy is hanging out the wash. Something very satisfying about pinning clothes up and having them merrily swaying in the breeze.

Slache Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Dishes. Everything we own goes in the dishwasher. I don't buy dishes that won't. I don't mind doing laundry at all as long as I don't have to put it away. I have this weird vision thing where I can't see things that aren't organized and my husband's clothes are always a mess so I can't put his clothes away. I do the laundry and fold it but he puts it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripley Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I don't much care for housekeeping, but my kids have assumed the chores I most dislike so I'm in a pretty good spot right now. I wish I could say the same for them. Now they understand why I hate the chores I hate. It's called THEIR NASTY TOILETS. And now they each have their own, and they each get to CLEAN their own. I thought I hated toilets, but turns out I just hate cleaning toilets of little, gross kids! I like to vacuum and sweep, I find both to be relaxing somehow. I zone out, my brain gets a break. I don't mind dishes or laundry, both feel productive to me. I get such a satisfying buzz from scrubbing the refrigerator! I love that job. If I had to pick something, I'd say my least favorite chore is yard work. My kids do the pool, lawn and weeding. That leaves me to clean gutters, wash windows, sweep the patio and steps, and keep the garage organized/clean. I'm not local to the area I live in. It's either stupid hot or nasty cold, so being outside is never very comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILiveInFlipFlops Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Dusting! I feel like it's this insurmountable task that's never done, and as soon as I do finish it, I turn around and things look dusty again. And there are so many nooks and crannies and teeny surface areas that one never thinks of, even in this relatively knick-knack-free house!
