#559, "What's your least favorite chore????"


          

Hands down - putting away the groceries. I'll shop til I drop, bag the groceries, load the car, unload the car but I hate to put them away. Maybe I'm just too tired after doing all the above. Plus my husband has to put things just so!

Laundry isn't as bad as before since I got a new High Efficiency washer/dryer. Each load is HUGE but there are fewer of them to do!

I would much prefer to scrub the bathroom than put away groceries!

How about yours?

I always hated washing dishes-I'm so glad I have a dishwasher! hee hee I don't mind laundry-enjoy grocery shopping if I can go w/o children, find vacuuming peaceful and I'm even enjoying mowing-it's more vacuuming just outdoors !ha ha I hate cleaning the cat litter box and changing bedsheets. I have to change one king size bed, 2 twin beds, a toddler bed, a crib and a pack an play! (Henry has 2 places to sleep-he never uses the crib so I rarely change it! )

I hate to wash my car. I drive a Suburban and its white. Yuck!!!! Also my DH made a stop on his way home from the dealership and had shiny wheels and bigger tires put on. Thus, hard to clean wheels (I refuse to do them) and tires that throw dirt down the side. I also live in Oregon and it rains a lot.

I hate doing Laundry. IT just seems like there's no point. The minute you think you're "done" someone needs to be changed, or someone spills something, or your sister's dog runs through your house dragging the boys on your clean quilt.

I also hate cleaning the bathroom, fortunately DH doesn't mind it so that's his job.

I LOVE grocery shopping and don't mind bagging or putting them away but HATE carrying the bags into the house.
I have tried everything to lure those sweet "bag boys" from the local store to come home with me and carry the bags in.
We live in an old house, which I love, but old houses mean no attached garage. I have to carry up 2 small flights of stairs and with 4 kids that means 8 bags, at least 4 gallons of milk, a case of beer and diet coke (OK those our Victor and mine) a bag of cat food, and a jug of laundry detergent and bleach. Who needs to join a gym??

Folding laundry...I don't minding loading and unloading but I think I'd rather eat myself alive than fold laundry. In fact, I wish I could show you my laundry room right now. I bet I haven't folded laundry in a week. My dh is out of underwear and pants. Ugh.

I would also have to say...folding and putting away laundry. I'm always looking for an extra basket to put clean clothes in so I can do more laundry, then we live out of those baskets until it's empty. LOL! I'm usually pretty good about putting things away that I don't want wrinkled but as for play clothes,sorting socks & underwear etc. UGH!
Another thing is cleaning the bathtub. Sometimes I think it would be easier if I just had my cleaning supplies with me when I took a shower! LOL! Might get some funny looks though if I went "out" smelling like Lime Away & Clorox instead of Oil of Olay or Caress!

Putting groceries/laundry away and emptying the dishwasher also go on my hate to do list.

I also really hate going on "poop patrol" in the backyard. But it's much better than an even more hateful task which is cleaning dog poop from the bottoms of shoes. Yuck!!!

Another much hated task: cleaning out filth/clutter in my van. Fast food wrapers, old tissues, dirty socks, etc..they just seem to grow in there, don't they?

Cleaning pee off of the toilet from all the males in the house - I have to do it about 8 times a day & always get mad & HATE it! I have announced to my family that in a few months my daughter & I will be relieved from this job & will NEVER do it again!!! The males in the house will do it 8 times a day instead & believe me I will keep track.... only thing I can't stand more than cleaning it is having pee all over the toilet!

I have to agree that bringing the groceries into the house is the worst. We live in a rambler with tuck under garage. So I park in the driveway, walk up about a dozen long steps that stretch the full length of our house to the front door and then through the house to the kitchen. (what idiot designed this house?)

I also hate putting away the laundry because we have a space issue. I can't put it all away because it just plain doesn't fit in their rooms.

That's my whine for the day.

Putting away the laundry...keeping up with is not a problem, carrying it upstairs is not a problem...HATE separating and putting away...usu. only do it when I run out of baskets (once a week)

Washing the kitchen/hallway floor...cuz it's never as easy as that...I end up washing all the cabinets down, scrubbing the tables/chairs head to toe, and a thorough cleaning of the bathroom..usu ends up a 3 hour job (plus I am a hands and knees kind of gal and it takes soo much longer but I am just not a mop fan!)

Cleaning up dog poop...dog poops entirely too much

Organizing kids toys...don't do it often

Changing sheets on bunk beds...have 3 to do...what a pain!

That about sums up my list! LOL
