I can't stand cleaning house and I never will. I know it has to be done so I do it with much reluctance. Today I did the bathrooms. This is my most hated chore, especially the toilets. I would never make it as a janitor. I think they deserve a medal. I gag while cleaning the toilets and they are not that dirty there is only 2 of us. What is your most hated chore?

I clean toilets everyday and it is a cake walk compared to cleaning out a dirty refrigerator. That is a tiresome task especially when there is caked on crap.

I am not fond of the refrigerator myself. I try to give it a wipe down every few days inside and out so there is no build up. Not a lot of food to get around with 2 people. We shop once a week.

I always do my dishes right away now so there is no pile up. When the kids where living at home, I would do dishes after supper and wake up to a sink full of dishes before breakfast.

I am with you. I am not a big house cleaner. I do it because I have to and I can sometimes get help with it. I think bathrooms are worst.

We moved into a smaller place the beginning of March and we have no kids living with us, so it is easier to keep it clean. Though, everytime my 2 year old granddaughter comes over the vacuum cleaner has to come out the next morning.

You must live at home. Sounds like my kids rooms when they lived with me.

I think my least favorite things to do are cleaning the bathtub and vacuuming. The vacuuming gets on my nerves I guess just cause it's so loud and it seems like it takes awhile, and then sometimes there are little bits that get left behind and have to be run over a few times with the vacuum before they finally get picked up. Cleaning the bathtub bothers me cause I don't like breathing in the chemicals and I hate trying to lean down into the tub to get the bottom clean.

I have a funny story about vacuuming. I just moved into this townhouse and I was vacuuming the upstairs. All of the sudden I heard a big crash. I went omg what did the cat do now. I ran down stairs and the globe over the kitchen light and fell of and crashed to the floor. There was glass everywhere. I guess the people who lived here before me did not put it back right. Luckly, the landlord replaced it and did not charge me.

well i dislike doing household stuff generally but i would have to agree with you that doing the bathroom is pretty nasty...also doing the dishes (we dont have a dishwasher, but our daughters do the dishes currently) i hate all that food that gets into your dish water.

I don't mind the dishes anymore. When my three kids lived at home, it felt like all I did was dishes. Well now I only do them once a day and it only takes a few minutes.

I hate housecleaning, too. I really don't like cleaning the bathrooms and the bathtubs. But, I don't really like cleaning the kitchen, either. And, the bedroom never gets clean because of all the clutter. I really hate doing laundry the most, then cleaning the bathroom second. Funny you should mention being a janitor. I used to clean an office building when I was in high school. I am bad at cleaning, especially at that time, but I got better really fast, especially when I was doing it for pay.

I absolutely hate cleaning the toilet. Only two of us in the house too but I still hate doing the job. But my hate of housework doesn't end in the bathroom. I hate cleaning the oven. The only time I seem to clean the oven is when I move.

It is funny you mention the oven, I am the same way. I was 9 years in my last place and I might of cleaned the oven 2 or 3 times. I hired someone to clean the fridge, stove and bathrooms when we moved. That way I was able to concentrate on unpacking the new place and clean anything that had to be cleaned there.

Hi linda345! Oh goodness, today I just hate to be doing any house chores. But on any regular day without feeling blue, the chore I hated most is cleaning the toilet too. Just my thoughts. take care and have a nice day!

I really hate cleaning the bathroom. It's the worst. Especially the toilet. That's disgusting. So mostly I'm just like you in hating doing the toilets and bathrooms. I wouldn't make it as a janitor either that's why I'm a waitress. There are only 2 of us as well and it's really not that dirty either.
