What are your most enjoyable household chores ?

Excuse me but, does the word enjoyable belong in the same sentence as household chores I only find cleaning therapeutic if I'm home alone and can still see where I've been 3 or 4 hours later.I had 2 weeks alone in the spring and, when I wasn't at work I was dusting and scrubbing and reaching into the depths of cupboards with the cleaning cloths etc etc. I was tired but content at the end. Now, I just look around and feel like I wasted a fortnight of my life!! (Oh that sounds like I haven't cleaned since... I have...honest...it just doesn't have the same impact)

Hello mimpi1911 this is checkmail and like many household chores like washing, drying, cleaning, arranging of utencils, clothes, even like to iron the clothes and realyl do enjoy this stuff.I wake up eary in the morning to stock up some drinking water, later manage some kitchen for mine breakfast.I enjoy ironing of clothes as its also feels warmth, especially in winters.Even arranging the thing to its proper places is an fun game, sometimes even get some lost money in that work.So its fun to do some household chores after all.

Hmmm, enjoyable chore? Isn't that an oximoron? I do enjoy washing dishes, though. I like it, I think, because it's something that gets done and looks good when it's finished, when the dishes are all cleaned and put away. There are so many chores that never seem to get done, like laundry. It never fails that, when I think I've done all the laundry, I always find one or two pieces of clothing that need washing. But, when the dishes are washed and put away and the sink is clean and shining, I always get a good feeling. Other than that, I don't think there is any other chore that I would say is enjoyable. Oh, I like a clean house but I don't enjoy cleaning it. I hate ironing, too. These days, I only iron what I plan to wear that day and only if I'm planning to go out or have company over. Other than those times, I don't care if I'm all wrinkly or not. LOL I remember my mother ironing our bed sheets. You'd never find me ironing sheets! But, in her defense, way back then the sheets were all made of 100% cotton and did wrinkle pretty badly. We didn't have a clothes dryer so they didn't get "fluffed", they just hung on the clothesline and dried, leaving them wrinkled. Still, geez, we sleep on those sheets and they're going to get wrinkled anyway, right?

Hey mimpi! I'm with you on the ironing! I hate that the most of all the chores! When I was working I would do laundry on Saturday and iron on Sunday morning and I would just about be crying! My back would hurt standing and ironing my work clothes for the week! I'm glad I don't have to do that anymore! I don't love cleaning, but once I get started I'm ok! I have a bad knee and bad back so bending and standing hurts which makes cleaning certain things like the tub and vacumning difficult! But, I just do it anyway! Another mylotter told me to get a certain back brace, but I am so stubborn and haven't tried it yet! I went all the way to the store to get it and it has been just sitting here! I really need to give it a try to see if it works as well as she said! Then maybe doing my chores wouldn't be so painful!lol

on the contrary, I hate washing and cleanning ,I don't like to touch the water especially in winter . but essentially I am lazy in housework ^_^ At home I rely on my mother. she require the house to keep clean at any moment .So she won't stop do houseworking so far as she is free ~

I tend to enjoy washing dishes and sometimes dusting. Although the dust in the air gest to me sometimes, I just enjoy turning up some music and getting everything clean. As for dishes, it is just a relieving activity for me because my mind doesn't focus on anything else during that time. I hate having a messy kitchen, so i always feel better when everything is clean and put back in place.

I would squirm into a corner or into hiding somewhere when it came to doing any household chores within the house. My mom would give me shout and get me to go around doing at least some of them. Now of course do some of them knowing fully well that i have to do them. The washing part i have to so got kind of used to it. The only one i'd really get myself to go about doing with a little interest is cleaning and arranging the shelves and show cases.

I do not much care for any of the household chores but I w ould say that if I have to choose it would be cooking some simple food.[What a lazy lump I am !!.I like to read, work on the net , or have fun gazing at parrots and magpies.

Mines would be, washing dishes that are non sticky! I also like to mop, I just love the way the floor smells after I clean it. I like cleaning glass windows too. I love the see the streak free shine that is given.

It is cooking for me, though there are times that i really get so lazy i just want to buy ready to eat food. But then, again, there is no match to the fulfillment i get when i see my family enjoying what i had prepared for them. I prefer ironing than washing even with the help of a washing machine.

Wanna come clean for me then, mimpi? *LOL* There really are no household chores that I find enjoyable or therapeutic. I can always find something else to do. But, if I have to pick something, I guess it would be doing the laundry.

I also hate ironing i find it to be not needed most of the time. I do not mind doing the laundry or cleaning the house. I also do not like unloading the dishwasher that i believe is my least favorite think to do because I'm not a fan of the bending down and picking up heavy dishes. There are things like doing the laundry that is needed everyday and i have found that to be my most favorite thing to do as it is the easiest chore to do. I also don't like doing yard work, but know it has to be done for the outside of the house to look nice. There are so many chores that have to be done around the house both inside and outside and when you buy a house you are the one who will be doing all of it.

Mimpi my dear there's just no such thing. I loathe any form of housework at all as it is repetivtive and boring and needs doing again. I can quite easily be distracted from doing it completely. I wish I could afford a cleaner to do it all but I can't so have it down to a few minutes worth at a time.

Helolo Mimi1911 I like vaccum cleaning and mapping the floor. Smelling the fresh scent and knowing my feet will pick up somehting that will get stuck in my foot or I say ouch etc.. Also the bathroom is my room that I like really clean and the kitchen. Wash is ok and dishes ok but it never ending. I do hate folding and putting the clothes away I never seem to have enough room to put it. Thanks Sincerely Unique16

I think that gardening has to be mine, I always love to do that part. And then when it is all finished its just wonderful to look at.

Washing is my favorite chore. Before I knew how I thought it would be the hardest. I was afraid I would ruin my favorite clothes but I didn't Now I have it down to a science.In fact it is fun.

Ironing is really a boring job. I used to iron my clothes when I was young. I learned how from my elder sister. But later I never do it again. It is troublesome. I don't think that I have a most enjoyable household chores, but I am happy to do it when I have to face the job.

It stresses me out terribly when I have a lot of cleaning to do knowing I have to find the time to do it and sometimes thats really hard with taking care of two little kids 24/7. I love though after everything is all clean and the house is tidy the great feeling you get of having a clean house to sit down in and relax. My favorite household chore is definitely vaccuming! I LOVE IT! I vaccuum the down stairs carpets where there is a lot of traffic usually twice a day. I love when the carpet has lint or anything on it to see it all get sucked up in the vaccuum and see how nice the carpet looks after being vaccuumed. I love to hear things get sucked up in the vaccuum like clumps of dirt etc.

now that you mentioned it, i realized that no matter how much i have actually cleaned, it wouldn't make me really exhausted. but when i iron a few clothes, i get really tired... haha i wonder why... most enjoyable household chores? that would be uhm, cleaning too... haha

I don't really have a favorite chore, but there are some that I don't mind as much as others, like laundry and vacuuming.
