What are your most hated chores!

When I was younger my parents had to pet sit for a friend for a few weeks. I had to feed it. I will never forget how disgusted I was by the smell of wet dog food! If I ever get a dog I will only feed it dry food. It doesn't smell as bad to me.

Oh that's true. Those wet foods are disgusting to me too. I can only feed the dogs, if it's the dog foods that are like big granules.

Ooohh.. I think it's different when there are kids about. I know of some friends who really go through all the trouble in order to sanitize the house! hehehe.. But oh well, I know they'll grow tired of such after the 2nd or the 3rd child. You were right though, there's a big difference between dirty and messy. Sadly, I'm on the 'messy' side of things. When I panic for work or some activity or event, I just end up piling up mess and not having the strength (or the motivation) to clean or tidy up. hahahaha.. I wish Santa would give me the patience, endurance and motivation to clean. hahahhaa.. Have a great Holidays!

I love your honesty! I feel the same way. My mom always says my house is dirty. But in my eyes there is a difference between dirty and messy. I don't have dirty clothes or half eaten food laying around. So my house is just messy and can easily be tidyed up. I just choose not to most of the time because there is no point to it especially when you have small children. I mostly clean when my husband starts griping about it lol

That is another that I hate doing too! Bathrooms are so disgusting. I tell my 11 year old that she is old enough to do this for me. But then I feel bad passing this nasty chore that I wind up doing it. LOL I am such a pushover sometimes!

.... I will arrange to send someone from here for ironing your clothes.

Here it is the opposite. Having someone else to iron for me costs way more than doing it myself! I wish it were possible. I would gladly pay if I had the extra money.

I can see why you would regret having a garden! Do you take allergy medicine? Maybe that would help. What kind of garden do you have? I have always wanted one but as I live in an apartment it is impossible for now.

you can always have a garden in a pot zukichucha... ours need a lot of effort to take care though its just a simple garden of green ornamental plants. i hate taking allergy medicine cause it makes me drowsy all the time what i do is i just apply an ointment to my very itchy allergies after gardening!

I could not work for a dry cleaners or laundromat no matter what they paid me! Just the sound of it makes me shiver. I bet it was hard work. You must be glad to not be working there anymore!

Extremely glad. Since I have to go to laundromat to do my clothes I start quietly weeping inside because it reminds me of my old job.

Aww that is too bad! It is frustrating when pets make messes just like when kids do. But lucky cant help it. I hope you don't get to mad!

Do you have anyone that can do it for you or at least take turns? I have my husband or daughter do it for me. I am very petite so it is very hard work for me too. I have an x-large heavy duty one so it is super heavy.

I refuse to do this chore. Growing up this was my brothers job. Now it is my husband's! I have had to do it once or twice of course. It is smelly and makes my hands feel so dirty. I have to wash my hands about 10 times before I feel better!!

I'm impressed! I tried ironing for the week once. The longer I took the grumpier I felt. By the time I was done I was in a horrible mood because I was hot and tired! Never again will I do that!!

That is another hated chore in my house! We keep our clothes in laundry bags for weeks until my husband complains. Then the whole family works together to fold them. Yuck! Folding clothes is so boring.

I soak my pots and pans in hot, soapy water for a few hours. Then I use plenty of soap to wash them. That helps quite a bit!

LOL that is how I feel about it! I will never forget when I was younger something that happened to me. My mom told me to wash a dish and cover a pot of rice she was cooking. I did as she said. A little while later she yells at me to come to the kitchen. When I get there she uncovers the rice and shows me the rice. I forgot to wash the bottom of the plate and a whole pot of rice was ruined because ants were on the plate bottom and dropped in the rice. She was so angry she broke the plate over my head. I had a headache for days! Maybe that is why I hate washing dishes so much now!!

Folding can take long especially if there are a lot of clothes because you have a large family like I do. So when I am forced to fold clothes I usually do it in front of the television. This way it feels like it goes quicker because I am distracting myself by listening to the tv.

I have asthma so occasionally I start to wheeze when I dust. Then my kids have to take over while I go to another room. Vacuuming is another problem for me so I don't do it at all. My husband does it though he complains about it lol My arms get very tired pushing the vacuum around. Even though it is not heavy it pains me. Seems like dusting and vacuuming are two things I hate to do too!

I used to have a dish washer when I lived in my old house. I loved it! But we moved and this apartment doesn't have one. I keep hinting for my husband to buy me one but no luck so far.

Taking out the trash is one thing I refuse to do! The smell makes me sick to my stomach. That and vacuuming are the two chores my husband does. Otherwise we will have a smelly house and dirty rugs lol

Can you adjust the ironing board? This might help with the aches. I never feel pain from ironing. I just don't like it because it takes so long.

Oh boy do I know what you mean! At least twice a week I am too tired to wash dishes before bed. So I do them in the morning when I get up. My husband hates this! He thinks we will get mice. So what I do is I fill the sink with water and let the dishes soak overnight. The mice can climb in and lick the leftovers off if they want but they would drown trying to get back out. I never have mice so hubby knows he is wasting his breath lol I tell him he can wash them if he wants to but of course he never does.
