For me it's LAUNDRY!!! Yuck!!! I don't mind washing and drying, but folding and putting away drives me crazy. I do it constantly, yet, it's never done. Everything I fold ~ the kids just unfold...I hate laundry!
And you would think with all the technology we have in this day and age that they would of invented a machine to wash and DRY in. Heck one that folds it for ya too, lol. I know, I'm pushing it now, but come on!!
Dishes are second on my list....
What chores do you hate doing the most?
Thanks in advance for replying!
Have a wonderful, wonderful day! :-)

Yep I agree. Mine would have to be the folding. I am sure that the pile grows every time I look at it. What happened to all my socks for some reason I now have a sockbag filled with odd socks. Once a month I go through the bag and find some of their mates but can never find all of them. I agree with the machine for the folding if one was invented I would be second in line. I would let you get first in line as it's only polite lol. Enjoy your day.

haha! same here apostrofy! ironing clothes is number one of my most hate list when it comes to household chores. that's why whenever i try to buy new clothes, i try to buy clothes which don't need much ironing. less stress and less electric consumption.

I hate hate hate cleaning the toilet and having to scrub up all the pee etc that gets caught in the weird curves of the loo. It is just too gross! I think cleaning the cat box would be the next worst job.

Call me weird, but I really love doing laundry, if only because I know that all my clothes and bedding are crisp and fresh again. My 2 absolute hates when it comes to household chores are cleaning the loo, and most of all, DISHES, as there seems to be an endless stream of them. They must hide in the walls and come out when I have finished, dried and put away.
GGRRR soooooo annoying!!!!

crazy as it may seem to you, but i love doing the laundry. not to mention doing it by hand. yep. we don't have a washing machine because i don't want to. i had such a bad experience with washing machines wherein it tore up most of my clothes! so, i do handwashing and yep, i do enjoy doing it. hehe.
i also like doing the dishes.
peole call me one kind of superwoman. i can do everything at home and enjoy it. the only thing i really hate the most is ironing. i just don't like the pressing. too much strength i seem to put on into ironing clothes. too much time and effort. that's why i hate it so much.

I hate doing all of them but the one I hate most is the cooking. I don't even mind the cooking too much, it is the cleaning up afterwards, particularly when I burn the pots which is a regular occurance since I joined myLot. Thankfully my hubby has the same taste as I only cook on weekdays. At weekends we eat takeaways or go to the pub for pub grub.

Oh my gosh, for me it is ironing. I will procrastinate endlessly with ironing. I actually went so far as to buy a clothes steamer to use instead of ironing. I don't even enjoy using it! I will even clean a bathroom before ironing.

I don't like cleaning the bathroom. But I don't like doing most household chores. I believe the house is there for you and you are not there for the house.
Laundry I don't mind.

For me it's got to be the dishes. I hate washing dishes and I think it's time I got a dishwasher, but I'm sure I would end up hating emptying the disherwasher.
Next, is ironing. It's not so bad if you do it in front of the telly then the time just flies by, but other wise it is so boring. I always said I should pay someone to do it for me, but with only 3 of us in my house there isn't enough ironing to make it worthwhile.

For me it has to be cleaning the bathroom. I really dont like that job. Specially when I used to have hard water then it was super hard to get the tub clean.

The folding doesn't bother me as I don't fold it that well, probably because I don't iron, because ironign is the worst thing for me. I just don't see the point of it.

I hate laundry too, seeing as that is how I've had to spend my day off !! I also hate cleaning the bathroom. With two little boys, it's so gross. They get their urine everywhere but where it belongs !!!!

Dishes in my house was an issue. Then I bought a dishwasher. I was living alone then my daughter & grandkids moved in with me lol. Ok the 2nd thing is "I love knick knacks" but now I have too many now, and dusting them is alot of work. So now I pay the grankids to help me dust. As for laundry I do my own. My daughter is in charge of the kids laundry. But back in the day, when my kids were old enough. I would wash and dry, and the rest was up to them. My daughter is now trying to follow in my steps all the way lol.

I'll come do your laundry if you'll come do my floors. I hate, hate, hate doing floors. Don't know why, but it's my least favorite.
