When you were a child growing up, was there a particular chore you hated to do?

On weekends my dad would make me pull weeds in the yard and the kids would laugh at me because I wasnt able to play like they did

The only chore I can recall is setting the table for dinner and doing the dishes afterwards.

There were four of us - so it rotated.  

I grew up in an urban area ... no outside cshores.

Drying the dishes.

Mowing the lawn.

Cleaning the bathrooms.  Saturday morning was chore day, that's how we earned our allowances.  My mom called scrubbing the bathrooms. Hated it.  I would have liked doing yardwork but in our family, the girls did the housework.  The boys did the yardwork and helped my dad with the cars he was always giving up and selling.

Dusting. In West Texas it has to be done often.

Cleaning period ! I hated it then and I hate it now. I do it because it's necessary, but  it's just a never ending PITA.

I hate to say this but I didn't have any chores.  My Mom was a stay at home mom and did everything.  Occasionally I had to run to the corner store.  

I had a lot to learn when I got married.

There was a lot of ironing to do.  Didn't hate it but it never ended.

Aside from house cleaning, I hate ironing, I remember when my sister and I were home from school during the summer months, if we said we were bored, my mom would bring out the iron and board and bag of clothes that needed ironing, in those days we did not have steam irons, we had to use a sprinkler bottle filled with water.

@Winkk   Similar to you, fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, I also didn't have any chores.  But my mom worked full time, though.  I, too, had a lot to learn.
