Re: One Household Job You Hate.

[ Edited ]

Don't really like any of them, but scrubbing floors on my hands and knees is my least favorite. I usually use a mop, but once in awhile old fashioned scrubbing is needed. My husband helps me, but he's older than I am. Just really hard on our backs and knees as we age. I also dislike cleaning the unfinished side of the basement and the garage, even though it doesn't really need to be done that often.

I have 2: emptying the dishwasher and changing bed linens. Sometimes I will simply plop the pile of clean linens on the bed and throw the top sheet over me at that night, until the next day when I can summon the drive to completely make the bed.

@cjm61    I'm in the same boat...three young granddaughters.  For some reason they like to "giggle" on the potty.  😊.  I have replaced the pins (bolts) many times.

Number One is bathrooms.   Hate them!   I have three and sometime wish they would go away.

Hate is such a harsh word, but I don't mind using it in this case.  I  HATE it all!  Woman LOL

Mopping the floors. Hard on me physically.

I hate ALL of them. That's why I have a service twice a month.

Re: One Household Job You Hate.

Cats.

 

Anything pertaining to cats.  Two of them.

 

My life would be so much easier.  My house would be so much cleaner.

 

Sad, but true.

 

As soon as I come out of the bedroom, I must feed them. 

While they are eating I wash their dishes and give them fresh water. 

 

They immediately use the Litter Robot, so then I run the Roomba in their area upstairs. 

 

I have to vacuum the stairs leading up to their rooms.

 

I have to use the lint roller on the pestemals thrown over the couch or wash 9 pestemals instead.  About every 3 days.

 

This is all within minutes of waking up.

 

I have to take about 5 rubber backed bathmats up to 5 feet long to the laundromat about once a week that they step on after exiting the Litter Robot.

 

I run the downstairs Roomba every day in the summer.

 

Plus I vacuum, plus I wash the floors, both once a week.  They aren't allowed in every room (not 3 bedrooms or both bathrooms).

 

Again, to answer your question, Cats.

Re: One Household Job You Hate.

When we moved to our current home which is very large 10 years ago, I told my DH that it was too much to clean on my own.  So we hired cleaners to come every other week.  Then we bought a beach house and at first I cleaned it myself but who wants to clean when you are on vacation so  we hired a neighbor who has a cleaning business to clean it as needed.  

 

So the only chores I have is laundry, washing dishes, loading/unloading the dishwasher, cleaning the fridge and taking out the trash.  None of them I really mind that much but if I had to pick I'd say washing dishes.
