CHORES, Which One Do You Just Hate Doing?

[kiobe]

I always put off taking the propane BBQ tank to the gas station because it's so stupid, then I run out of fire in the middle of cooking.:flare: I cooked this way for decades and then last year I hooked my BBQ to the house natural gas and now I laugh at the people at the gas stations with thier dumb little tanks.:lol:

[Shalot]

Oh good topic.

I hate charging my cell phone.

I hate cleaning the microwave out.

I hate folding clothes. I don't mind putting the clothes in the washer or dryer but I hate folding them and putting them away. But I hate dealing with a basket full of wrinkled clothes also, so I do what I must.

I hate cleaning the stove top (don't have one of those flat tops but I would just love to have one)

I hate dealing with the accumulation of junk mail and bills and credit card solicitaitons. I feel as though I must shred those and I tend to save up a bunch papers that need to be shredded for a long time and it's just bad.

Mopping the floor. It is a never ending task with two kids and two dogs so I've learned to hate it. In the winter we get tons of rain, so there is always mud in my house. This meant that I am vaccuming the carpet once or twice a day and then I still had to mop once a day or so.

Good point Shalot. I forgot how much I hate folding laundry. I'm bad about letting it sit for day just because I'm not in the mood to get everything folded and put away in the proper place.

[Bakiryu]

I hate: Housework!!!
I'm a good cook but I CANNOT sweep.
I hate doing the dishes, taking out the trash, and feeding the monkey in the closet.

[motherhubbard]

I hate cleaning the fridge. There is just so much to it. But at my house I save all the really crappy chores for punishment. Mind or scrub the baseboards and the toilet or just whatever needs doing that is crappiest.

[kiobe]

Emptying the dishwasher. I will let the sink pile up with dishes because the dishwasher is clean and full. I will even do the dishes by hand before I empty it.

[Bakiryu]

In my house they save all the chores for ME. the tv breaks? Bakiryu will fix it. The car? sure Bakiryu is an expert! Cleaning the fridge and watering the ficus? Yeah, let's make Bakiryu do it!

Aaaaargh *grumbles in anger*

You are a renaissance man.

[kiobe]

LOL:lol:

[Bakiryu]

I don't know what that means but since it has the word renaissance on it, sure.

[motherhubbard]

I have four kids, it will never happen. They try though and I do appreciate that. They never say they're bored either! There are times we do have to turn music and do chores together.

[kiobe]

I don't know what that means but since it has the word renaissance on it, sure.

Man of the world and knowledgable in many areas.

[Bakiryu]

If I ever have kids I'll swear I'll make my parents clean after them, they should repay ME for doing all this curse house-cleaning and electric-appliance fixing.

[Bakiryu]

Oh, why, thank you. *Preens*

As a joke you should send them a bill for work completed.;)

That’s true, but sometimes I just let that go. They play outside in the summer until it's too dark to see anymore then they track in everything. I sweep after every meal and when they go to bed, but I can't always bring myself to mop knowing that there will just be syrup or egg in the floor before anyone has a chance to see that I did. I mostly just spot clean the kitchen, and I only sweep the rest just before my husband comes home.

[Bakiryu]

You're such a good mother! My mother makes ME clean. I wish there were more like you!

Motherhubbard is such a perfect user name. I hope they treat you like a queen.

they do and thank you.

[Bakiryu]

You should make your children and hubby clean for a while, I know I would.

[motherhubbard]

I like things the way they are. Sometimes I could use a little more help, but all in all I like the way things are. What they should do is not make messes in the first place!

[kiobe]

going to the gas station used to piss me off too, but now I have a Prius so I actually like now.

[Shalot]

I used to be like that but now the thought of running out of gas comes to my mind so I just kind of go fill it up now and I don't think about how much it cuts into my routine. I don't even get very upset as the gas prices go up and up and up (and I probably should). I really don't want to run out of gas though so I just pay and keep trucking.

[Bakiryu]

There's a gas station in the corner of my house, but I still don't have a car, not until I'm 18, *curses*. I'm buying a motorcycle thought. Any suggestions?

Funny how even talking about chores leads you to other things.

When we used to have a rabbit, the worst job was cleaning out her cage.

Cleaning the kitchen in a hall-of-residence when your 10 flatmates have had a pretty wild night involving curry and vodka in excessive quantities :sick:

Cat litter.....4 cats......although it is a shared chore among the household.

[barbara0207]

Tidying up my study. During the school year I mostly pile papers and even books on top of each other. So I have to use part of my summer holidays to file everything and to decide what to throw away and what to keep. (Throwing things away is hard to do, especially books! Of course I don't throw away literature, just old textbooks I haven't looked at for years. But it's hard, anyway.)

Every summer I promise myself I will put things where they belong right away, but I never make it. :sick:

[cranberry]

I hate babysitting noisy children from the family , children can be cute to play along with but when they scream you just want to fill thier mouth with food ! :) i feel better now ......thanks for the thread ! :banana:

[dramasnot6]

Cleaning the bathroom! argh!
Other then that I do all the cooking and laundry, as well as drying the dishes and usually have no problem with it.

My fear of fears in my cat-sitting days, I sympathize.

[kiobe]

My fear of fears in my cat-sitting days, I sympathize.

This guy that used to live across the street from me had 3 cats and two little dogs in a very small house and I don't think he or his wife EVER cleaned the cat box. Once I went into thier house to help move something and I just couldn't believe the smell. Cat and dog urine, poop from the cat box that was actually in the garage but it didn't seem to matter. It seemed that the whole place was melting from all the toxic fumes. Luckilly they never had kids.

[Bakiryu]

I used to live near this old lady that had about 17 cats or so, scary!

[motherhubbard]

cat litter can be bad, but how many of you have cleaned a hen house? lots of poop, feathers, and mites. I'm sure they eat all of the spiders, but it doesn't feel like it.

[Bakiryu]

I used to live on a farm, have you ever tried a pigpen? Sure a henhouse is pretty bad but the pigs and the rabbits are worse!!!

Oh well, farmwork. That's another matter alltogether. Ever had to kill a chicken for dinner? Once you smell that chicken when you are pluckin, gutting and such, you won't want to eat another one, ever.

[Bakiryu]

there's a reason i'm a vegetarian. every 25 for christmas my family killed, and gutted a 300 pound pig.

I LOVE milk, but there was this dairy on our way to the beach we'd pass all the time that stunk sooo bad we would have to cover our faces with our towels until we passed it and we were a bunch of tough guy surfers.

Pork is so tasty and so vile at the same time.

[Bakiryu]

Yikes! There's nothing like fresh milk, right out of the cow but these things have to be scrubbed clean.

I just can't look at pork anymore!

Yea, ya don't want to drink from a........... something that's been draging through the ................manure. rhyme, rhyme.

[Bakiryu]

That's why you BOIL the milk....

Yes, they are worse. At least chickens produce more than droppings.

If you aren't frying the chicken just skin it. I can the chicken and so I get them all done in just a day, then it's so yummy I don't mind

Once when I was a very poor teen living alone a lady i didn't really know gave me thirty lbs of potatoes, and that was all I had to eat for months. It took me years to eat potatoes again.

Yikes! Long ago we had nothing to eat but cucumbers, I developed like an allergy and had to be hospitalized for anemia, have my stomach pumped and be treated as if i had anorexia. I haven't eated a cucumber in 7 years!

[motherhubbard]

People just weren’t made to live like that. I moved back home at Thanksgiving and my mom fixed me a plate (I had lost so much weight that I couldn’t really do much for myself). She piled it with potatoes and I didn’t know if I was going to puke or cry.

Cleaning out the icky whatevers from the kitchen sink strainer. It makes me gag every time.

yes --- that is gross

I hate scrubbing the tub. Soap scum is bad. It's hard to get out.

[LPRox015]

Dishes! I loathe it! :) I'd rather do anything else.

[Idril]

Anthing to do with floor care, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping. I would rather do about anything, including cleaning toilets than deal with floors.

[Shalot]

cat litter can be bad, but how many of you have cleaned a hen house? lots of poop, feathers, and mites. I'm sure they eat all of the spiders, but it doesn't feel like it.

The trick to cat litter is just to do it everyday before it has a chance to get rank --- in fact, a little cleaning every day keeps everything in order. If you let things pile up, you're just asking for trouble. Then again, cleaning becomes this neverending task and that's no way to live. Then again, quality of life diminishes if you have no dishes because they're all dirty and you have to dry off with a wash cloth because you're too lazy to wash the towels and if you wait a month to change the sheets they get grimy and if you don't clean the floor, little clingons stick to your feet when you walk across it. :sick:

AMEN SISTER! i SERIOUSLY HATE floor cleaning, I would've been so happy 900 years ago with a dirt floor, that way i would never have to clean it *bliss*

[motherhubbard]

I've been digging potatoes for the past couple of days. I'm really beginning to hate it. I wish a big rain would come and just uncover all of the potatoes.

any tips for the hen house?

[Shalot]

any tips for the hen house?

well no. can't say as I've ever dealt with that beast before. I was just thinking about the cat box and the people who don't clean it everyday and how their homes smell.

no no, I can't comment on the hen house at all.

[motherhubbard]

I get out the shovel and the seven dust and go after it. It makes dealing with a little poop scoop seam like small potatoes.

[toni]

I have no problem with the laundry and with the dishes, but i think it is really weird that I don't mind cleaning bathrooms,(toilets and tiles and all) okay ,you can stop saying "yuck" now..:lol: it must be related to my plumbing skills.. Chores I absolutley abhor doing are =TAKING OUT THE TRASH= and =CLEANING THE STAIRS=

[Shalot]

I hate cleaning my cubicle at work apparently. Had a problem with the keyboard today and I picked it up and there were all these dustbunnies under there and some staples and some crumbs... then I looked at the monitor and the same thing... So I went under the desk to the tower and there more staples and paper clips and some smushed bits of raisens or something in the carpet. :sick:

[kiz_paws]

I earnestly hate vacuuming. It hurts my back and by the time I am done, I have a full tilt rage happening. Is it worth it, I ask myself.... :flare:

[Lily Adams]

Yard work. D: I LOATHE outside. *hisssss* Plus it's hard. I really don't mind getting dirt on me, though.

[farnoosh]

well,doing my bed and cleaning the room is what i hate the most!
