Daily chores you hate

  1. Cooking.
  2. Washing dishes.
  3. Putting clothes away, I have piles of clean washing dotted around my house in the hope that one day I might just put them away.
  4. Tidying up after the kids are in bed.

I hate doing dishes!
Unloading the dishwasher
Vacuuming
Folding laundry
Cleaning the toilet
Cleaning the litter box
dusting
cooking (despise it!)
I hate everything really!

I hate vacuuming. I don’t like loud noises, and I hate how I have to keep pausing to shove furniture around or switch the cord to different electrical outlets to reach different parts of the room.

Oh, and I also hate picking all my crap up off the floor first.

I don’t do any household chore daily, and that includes washing dishes. I have too much fun stuff to do to worry about housework that much even though it means long cleaning sessions before people come over.

Making the beds…so I don’t.
Washing dishes…so the SO does them
Cleaning the litterbox…damnit, no one will do this for me!
Cooking, I like doing unless nobody can decide what they want. Drives me crazy. Everything else I do maybe once a week so it’s not too bad.

  • Cleaning the litterbox.
  • Sweeping the floor.
  • Defragging the computer (really, really slow computer).
  • Matching the socks (I wear black trouser socks, and now have 47 black socks, of which there are 16 pairs matched up: the rest are orphans.)
  • Putting the books back on the shelf (the floor next to the bed is just so convenient).Putting away the laundry.
  • Taking the garbage to the dumpster.

Packing the little kamikazee’s lunches for school. If ya pack them a wholesome lunch they won’t eat it. Lately I have been just turning them loose in the cupboards and letting them pick their own food. But its late in the school year, maybe next fall I will get inspired again.

Not all of these are daily chores, but I hate them enough that I’m putting them on the list anyway.

1 - making beds. I just don’t see the point. You’re just gonna get in and mess 'em up again. Usually, I don’t bother, but as the house is for sale I have to make the bed. I usually beg and plead until Mr. Athena does it, though.

2 - washing my car. I really like having a clean car, but I hate washing it. Once again, I usually bargain with Mr. Athena for it. Recently I cleaned up dog puke in exchange for a car wash at a future date. I once did 8 loads of laundry for him in exchange for it. I will go to great lengths to get someone else to wash my car.

3 - Anything having to do with hauling around hoses. I suspect this is a big part of why I hate washing my car, although I hate washing it in car washes as well. There’s still a chance of frost in our area, so I can’t turn on the sprinkler system yet. The house will show better if we have a green lawn, though, so I’m stuck hauling around sprinklers and hoses. I can’t tell you how much I hate doing this.

Contrariwise, I will cook, clean the kitchen, and do laundry til the cows come home without it bothering me. I don’t mind grocery shopping, either.

Oooh, there are a LOT of chores I hate doing daily. I pretty much would rather not do any housework, but there are a couple things that just get to me.

Vacuuming. I would rather sweep the carpet with twice as much effort and time than pull that vacuum cleaner out. I also hate dusting, and usually put it off until even I am disgusted by the film covering the couple pieces of furniture in the house which seem to attract dust.

I also seem to have a hard time bringing the trash cans and recycling bin back from the street. I don’t have a problem loading up the yard cart and dragging it out to the street, but bringing them back is, for some reason, hard to do. Changing light bulbs in a timely manner also seems to be a problem. I, too, hate putting folded clothes away and have a couple mini-piles of clean, folded clothes waiting around the house.

I’m not the best housekeeper in the world, but I improve on my natural tendency for slight slobbiness by having guests over. If friends are coming over for supper, I’ll go berserk and clean the house top to bottom. For that reason, I make it a point to have friends over for mini-dinner parties at least 2-3 times a month.

Blue skies…

I have thick hair, so my worst daily chore is reaching into the shower drain and pulling the mass of hair strands out of the dirty, soapy water. Just what you wanted to hear, right?

Ironing.

Which is why I don’t do it and go around all day a wrinkled mess.

litter box, I got myself some big black industrial rubber gloves to wear while doing it, I hope it helps

scrubbing the toilet, that darn hard water ring always looks bad even after using the pumice stone

cleaning the kitchen, I like the cooking, hate the cleaning

ironing, I always look wrinkled
