Chores! - What Do You Dislike?

Photobucket

I have another poll for you and there are some questions that gentlemen can answer as well.

Obviously I cannot list every single chore we have to do at various times so I have just come up with a general assortment.

It will be interesting to see which is the most disliked. Anyway, I hope you will enjoy taking part and you can pick more than one answer.

As for me it has to be washing up, cleaning the bathroom and ironing.

If you looked around my house, you would probably think I hated them all!

when I was younger I didn't really mind any of them...but now...just hard to make the body do as it should LOL...but we manage to stay a step or two ahead of the "health department"...so to speak!!!!!  hugs from Kentucky...Ora

I hate many so I could not choose just one!  The older I get, I'm looking to cut corners when cleaning and getting rid of things that exhaust too much of my time and getting on a ladder.  I recently changed my chandelier so I can just dust it with an extention wand style duster so I no longer have to get on a ladder and take each individual piece off to wash and put back on which was a 4 hour job!

I keep asking myself why I didn't do it 10 years ago!  I'm so happy now.

Hugs, Rose

Can I really only vote for one?    Well, in that case I am going to vote for changing the bed linen!  This is purely because I struggle to get the new quilt cover on and I usually have to do it on my own.  The worst bit then is the ironing of same.  No matter what I buy it never lives up to its reputation when it comes to ironing!.  I love ironing other items so can't vote laundry.  Am off to vote right now before I change my mind.  Eileen x

How about all of the above!  :)

OK Jeanette. I voted ironing, but it certainly isn't the only one I dislike. I think you pretty well covered the biggest part of them. I flat out refuse to iron anymore!! Windows??? No way as long as I can still see out. Now tell us what you dislike the most:).........alice

I really don't like to do any of them since my back has got so bad but I voted ironing and washing floors. Helen

I hate mopping the floors.

Ironing.....hands down! Plus, my Mother had to bring me up that everything looks a little better with a "touch up" of the iron, so I'm ALWAYS ironing, it seems!!! LOLOL!

Cute entry :)

There are some things on there that I just don't do.... weeding the garden, I don't have one = ).  Washing the car, I take it to get done, and ironing... if it has to be ironed, I don't buy it.... forget it!!!  LOL!!  And of course the only thing on this list that I enjoy doing is preparing veggies and cooking... the rest I tolerate... LOL!!

I won't do this poll because it's so hard & painful for me to do most of the ones listed, it wouldn't be fair.

Dusting & cleaning out my car put me off.  As far as my car is concerned, I can run it thru the carwash for the outside...but it's cleaning the inside that I dislike. And dusting...like why dust? It will just get dusty again in a couple days.  Linda in sweltering hot Washington state

I voted hon. Laundry is my least favorite of them all. The bathroom would be next...then again that's only when I've lived with a man (winks)...(Hugs)Indigo

Cooking, has to be cooking. I must be really weird it looks as if I am the only one who voted for that. Paula

I must be really weird because I LOVE ironing, it's the putting it away that I hate, mainly because I need more space in wardrobes, drawers etc. I am constantly going to the charity shop with things.  The other weird thing about me is that I have to do the ironing with bare feet!  I iron everything ( apart from underwear), towels, tea-towels, bedlinen - my daughters think I'm mad!  I even do some of their ironing for them!  Good poll Jeannette!, Love, Pat in rainy dismal Kent.

Most definately it has to be ironing...mind you I could have almost clicked on everything on your list !!!!  chores are just what the name implies CHORES  !!  dusting would come a good second  what is the sense I ask myslef moving it from one place to the other !!!   thankfully I have a sister who LOVES dusting etc etc and I just leave her to it when she comes over every Thursday !!!   Hope you have a good day. nice and sunny here at the moment...Love  sybil xxx

Like many others it has to be laundry and ironing, but my biggest dislike is having to put the shopping away when I get home from my weekly shop at the supermarket. Love Pat x

Cleaning the windows Jeannette I do hate that chore ~ Ally x

Anonymous said...

Jeannette I clicked on 3 - can we only have one?

I don't clean windows or dust very much, and glad to hear there are other 'sluts' like me lol ;-)
My chores are geared to my arthritic shoulders and how much pain I can endure!  I rarely iron anything - why spend ages ironing the bedsheets when they are going to get crumpled up straight away??

I ADORE my dishwasher and would loathe to have to wash up by hand :-(
I too have great difficulty changing the cover on my duvet, it takes me ages. So that would be rated as worst chore.

great poll Jeannette

Ps - I had to delete most of what I was going to say as it was taking up too much space, have decided to do an entry in my blog

on this subject as it has raised some interesting thoughts.

I don't like doing laundry.  What I really don't like, though is having to do dishes by hand.  Ugh.  Fun poll!  I am interested in seeing results.  I actually like to dust.  LOL  There is no other chore I like to do.  LOL  Hope you are having a nice weekend, honey.  Love, Val xox

I have to be honest I hate all housework....but the worst is cleaning the oven! Louise  xx

My poor car hardly ever gets cleaned.  It is a dirty job.  We have drive thru car washes,but that gets only the outside.  The inside is what doesn't get done.

I am not keen on any of the chores listed and if I can find something else to do instead I will! They say an immaculate house is the sign of a bored woman! ROFL Love B x

All of the above!!!  My husband and I work with couples and one of the things we do is have them do is play the Newly Wed game.  One of the questions is... which chore do you hate the most.   We both always answered the same way.  CLEANING.  ALL OF IT!  LOL
