You load sixteen tons and what do you get?

You load sixteen tons and what do you get

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I won't pretend I'm good at housekeeping of any kind. You lot that can keep things immaculate are awesome super heroes to me. :stunned: :worshippy:

That said, there are some chores I would take over others. Fill or empty the dishwasher? Yep, I'll take that. I eat a different diet than anyone else in the house, so I have to make every one of my own meals. I don't mind doing so either. Laundry isn't too bad for me. But everyone has to do their own folding. :nod:

It's general decluttering and scrubbing things that I dislike most. :bolt: :freak: My instant gratification monkey makes sure I stay in the Dark Playground instead of getting things done. Bad monkey! (Google that if you want to know more. It's called "Why Procrastinators Procrastinate.")

Also, any of you immaculate folks want to earn a few ponies? C'mon over and help me clean. :lol:

I HATE dishes, I only selected cooking food as a second because it makes dirty dishes!!

I will eat cereal  from a measuring cup to avoid washing a dish.....

Scrubbing the floor, mainly. Yard work is fine unless you want me to weed. :nope:

I absolutely cannot stand folding laundry (or putting it away :P ) so the majority of my wardrobe is hung up in the closet XD I also hate cleaning the bathroom but I think that stems from having to do it every single saturday when I was a kid. Oh and any yardwork besides mowing, YUCK!

Dusting and cleaning the bathroom.  Dusting aggravates my allergies and bathrooms, no matter how clean they are, are gross and I wish they would clean themselves.

Washing dishes really grosses me out for some reason and vacuuming is a huge workout man. It looks easy but that stuff is way hard, I was sweating.
I have no problem picking up after my dog, probably because I'm usually the one to walk him so I'm used to it.

Dish washing is my arch nemesis!  I am sooooo glad I have a dishwasher machine in this house!  Most other things I am fine with, and I think my faves are cleaning the bathroom and yardwork.

Dishes, no. Dusting, never. Decluttering takes me hours each week, yuck. Ok, I do EVERYTHING around the house whether I like it or not.

Like vacuuming the floor, hate vacuuming the furniture! Most of these I can find at least marginal enjoyment in (like taking in the starry night when taking the trash out!)

My most hated chore is "other:" raking the stones out of the grass so Dad can start mowing the lawn again. They get there from snowblowing the driveway, and raking them is almost exactly as efficient as just picking them out with your fingers.
I'll put something here some time

I really can't stand to vacuum. I hate the sound of it.

I kinda like to declutter though. I just don't do it often enough. But when I do...... I'm really in the mood for it.

I'm really not a fan of any housework, haha, which is my my house is never as clean as it could be.  I think the lady we bought it from would be aghast if she saw it today...dust everywhere, short red dog hair all over the floor, dirty dishes piled in the sink, lawn mowed sporadically, so many boxes from all the stuff I buy online, shoved in the storage area and spilling into other places....   :blush:  Whenever we have company I basically go into ultra cleaning mode, because day-to-day most of it just doesn't get done.

My most despised chores are cleaning the bathroom and doing yard work.  Both are a pain in the butt. 

My least despised chore is laundry...set it and forget it! ;)  As long as I don't forget it for *too* long!
