For me, cooking. So sick of it and would be happy if I never had to do it again

I've given up hoovering, my husbands taken over that. I'd like to give up cleaning the bathroom /toilet. It stays clean for about 5 minutes.

Love my robot vacuum and mop. Honestly, he is wonderful and I think I love him 💕.

Get a good one though - it needs to be able to map the house so you can tell it which rooms to clean.

I have the Roborock S5Max - brilliant machine!

We don't have a dog but toddler DS2 chases it on his sit on car :)

It makes quite a noise so mostly we don't hang out in the room when it's on. If we do we are just on our computers with headphones anyway.

Yes, cooking. If I won the lottery I would have a private chef.

Food shopping

ChequerBoard I looked on that website and they've got a robot window cleaner too Shock expensive though.Wonder if you can use it on the shower screen? Also didn't realise you can get robot mops as well

Life admin. I hate it - I'd rather clean and cook.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 22/05/2021 19:22

repeating myself/reminding people of things roughly a gazillion times/day. especially when it's something they should know already.

it's worse than any household chore.

Hawkins001 · 22/05/2021 19:27

Sleeping, yes some times it's nice, but I can sleep when I pass, rather than wasting hours just zzzzzzzz

Changing the bedding!

Veryverycalmnow · 22/05/2021 19:32

Hoovering the stairs.

SpeckledyHen · 22/05/2021 19:33

Changing the beds . Bloody hate it .

The cat litter

Tidying. Much as I say I do, I don't actually mind cleaning. It's all the fucking crap around the house. If the place was magically tidy all the time then the cleaning but would be a doddle.

schnubbins · 23/05/2021 14:39

The Laundry from start to finish. It takes up more of my time than any other household chore and never ever stops.

IhaveMyMoments · 23/05/2021 15:18

Making packed lunches.. I hate it!!

Waxonwaxoff0 · 23/05/2021 15:36

Cleaning the bathroom. Hate it. I love cooking, don't mind washing and ironing, don't mind hoovering. I just hate scrubbing tiles and the shower screen.
