What is your favourite and least favourite household task/chore?

[Lsquiggles]

Lighthearted obviously!

I meal plan each week as my dp never has a preference and will eat anything so I get to eat whatever I fancy everyday

I would rather sell my first born than empty the dishwasher

If it doesn't survive the dishwasher then I don't need it

You are my people @Lsquiggles! DH keeps buying hand-wash stuff so I leave them for him in the sink

I love hoovering now I have a robot. I fucking hate meal planning and online food ordering.

Love hoovering and mopping the floors, hate ironing above all things.

I friggin hate folding washing out of the dryer!

I love bleaching the bath and giving it a good scrub

I love hoovering. I have a cordless Shark and it just makes the job so easy.

However I refuse to do washing up. I prefer cleaning toilets to washing up!

I love doing laundry. I have a laundry room, a tuble dryer etc. I do a few rotations whilst watching Downton or something.

I hate putting the laundry away. Easily ky least favourite task. It just piles up in irs clean little stacks in the laundry room till dh cracks and takes it away.

@clary I was shown it when I worked in a shop that had a section for throws (remember when they were a thing?!) and then a few years later I worked in a home furnishings department and found they did the same thing for towels. You can do it by laying the towel down and folding in 1/3s then over 1/2 but if you do it standing the motion involves flicking and tucking over. You end up with all the sides hidden and just a smooth outer. Sorry that’s an utterly crap description isn’t it

Love vacuuming, washing up and laundry.

Detest putting groceries away.

I have never thought of meal planning as a chore until I read your OP! I love doing that, and I don't mind cooking. I utterly detest all other household chores in every possible way.

I love hanging washing on the line.

You can jeep the rest!

Putting washing away. Argh!!! Pairing socks argh again

I fucking hate all housework and chores. I genuinely can't think of anything I like to do. Luckily I am married to a cleaner who loves to iron I don't actually do any housework apart from some laundry sometimes. I know how lucky I am.

I like picking cat hairs off the curtains one by one. Does that count?

I will have a go

I always hated vac'ing so bought a robot , jobs a gud un

I don't exactly enjoy meal planing but it saves my sanity when I am working 12 hr shifts.

I like making the bed and look forward to nice clean sheets that night.

Iron ? iron? what is this iron thing you speak of ?

Love vacuuming. Absolutely hate cooking

Changing the bin bags

Hoovering is quick and easy.

Hate changing bedlinen.

I love the process of doing the laundry. Dirty to clean, wet to dry, messy to tidy, begin again. So satisfying.
I hate hoovering, changing beds, anything disgusting like toilets.

Favourite chore - cooking, but only when DH is there to watch the kids so I can shut the kitchen door, put on a podcast and pour a glass of wine.

Most hated - vacuuming the stairs, such a hassle. Or emptying the bins. I refuse to do either of these.

I really enjoy ironing, mopping the floor and clean the windows and polishing and wiping surfaces.
All activities that allow me to zone out basically!
Not keen on the rest of it though; my particular pet peeve is after a whole house mammoth blitz - the little bits left! Always take the longest to find homes for the random objects, odd sock etc.
My very favourite bit is the window of maybe 30 minutes when you can sit down with a coffee and marvel at the sense of peace and calm. But then those untidy, messy people I made years ago come in and destroy it!

I regularly trade jobs with DH to get out of hoovering. Not sure why but I hate it - it's a joint worse chore for me, tying with cleaning the shower.

Favourite jobs are all laundry related - hanging clothes out to dry, folding them, pairing socks. No idea why but doing them makes me feel peaceful and like I'm an organised person

Putting away washing and making packed lunches. Love folding the clothes just can't bring myself to put it away

Actually, what we clearly need to do is get a system going whereby a Mumsnetter comes in and does the job you hate but they enjoy.
If possible you would be at their house doing the same but if it's not equal like that another Mumsnetter can do it while yet another one does the jobs she(or he) isn't keen on.
We just need to set up a database and a kitty for travel expenses.
Who's with me? 😁🤔

I hate the whole ruddy lot.

I can honestly say that I hate all household chores.
