Least favourite household task...

[Badnewsoracle]

Mine has got to be anything food related - particularly meal planning, shopping and cooking. I despise it! I'm a good cook but my god do I hate it. Unfortunately DH also hates it as well and I find splitting it very difficult - if DH plans I have no idea what recipe he's using (I have all my recipes in my head) and if I plan, I also have to shop and then DH has no idea how to cook it unless I write it down or use a recipe book to plan and shop, which takes even longer!

All other jobs I'm fairly happy to do and get a sense of satisfaction from. But not the food shopping 🙄

What is yours and why? And any tips for making it more bearable?

It’s a toss up between ironing, bathroom cleaning and dusting. I have made ironing a bit better by doing it during the day instead of at night and listening to asmr in YouTube while I do it.

Ironing. Anything but ironing

Emptying the dishwasher! Hate it

I actually quite like laundry & cleaning !

Cleaning the bog 🤮

Gardening. I hate everything about it. I hate dragging out all the equipment, getting dirty hands, getting backache and above all else I find it laborious. Id gladly pay someone to do
it for me .

Putting washing away

Hanging out wet washing.

Washing and getting dry ddog beds and bedding. Needs a whirl in the dryer to remove millions of hair.... The cost!!

Putting away clothes. Horrendous. Hanging them up to dry isn’t great either. Hours of my life I’ll never get back 😫

Second place would go to cleaning bathrooms…

Cleaning windows as I am rubbish at it closely followed by cleaning the bathroom

Cleaning windows & putting away shopping.

I hate both. (Exterior windows are cleaned by a company but I hate doing interior windows)

I hate putting away the shopping. It takes me ages, ridiculously.

I love ironing. I just don't like the build up. I enjoy most cleaning actually, but not the fact that I often don't have enough time to do it.

I would say ironing, except that I never do it so I guess it doesn't count (no one in our house does it). So I'll go with dusting. I'd honestly rather clean the toilet.

Toilet cleaning is the worst. Scrubbing turds away whilst desperately avoiding the splash back? No thank you

I love hoovering-it improves not only the smell of the room, but also the aesthetic. Those fresh lines in the carpet are a beautiful thing!

This.

Hoovering. I have got a wonderful robot hoover but we've just moved and it's still a bit too chaotic to let him out

Everything. I despise every aspect of being an adult who has to maintain a home. I make it look clean- you see a bit you missed. I don't, it all looks grubby. I find no satisfaction in any household tasks!

Snap on the clean laundry. I don’t know what the mental block in my head is, I’m meticulously tidy at virtually everything else but will leave clothes to be folded and hung on the horse or bedroom chair for days before finally admitting defeat and getting on with it.

I also dislike washing dishes, ironing and cooking, but haven’t done a jot of all three since moving in with DP three years ago.

Going grocery shopping then putting it away afterwards. I'm not a huge fan of putting away laundry either, thankfully dc are old enough to do their own and I only have to do mine.

I quite like hanging out the washing on a bright breezy day.

Exactly this. I'm good at it, but hate it. There's not much a tumble dryer doesn't leave in a ready to wear state without the need for ironing.

Putting the food shop away because you have to clean out the fridge first and then empty bins etc. Second, I would say folding washing and putting it away.

I dislike all of it, but cleaning the bathroom is the worst.

Anything to do with food ... thinking about it, buying it, putting it away, getting it out again, cooking it. I would happily live on cereal.

Putting the washing away. Washing, drying, folding is all fine. I don't really mind putting underwear and socks away, or even tshirts. It's hanging up shirts and jackets and dresses that I hate.

And gardening. All of it.

Dishes 🤮

Cleaning a gas hob
