Which seemingly small chore do you find overwhelming

[JackThayer]

For me it's getting the bags in and sorted after work/school/nursery. My boot is full of stuff I need to get in and sort and it's such an annoying job I'm just sat here watching Alvin and the chipmunks instead. Doesn't help that it's my birthday and Easter so there's loads more stuff to take out and sort 😅

Putting away the washing although I have got a bit better. <looks at pile of jumpers next to my drawers>

Happy birthday @JackThayer

I thought it was two things but seeing a lot on here I agree with!

My original two:-

Cleaning the litter tray and hanging wet washing up to dry!

Putting away the food shopping, it just seems never ending

Time to delegate cleaning the shower screen to said teen and tween, I'd say! Might even make them more careful about mucking it up...

Sorting bloody socks!

Emptying the compost bin. It's twee and tiny and fills up fast. You have to run the gamut to the end of a muddy garden, possible dog poo if I havnt cleared it yet, to a slug infested dalek bin.
It's always bloody raining too.

So many things the main ones are

The school bag/stuff. My car is a tip.
Cleaning the fridge.
Putting washing away..

Emptying the dishwasher. I absolutely loathe that job! I delegate that and the bins to my husband.

Tidying things away. Especially things that don't belong to me or haven't got a designated place.

This is not a small chore!!

Mopping the floors.

The process of needing to pick up all the toys/blankets/coats/shoes (which obv happens every day), move the rugs, hoover and THEN mop just feels like one step too far. I pick up the floors and hoover every night, but I honestly can't remember the last time I managed to mop (DH does sometimes! Thank God!). If the house was less cluttered to begin with I think I'd find it easier to get to mopping, but there's just a never ending to-do list in order to get enough storage, organise things properly, cull and de-clutter, etc and it never gets done!

Hanging wet washing on the clothes airer.

I’d rather shit in my hands and clap than do that. It fills me with rage. why is it so fiddly?!

Ooh, I love untangling a knot!

I struggle with most housework tbh. It's just tedious and boring and needs doing again almost immediately.

I'm ok with laundry actually. Although not great at putting clean things away. Or putting anything away.

Laundry - putting it away & folding

Changing the bed I hate it 🙈

I put a few things away this evening and felt so proud of myself!

I hate it so much i have to talk myself through it with encouraging words about how lovely it will feel when I get into my fresh clean bed. I once timed how long it took me, approx 15 minutes because I kept pausing to be pissed off and sorry for myself!

Cleaning the windows on the inside, sorting magazines to throw in recycling and
cleaning the carpets in my car.

having read this thread I now realise that I hate all of it with a passion, it is so tedious, never ending and reptitious. I do like my home to be clean, tidy and organised and I have a routine but honestly, it looks ok for about half a day and then reverts back to its original state of scruffy and messy. I live alone these days so it is only me that makes the mess and unless I have people round it is only me that sees it. Tomorrow I have made a pact with myself to hoover and steam mop the back room and kitchen but I am already dreading it, it is just so bloody boring.

Cooking, i feel like I've been doing it for 150 years.

Yes, so true, doing the food shopping is bad enough without the added task of putting it all away, then it has to be turned into meals!

Washing up. Hate it and hate nagging the dc to do their bit.
Picking bits of rice off the floor
Cleaning ds18's room cos he thinks mess is funny
Changing the bog roll
Wiping surfaces for the 47th time in a day

Exactly the same. Laundry I can procrastinate over for literally weeks. Tend to be forced to clear the draining board a bit sooner but god I hate putting stuff away.

Cooking

I absolutely hate clearing the plug of any food waste after cooking/washing up. It's by far my biggest pet hate of grown up life!! I'll take any other chore over emptying the plug of soggy, mushy food!!!
