What are your pet hates when doing chores around the house ?

Hate peeling potatoes but weirdly love grating cheese .

Hate when you take out the washing from the machine and find you've left a tissue in a pocket and it's all over the clothes ( is that my fault for not checking or theirs for leaving one in ?Hmm
Cleaning windows.

Cleaning skirting boards .

Taking out the rubbish

I'm sure I'll agree with a load of yours as well .

The weekly house clean. Detest it. Thankfully have a DH who handles it

I did and I resolved it - I used to hate ironing and now I don’t - instead use a vertical steamer - it’s quick and brilliant

Loading dishwasher and putting shopping away.

i actually hate tidying more. Toys, doom piles etc. I’m not very good at it - Marie Kondo was helpful but we’ve moved house in Jan and I’m still struggling with the new layout and a routine there. 3 levels and a split level bathroom where the washing machine is. I think I’m going to have to carry an Ikea bag around when it’s a big tidy and then redistribute everything. Any tips welcome!
