Name ONE Chore you would happily never do again

[Whoreandpeace]

I am fed up to the back teeth of cooking, or maybe I mean 'catering'. I'm fed up of thinking of meals, of doing a shopping list, buying the effing stuff, preparing it, dishing it up, clearing it away, wiping the bloody kitchen surfaces and then doing it all over again the next day. DH does some days but I'm just fed up with it generally. If it was just me and DH I wouldn't bother. Cottage cheese and tomato rolls every day for me, thank you very much. Name one household chore you would love NEVER to have to do again. Mine is

COOKING

motley, the inside out method just doesn't work here. I'm short, the duvet is a super king and there's no way I can shake it any way to do your simple method.

I hate washing up. 3 times a day at least every day. DH has washed up twice this week and both times he only did the easy stuff. So cutlery, plates, glasses. He left all pans/mixers/trays/roasting dishes and I had to do them anyway. And he looked at me like he wanted a pat on the head and a biscuit afterwards.

Agree that super king is a bit more of a trial!

I may be strange but I love doing laundry. Putting all those manky things in the washing machine only for them to come out later smelling all fresh, it's one of life's pleasures. I also love all the sorting into colour groups etc In fact I love all sorts of sorting and organising.

I like cooking OP! I quite like ironing too as in I am happy to see it done.

I am however not keen on cleaning the bathroom. We have 3 if you count the downstairs loo - and I need to as everyone uses it and some people don't aim very well

I timetable it in twice a week or I would avoid it totally. Done them all tonight

You kitchen floor haters need a steam mop. Done in 5 mins :)

I love sorting the laundry and putting it into the machine, and I don't mind hanging it out to dry - but I am in agreement with others who despise actually putting it all away again.

Same as OP. before I had DCs I didnt mind it too much, we'd decide what we wanted in the afternoon and pick it up on the way home. And throw a few more bits in on the way round.

Now, its a massive pita. I shop a week in advance, have to take into account who likes/dislikes whAt, remember to take the stuff out of the freezer, and the listen to them moaning about it. Clean it all up and start again. Hate hate hate it.

Mind you I don't like laundry much either.

When I win the lottery I'm moving into a hotel on my own

I love mopping all my floors thanks to my steam mop but I hate vacuuming the stairs, its the only carpet we have and it takes longer getting the vac out of the garage, setting it up and putting it away then it does to actually use it.

Meal prep... Planning, shopping, cooking, cleaning.... and then having to invite the 'dear family' to come and eat... I feel as though I am begging them to grace me with their presence at the table! I think the next time one of them says I don't like xyz they may have to wear it instead of eat it!

So that makes 18 complaints against cooking chores, 15 against laundry, 7 each for dishes, dusting, bathrooms and floors (3 mop & 4 hoover), and the rest are 5 oven, 4 housework, 4 duvet covers/beds, 3 each for ironing, windows and litter tray/poop duty, 2 each for putting away or filing/paperwork and one each for taxi, garden and fire chores...

Might I point out... that if we add the dishes and oven to a general kitchen tally it is 30... I suggest we all get out of the kitchen pronto! My wine is kept in another room anyway

Perhaps you need one of thise cordless ones life. Quite tempted myself because my hoover is ancient and weighs half a hundred weight

Ironing, making weekday dinners, emptying the dishwasher and changing the beds

When I was a kid my mother made me do all the ironing for all 6 of us, I have burn scars on my arms , when I started working I had to iron all my uniforms then office clothes , every morning after I had my shower I would iron that days dress or skirt and shirt, but that was the only ironing i did, seriously who the hell cares if you iron sheets, tea towels or undies? once I started my family and I was home all day the iron got relegated to the top shelf in the cupboard and only ever came out when I was sewing, I love the person that invented interlock cotton, she/he should get a nobel prize.I would rather eat worms than do ironing.

Found this on youtube. dead easy way of putting the duvet cover on.

Dusting.meh. what is the point ? Dust loves our old farm house it is a welcome guest.It harms no one. It is, as so many have already stated the relentless ness of it all. Hubby and children do help with lots of chores, logs ,hoovering ,laundry,tidying,cooking ...but dusting...I have to do it for safety, aeshetics and preserving my belongings, and it gives me the RAGE

Tidying up.

I am always tidying up. Picking things up, putting them away, reorganising the shelves, cupboards, drawers etc.

And yet everywhere around me is a total fucking mess. My desk at work, the kitchen table, the bedroom floor. How can I spend so much time putting things away and yet still live in such a mess?

Hanging the wet laundry over the clothes horse. Especially the socks. There is nothing worse than putting your hand inside a wet sock to turn it the right way, only to then discover that it was actually ALREADY the right way, and now you have to turn it back.

Hate it!

Used to hate hoovering but invested in a cordless really super light one and now I dont mind doing 5-10 minutes EVERY DAY!!
Love laundry if I can hang it on the line, but this time of year its a real bloody chore. Like a daily grind. Actually made me feel very bleak yesterday when I hung up a whole basket to dry then noticed the laundry basket was still bulging at the seams! Tempted to enforce a capsule wardrobe for whole family. ..

Laundry- the whole process. Gathering all the dirty, separating into piles, washing it (the easy but unless there are stains or knits) handing to dry or traipsing to the tumble dryer in garage, then adding it to the mahoosive ironing pile, then folding it and putting it all away.
I hate it all, it's never ending, and most of it is always left to me.

I never turn socks the right way out. I leave that to the owner of the socks.

I hate loo and bathroom cleaning. Three of us use them only I clean them. Not helped by the fact that our bathroom is very scruffy and we do not have any money to fix it up. Depressing to spend all that elbow grease and it doesn't look any better. But at least it's clean!

ONE chore I would happily never do again? Housework

Putting stuff away/in its rightful place - applies to laundry, shoes, food items, school bags, coats, grocery shopping unpacking etc.

Eat sleep put away repeat

Deal with bins after the foxes have attacked them.

The Oven! I have a strong dislike for it, and as its one of those range double oven ones it takes forever to clean (well its an overnight rinse and half a morning good scrub job) ugh ugh ugh. (And when you clean the oven you then have yo clean the floor mehhh)

All of them!

Except possibly the cooking and the laundry (though some other sucker can do the ironing - I am on an ironing-break as I type).

If I had to choose one, it would be cleaning bathrooms. Bloody hate it, esp bog and shower glass. And getting limescale off the tiles. And limescale off the taps. and DD's hair out of the shower trap. And the dust off the heated towel rails.

Don't count the garden as a chore. It can be a pita, but it is at least more creative than clearing up everyone else's mess, and more rewarding than cooking a meal only to have half the family mutter, 'Don't like it...'

Dishwasher. Pisses me off as always one who does it.

Trying to get a worming tablet down a cat.
