I actually enjoy cooking and baking, and now that I am recently married and have the latest and greatest kitchen toys it is quite fun. BUT I don't like cleaning -- vacuuming to be specific, or the floors in general. Or just cleaning...I spent the better part of last Saturday cleaning, and it seems as soon as you clean lo and behold the dirt reappears. Trader Joes is great though -- I like purchasing their Flyer highlighted wine for 4.99 and having my haughty, tautly French husband drink it and have the satisfaction of having him enjoy it :) BTW thanks for the book - and the congratulations message with it!!
Fortunately, the chores I hate the most I can't do anymore due to illness. But I think the one thing I despise the most is laundry. Just the fact that it is never ending. As soon as I finish the final load, someone comes out with another basket to be done.
Unless it's towels...somehow doing towels is theraputic:-) I know, I'm weird.
ok so i HATE doing the dishes. whenever i get married i must find a man who will do the dishes and clean the kitchen for me. the funny thing is that i LOVE a clean kitchen. i just dont like cleaning it! at all!
right now, any cleaning is something i despise. i feel live i've been doing it for years!!! I somehow got lice from one of my students or from somewhere so I'm constantly vacuuming and doing laundry and bleaching everything in sight! UGH! Will this ever end???????????
I don't like ironing. When I have to do it I usually put a movie on. Though to avoid ironing I usually hang my clothes so they don't need ironing or I mainly wear clothes that don't need ironing.
Putting the clean laundry away.
I don't mind switching it around to the washer and dryer, but when it comes time to fold and hang everything... I don't think I ever have it all done at once. There's always a pile that still needs put away. And it's just the two of us, so it's not like I can blame a bunch of kids.
I think cleaning a bathroom ranks up there. I don't mind most of the cleaning chores. I feel a sense of satisfaction when I can see what I have done. The bathroom just never seems to end. Maybe I have a germ phobia so I feel like it is constantly dirty and needs cleaned.
I often wonder about cleaning in general. It all just gets dirty again! I often reward myself with getting something done then I can read a chapter in a book. Otherwise, I'd rather read.
As far as ironing, I solved that one with Downy Wrinkle Free. Maybe more expensive than ironing but it is worth it to me! :)
Annie-I don't envy you at all. I sent a student home last week with lice. I work VERY closely with this student. I itched all day! I itch each time I think about it. I have heard all that you have to do to clean and that would not make me happy. A colleague asked if we got workmens comp if we got it. :)
Toilets--I hate. Cleaning. Toilets.
That said, I can't really think of a chore I enjoy, and like you, cooking is not my gig. Especially since the kids are hungry at least three times a day ;)
I hate cooking the most. Maybe it's just the deciding WHAT to cook. I'm a klutz too, always dropping and breaking things. Or laying a pot holder on a burner. LOL
Cooking. Definitely cooking. Plus I have a finicky husband so that doesn't help bc if I serve something new he eyes it like I accidentally dumped poison into it. I'm not so clutzy as I am just dumb. Like setting a hot pot on the floor when I couldn't find free counter space and melting the linoleum... yeah ... Pizza Hut anyone?
Oh my gosh, none of us are going to want to do anything today because don't you cringe when you read the others also? LOL
The worst thing about laundry is IF you have the satisfaction of seeing EVERYTHING done, your husband will throw a dirty towel in the bin, just to show you, it will never end. GRRRRR!
I don't like grocery shopping. If I'm in the store more than 30 minutes, I start to get antsy.
Sorry about your finger Kristin :)
Maybe i should show this post to my wife so she can see that with a little planning the meals can be cooked every day "maybe i should apply it as well "...lol :D
I don't have a problem with cooking, I can't. I do a good job with one dish though (cereal). Microwaves are great 5 minutes and almost any TV dinner is ready to eat. Doing laundry is not a problem, it is only a problem if she expects it to be sorted first. It all has to be washed. As long as the house is cleaner then the garage and basement and you don;t have to move something to set down or find the remote control that isn't a problem either.
Funny thing is for me, I used to love to cook when all the kids were still at home. Now? I hate it. How do I make it tolerable? Eat out. :D
Alex, if you want to keep all YOUR fingers, I suggest you not give your wife any helpful hints. We don't take them well.
Pam, I hate grocery shopping too, but it was easier when I knew what I was after instead of roaming the aisle lost. I also have to shop in smaller stores because I get overwhelmed. Funny how I don't have that problem in Nordstrom's. It must be the piano music. LOL
I hate ironing.
These days I generally buy clothes that don't need ironing and I only iron my hankies when there's none left in the draw.
I got sick of doing dishes when I worked in a cafe one summer.
Come to think of it, there isn't any form of housework that I actually like. I tell my self that it is a good work out, but that doesn't mean I follow through. Thankfully I live with my parents and don't have to do it all myself.
