    What is your least favorite chore?
    I know all of you out there have to have at least one chore that you absolutely hate doing. Whether you are a stay at home housewife/mom/househusband/dad (I'm a stay at home-er, chores and kids pretty much revolve around my day) , or are a working male or female, there has got to be a chore you dread. What is your least favorite?

    Mine would be laundry. I hate laundry, I don't know why, I just do. :p

    Other honorable mentions are vacuuming and dishes.. lol.

    **EDIT** - Ahh, I forgot about the teens. Is there anything your parents make you do for a chore that you cannot stand?

    I hate dishes. I think it was all those years living in an apartment without a dish washer. Now it takes so much for me to even just turn on the dishwasher let alone unload it.

    Ugh and vacuuming. I hate to vacuum. It's so loud.

    However I love doing laundry. I think its because I used to set up a reward system with myself all those years of going to the laundromat. Only at the laundromat could I read trashy gossip mags and eat a Dunkin Donuts breakfast sandwich and latte.

    Oooh that sounds good. I think I hate doing laundry because my husband has about two closets worth of clothes. He's like a woman. He'll try something on and not like it, and rather than hang that thing back up he throws it in the floor. Then he'll repeat that process about two more times. :p

    I've never had a dishwasher and don't mind doing dishes. I like doing the laundry too and later smelling the clean clothes just out of the dryer. (My cats hope I leave the full basket unattended so they can pile onto the soft, warm tangle.)

    I would say I hate dusting. It's the last thing one is supposed to do after vacuuming, etc. and by that time, I'm too tired to care.

    Dusting doesn't really bother me. I got one of those Swiffer dusters and it makes the job a lot easier ;)

    I love the Swiffer duster. I used to hate dusting until those came out. I'm like that woman on the commercial who is going crazy and just dusting everything in arm's reach.

    I hated it all from normal chores like a sink full of dishes and pealing potatoes to washing and ironing soldier hubbies uniform and kit. Then someone gave me a tip that worked wonders. Plan your day… make a list of what needs to be done and then put a day and time by it. Check your list every evening and make up your mind to take care of whatever is on it the next day. In a sense you are giving yourself the heads-up and also the chance to get your head around what needs to be done. It works like magic.

    I hate folding laundry, doing dishes and mowing the lawn. Everything else is not to bad. Few more years and my son can start doing some of this stuff for an allowance.

    Ohh yes my mom always said the reason she had us was to do the stuff she didn't want to do.. lol. I hate mowing the lawn too, I forgot about that since I have lived in an apartment. My mom always sent me out to do it at like 3 p.m. when it was the hottest outside.
