question 29 ~ housework

What household jobs do you like and dislike the most?

I spent all of yesterday cleaning.  So this question is a good one.  I can't stand cleaning the bathroom!  My cat loves to lay in the bathtub (no water of coarse) and in the bathroom sink.  Trying to clean with hair all over the place is like trying to clean sand.  It's awful.  Even if he didn't get his hair everywhere I would still dislike cleaning the bathroom the most.  I also don't like doing the laundry, I think when we had our house and our own washer/dryer it wasn't as bad.  Now that I do my laundry in the apartment laundry room it's a chore.  I can't just throw a load in and forget about it... and then folding yuk.  I do like to vacuum... which is sort of an obsession with me. I vacuum twice a day.  I think I like it partly because it cuts off all the other outside noises.  I also love to cook and bake.  That has been therapy for me.  Stressed out got whip up some brownies.  I get up in the middle of the night and will make a pie, if I can't sleep or am worried. However, all the clean up afterwards is the downside.  If I only had someone to do the clean up I would cook all day :)

I love vaccuming, okay well not actual love, but it's not a hard task.  

I despise putting away dishes, putting away laundry, hanging curtains, washing silverware, making beds, cleaning the fridge, dusting, oh I could go on for hours...I won't even get started on the bathroom....

Journal is still private, but I will be sure to let you know when it's not!

I dislike dishes the most!!!!  One chore I don't mind is sweeping and mopping.  I liked the way the house smelled when I was done.  Sheila

I actually don't mind cleaning the rooms, you know, floors walls, tubs, etc. Nice to have a clean place to come home to.

Laundry, now there is the worst job I know. I used to deal with it by buying more clothes, LOL, but that's an expensive solution. Laundry, #1 on the hate list.

well i havent ironed anything since 1995!!!! so i guess that would be it- if the wrinkles dont come out in the dryer- than that is as good as it is gonna gets. as far as cleaning- dont kill me- i think it as a great stress reliever- and i do enjoy it- it is sometimes hard to get motivated to start, but i always have a great sense of accomplishment and pride when its done

I only like the first part of household cleaning.  I don't mind washing dishes but hate drying and putting away. Throwing clothes in the washer and dryer is fine.. but sometimes never get them out of the laundry basket. Grocercy shopping I manage to get done sporadically but hate putting the groceries away. Washing dishes is relaxing to me... so that would be my favorite.  I HATE dusting

I do enjoy cooking, which is something that I`m just really starting to discover. I can`t lie though, cleaning is a real motivational struggle, my wife keeps an immaculate house and I "try to keep up". I can`t stand a filthy house , but I do just wish I could pull a bewitched and make it be clean by wrinkling my nose!

I am learning to cook and bake, so I enjoy that. Having a dishwasher is great--no hand washing! Yay! And now that I have my own clothes washer and dryer, I don't mind doing laundry. (I absolutely HATED going to the laundromat!) I guess my least favorite chore is sweeping/mopping. I have hardwood floors, and no matter how often I sweep and mop, they are always covered with dog/cat fur, dirt, sand, and crumbs from my 3 year old's snacks...

I hate laundry, especially putting clothes away.  I'm having a real hard time coming up with housework I like, but the closest I can come to is ironing.  Which I never do..lol..

O' how that would be laundry!!!!!  I cannot, cannot stand it.  It is the worst chore ever.  I hate separating all the clothes, Spray & Washing the stains, folding, putting away, the whole damn lot.  I do have an obsession with vacuuming and windex???  Craziness. I polish my counters until they sparkle!!!! ha
