    I'm a freak and just got excited our riding lawnmower broke and I got to mow our over half acre with the push. I also love shoveling snow, and pretty much any yard work. I love cleaning bathrooms too.

    However, I hate cooking, doing dishes, and folding laundry, and grocery shopping. In fact, my husband is out doing that right now. I should have been a man. What do you like/hate to do?

    I think I'm the opposite of you @Rosie08.  I've never touched a lawnmower and hate shoveling snow.  I don't mind doing laundry; it's about the only time I can watch what I want on tv without interruptions.  Trips to the grocery store are as exciting as my life gets, so I don't mind that either.  It's putting everything away that sucks!  I hate dusting and vacuuming.  And cleaning the fish tank!  :-&

    I love baking/cooking - especially recipe development. I also like organizing/reorganizing.

    I used to love cleaning. But doing it for over 5 year solely has broke me a bit. I like my house and I'll still do it but it's not as fun as it used to be.

    Yeah, I know how you feel @onmylastnerve. My ex husband never cleaned, never picked up. It made me hate everything, and I'm a neat person. I'm really lucky now, because my husband is the total opposite. Sometimes he does the dishes for me before he goes to work because he knows how much I dislike it. Makes a world of difference.

    I really really love cleaning the bathroom. It's a bit mental.

    I love mopping my kitchen floor by hand. I'm a freak of nature.
    Get me a damn beer.

    Like @Rosie08 I love doing yard work, really enjoy physical labor. As soon as it snows I'm out shoveling our steps( we only have a little because we live on an acreage and SO cleans our driveway with the skid steer.

    Also hate all the inside chores, but don't mind dusting I guess

    I love all inside chores except cleaning closets, folding socks and putting freshly washed sheets back on beds. Everything else is cool. I enjoy making things look clean and sparkly. But I have mini panic attacks when I have to go out in public, like to grocery shop...i get palpitations and I break out into a very embarrasing, very heavy cold sweat all over my face and chest.

    I like grocery shopping, as long as the kids get to stay home with daddy! If I have to bring them, then I hate it. I don't like it at all when SO does the shopping, bc he's not at all good at saving money, won't watch the sales or use coupon's. I don't like putting the groceries away though. And I don't mind doing laundry, but again putting it away, not so much.

    I love cooking and baking so much I probably don't even think of them as chores. I've recently started enjoying doing the dishes and don't use the dishwasher near as often as I used to. I think the only reason I like it though is because I've realized that since everyone else hates it so much, if I do it they leave me alone and don't dare come bugging for stuff because I'll make them help. And they're so grateful, they act like I've given them a kidney or something. I also like vaccuming, likely because I only have carpet in 2 rooms.
    Most of all, I like cleaning really really dirty things. The greasier and grimier the better!

    I like cleaning grimy, filthy things too,
    @demanda. I don't think I'll ever love cooking or dishes. I've tried. Baking, I go through phases, but I'm just not domestic. My house is clean though, because I'm ocd, hah, and can't stand clutter. I'd just much rather be outside doing physical labor. I feel like I'm accomplishing something, whereas housework feels endless.

    I hate HATE clutter, so I love weeding through mail and papers and sorting. Don't mind cooking or dishes, but I can't stand the rest. Laundry is my nemesis.

    I love doing laundry and dishes.... Its my Zen time. I can turn my brain off and go on auto pilot. I spend that time thinking (snort) deep thoughts.....

    I love cooking and baking. I also love grocery shopping and running errands as long as I get to go alone! If I have to take the kids then it's torture!

    I don't mind washing and folding laundry but I hate putting it away! Probably because I have to trip over shit in the kids rooms to get to the closets and dressers...

    I love cleaning out closets, sorting, getting rid of old stuff, organizing what ill keep, making room for new.

    My favorite thing to do is unpack and put stuff away when I move. I know, most people hate moving but I love it! I'd move every year or 2 if I could...lol.

    I dont mind washing dishes, but I hate putting them away. Same with laundry. I do like working in the garden when it isn't 9 million degrees outside. I like to get rid of stuff and reorganize, but my pack rat family thwarts me.
    i'm nekkid.

    Well I'm moving in about 2 weeks. Get your tush down here and HELP ME! I hate packing so much. And unpacking even more.

    I don't mind dishes but I hate bathrooms, and my laundry can go fuck itself!
