    I really need to get of here and get to cleaning since I have company coming over later, I just can't seem I find the will to go! Gahhhh I hate dishes, and folding laundry. I will scrub toilets and mop floors on my hands and knees if I just didn't have to do those :-((
    I prefer not to think before speaking. I like being just as surprised as everyone else by what comes out of my mouth.

    I hate vacuuming. I like having clean carpets, but not having to drag that thing out all the damn time. I swear, I have to do it at least twice a day. Fucking shedding dog and messy-ass kids.

    I hate putting clean dishes away, folding laundry, dusting, tedious things like that. But the thing I avoid most is vaccuuming because I have really bad OCD and I can't vaccuum unless I move all the furniture and use all the attachments.

    I will do anything, except yardwork.  Works out perfectly because my husband loves yardwork but absolutely refuses to clean the bathroom.  Damn fool man does complain if the kid makes a mess on the toilet though.  Calls me to clean it up.  Anything to avoid pulling weeds I say.

    Imperfect and proud of it.

    I hate them all!!!! I don't get ANY pleasure from cleaning, but I do it because when it's at least tidy I feel less anxious. Since I hate them all, I just try to go about it mindlessly. It's got to be done, you know?

    But if I really had to pick one, it would be picking up all the various pieces of garbage the kids didn't put in the garbage can. My GOD that drives me fucking crazy.

    I love cleaning! Weird, I know! If I had the energy I would do it every day if I had the energy! That's my problem and why my house is always messy.... Not dirty.... Just messy.

    But if I had to choose, I would say putting laundry away

    I HATE cleaning the bathroom and scrubbing the kitchen floor with a passion. I will do laundry, vacuum and clean the kitchen any day. I have begged my husband to hire someone to clean the bathrooms and scrub the kitcvhen floor for me. Of course we have 3 bathrooms in our house. Everyone is forbidden from using 1 so I never have to clean it.  I also refuse to clean my kids bathroom unless we have company. That is their job. Teenagers are disgusting.

    @monkeynmoo Hi!! I'm still around when I can be, but since January, school has really been kicking my ass. I'm going to summer semester, too, and it's even more intense!! I could only afford to pay for three classes (thank God. It's the same workload as regular semesters, but compressed into fewer weeks), so next semester I've got to take FIVE classes to finish by Spring! I still read a lot of the threads, but I don't have as much time or energy for commenting. Plus the kids' laptop broke, so they're on mine a lot. Commenting from my phone is just a PITA. But it's nice to feel missed! <3

    I hear you @unknown1! The bathrooms are by far my most hated chore. The boys have their own which only gets cleaned when company is expected. It's also the main bathroom. Lol. But DH and I have our ensuite that only we use so if it's not spotless for company, who cares cuz they are not using it!

    I had hired someone to clean them ... $45 eow. It was worth it cuz I could spot clean in between, but they really didn't do a fabulous job and now they have other jobs anyway. Need to find someone else.

    And ironing is a total pita, so I try to do it just once a month (DH's work shirts).

    all of them....and it is a major issue in our house lol
    Husband: I go to work so I think I should be able to come home and relax
    Me: Yes I completely agree but would it kill you to help me?
    Husband:Would it kill you to go to work for me? You help spend the money while I do all the work. How is that fair?
    Me: You help enjoy a clean house so its only fair that I get to help you spend your money.....


    When I  get rich I am going to hire someone to do all that shit for me. And I will pay the bitch goooood to do it lol

    I really despise picking up everyone else's shit, and cleaning up after someone else has made food (especially nasty meat, because I won't even eat it!). I don't mind doing the actual cleaning. But it makes me resentful when I have to follow my SO around picking up his dirty work socks. I've tried bitching at him, discussing it calmly, even tried just pretending they aren't there (they sat there piling up for days on end).

    Laundry. DH does 95% of the laundry. He is def a keeper. I hate mopping the floors...he does that, too.

    Dishes by hand sucks. That was a chore we had growing up, despite owning a dishwasher. Its not my favorite thing to do to load and unload the dishwasher, but I'll take that over hand washing the dishes any day.

    I don't mind mowing the lawn, but we have a tiny yard at our townhouse. Our old house in NJ was a 100x100 lot and a bitch to mow.

    Dusting. And cleaning the TV room. There is so much de-cluttering and moving and shifting to be done to clean that room that it's literally an 8-hour job. And it's overdue. Fuck me.

    I hate laundry. It's an all day chore. Doing the dishes takes like 15 minutes and your done. Laundry just goes on and on...every 25 minutes all damn day till its done.

    I don't really hate anything, actually. It's all rather tedious, but nothing worth hating over. When you've had to clean industrial kitchens and seating areas every day, cleaning and tidying a house is nothing. And folding laundry is a chill out time, although I make my kids put theirs away at least.

    Um. Yes. All of that. DH is just as bad as the kids about the garbage. Maybe worse because he has a tendency to "shoot" things into the garbage can like it's a fucking basketball so all the garbage juice sprays all over the wall behind the can. Asshole. I have to wipe that wall down at least twice a week. It's so far beyond disgusting!

    The only chore I really avoid is laundry. Fuck. Laundry.

    LOL!!  This is totally me!  Everytime I vacuum it turns into an hours long thing which is crazy because I live in a trailer!  I move all the furniture and toys and go along the edges with the attachments..  Oh and my vacuum is a POS and can't hold rocks after turning off so they fall out when I move it and I have to go back, pick them up, and vacuum that spot again.  I can't vacuum any other way, so I avoid doing it more than once a week.  Golly, is it a good workout though.. haha  It's the same way with dusting; I have to take everything off the shelf, clean those things, then clean the shelf, then rearrange it all JUST right..

    folding/putting away laundry, dusting, washing dishes, litter box, picking up after the children (have begun threatening to take toys away), changing sheets, cleaning bathroom, oh let's face it I hate them all. However, I do like when they are done and progress is made and the house is clean - but I haven't seen that in 9.5 years (about the time I moved in with DH)

    I hate putting laundry away and putting away the dishes.  I don't mind folding the clothes or washing the dishes but I just can't stand putting them away.  Every now and then my husband will put the dishes away for me but never the clothes and the girls are still too little to put them away themselves.

    Cleaning the blinds, and trash. I hate going to the dump. 
    “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”

    I try to stay out of the kids' play room if possible... sometimes their toys tend to commit suicide and jump right into the trash can. Weird, right? 
    I am with a lot of mommas, and hate empyting the dishwasher, and putting away the piles of folded laundry.
