What is/are the household chore(s) that you dislike? For me what I dislike the most is cleaning the toilet. It is really tough to scrub. Im glad that our toilet bowl is now colored green, it's used to be colored white. I hate ironing too. That's why most of the clothes that I bought doesn't need to be ironed.

Household chores are tiresome indeed. We have been fortunate in Kenya to have two maids full-time and as such we escape most of the daily chores. I hate washing clothes and ironing them, back-breaking work!! Thanks to wrinkle-free garments I am safe!! I do love to clean my wardrobe and arrange my clothes myself as I do not like anyone else touching and disturbing my clothes. The same goes true for my bookshelf.

You are indeed lucky to have two hired help working full time with you because doing household chores is not really easy =) I've noticed that most of us here are not really fond of ironing clothes =) Thanks for your response dianiraj!

Sadly, I have experienced these things on my work. I learned and was aware of cleaing the toilet when I used to work on food chains, I realized that I didn't experience these chores doing in our home. I do hate it, but there's nothing I can do since it's part of the job!;) But one thing I truly hate or don't like doing at home is, washing the plates. I don't know, maybe I just don't like the feeling of grease in my hands!;)

It is hard cleaning the toilet but I'm sure you had a good time working in food chains. Working in that environment is physically tiring but also rewarding, I had my fun days too in food chains. I actually like washing the dishes, but not too much of it of course ... LOL ... Thanks again for dropping by =)

I honestly don't know much chores but, those that I do know would be okay until I do them too long, that's when I tend to think that I don't like doing them at all. I really need to learn how to iron clothes. (^_^")

I guess if you learn too much, it would be a bad thing...? Still, it would be nice to at least have basic knowledge about things that you can do, especially when now one is there to do it for you.

Hello brew2x. The household chore that I hate the most is also ironing. I hate it because after ironing my clothes, I still find it wrinkled and I have to do it over again. Grr.

It is really hard. I have an aunt who loves ironing, I don't know what is fun with that. Thanks for your response.

Unlike you, I like cleaning the toilet. Before my mother hired a maid for us, I used to clean it. I like keeping it clean primarily because it's the place where we keep ourselves clean and just the thought of having an unclean bathroom disgusts me. The chore I hate most is cleaning my dog's crate. I bought a box of rubber gloves just for that task but I still hate doing it.

Hi dianne17k! I think there are just few people like you who actually like cleaning the toilet, but you are right it is the place where we keep ourselves clean and we should maintain it's cleanliness at all times. Thanks for posting! =)

I think we do things that we don't like cause nobody else would do it. They hate it as much as we do ... LOL ... That seems like a good strategy, doing what you don't like first and doing what you enjoy the most last. Thanks for your reply!

The household chore I hate is vacuum. I hate cleaning the floor too. I agree with you that cleaning the toilet is not a pleasant housework. I like ironing.

I HATE dusting more than anything. I just can't stand it. I dislike having to move everything around to dust. I also dispise cleaning the bathroom. The whole bathroom in general. There is no pleasant part of bathroom cleaning. I'm not a fan of cleaning in general I guess.:P I don't mind laundry at least.

I don't like dusting too, I'm allergic to dust and if I inhaled a lot next thing I know I'm having my asthma attack. I also like doing the laundry and washing the dishes =)

Hi hopejordan! Thanks for the tips, it would be useful for someone like me who hates ironing ... LOL ... Fabric softener would also help not to wrinkle the clothes. It is nice of you to drop by on my discussion. Take care!

I hate to fold and put clothes away. It seems there is never enough room to put away all the clean clothes. I also don't like cleaning the bathtub it hurts my back to lean over for that long.

It is really hard to clean the bathtub cause it is pretty big and of course you need to scrub it thoroughly. Especially if it is colored white, you have to make it sparkling clean =) Thanks for your response luvstochat!
