Same here! I can't really explain it, but washing the dishes is the worst job. Maybe because one has to do it whereas other chores can be postponed.

@LovingMyBabies believe it or not that was always my favorite chore every night. I would was and my sister would dry. Even after we had a dishwasher, I liked to hand wash them. I guess you could say I am a weird one.

I don't/won't: Clean windows Run the Vac clean the toilets My husband does those jobs (thank goodness) The only thing you will find in our home that is 'out of place' is yellow dog hair - that's impossible to avoid.

@ramapo17 He also does the outside cooking (grilling) and I do the side dishes, so we share cooking plus he clears the table and I do the clean-up (only because I prefer to do that part)

@AbbyGreenhill My husband does the outside grilling too. I don't touch that. Anything he wants to do I encourage. I am no dummy.

@AbbyGreenhill Wow, you are lucky your husband does all that. My present husband, for the last 38 years, does all the cooking, but that has been since the last 12 years. He doesn't clean, he will pick up here and there. My first husband use to clean but never cooked anything.

I'd have to say cleaning out the pig house. Glad I've never done it. Pigs are STINKY. I just did the dishes this morning. No problem. I love vacuuming (almost too much. People worry about me.). I love watering my plants. Cleaning a horse's hooves can be stinky, but it's loving. Checking the oil in my car is fun. Changing spark plugs I don't do any more. Let me think some more.

@TheHorse I don't consider those to be household chores. To me they are like real work and I am glad I didn't have to do any of those.

@ramapo17 Isn't vacuuming a household chore? One that's a little cumbersome for me is cleaning the bathtub, since I don't do it as often as I should.

No, I'm the same way, but rather like my maid to do the brunt of it.

We had a housekeeper when I was a kid. But I've never had one. Maybe I should rethink that.

No, I don't think so. I hate chores, all of them. My excuse and one I'm trying to rectify now, is that my mother didn't work, and she didn't clean, that was our job. She waited for us to come home from school and then get all the chores done she could have done during the day. It really put my off chores, so my house wasn't neat. And then I realized I turned into my mother and I'm doing my best right now to become neat so I am not embarrassed by anyone coming into my home. I think that's why too I felt I deserved the kind of house I bought and the shape it's in.

@ramapo17 Watched soaps. We also got ourselves off to school as she always slept in. No, she wasn't a great mother. And now I'm doing my best not to be like that. I'm hoping to change my bad housekeeping ways. I am improving.

You are right as cleaning big glass doors or windows can be quite challenging. I always so one side up and down and the other side sideways as it is easy to spot where I missed.

I don't like the dishes. I'll do them, but it's not something that I enjoy doing. Cleaning the toilets is something else I don't enjoy doing. Otherwise, I don't mind doing chores too much. It's not my favourite thing to do, but I don't mind it too much either.

My grandmother was like that. She likes doing all the chores and she never complained about it. She told us she likes it when she's doing something. I, on the other hand, has never done those chores at home. Our parents raised us with maids to do everything in the house. We don't even wash our underwear. I tried doing household chores except cooking when i lived in Bangkok for a short period of time. I didn't enjoy it one bit and it was a struggle. I eat at a restaurant everyday for 6 months.

I think the chore I hate the most is dusting. I am allergic to dust, and it bothers me to dust. My husband used to help me with the dusting, but he has developed an allergy for it as well. I have to try to keep his allergies down as much as possible, because he has COPD bad. I wished my husband had better lungs, but that is not the case anymore.

I hate cleaning the toilets, the thought of putting my head to near makes me sick. Thankfully my hubby doesn't mind cleaning them. I also don't like cleaning the refrigerator hubby does that as well. We are both retired.
