A question for the at-home moms...of the chores that fall to you to be done, which is your least favorite? I H8 doing laundry. It takes way too long. It's never really finished & done. And there's way too many "steps" to it; bring it downstairs, sort it all out, pre-treat, wash, dry, iron, fold, blah-blah-blah- it NEVER ends. I joke to myself that at least I don't have to take it down to the river & wash it with a couple rocks!

Oh the horror!!! I know exactly what you mean. I HATE laundry. I have to go to a laundromat. And I live on the second floor. No elevator. It is such a chore for me. It takes forever and you are absolutely right - it is never done. Never!! You are so right - I am just as happy that I don't have to beat my clothes on a rock!!

Oh dragging it all to a laundromat is awful. I've been there many times over the years. Alright I am grateful I don't have to take it down to the river AND I am grateful I don't have to trek to a laundromat.

I hae doing the dishes. Sicking my hands in dirty water, scrubbing food covered dishes, just ick ick ick.

Dish washing is one the few areas I am really wasteful & anti-environmental with. I don't soak my dishes except the occasional burnt pan. I wash with running water & a sponge. Probably wasting gallons & gallons of water everyday. But putting my hands in a gross sink and risking cutting my finger on a knife I don't know is under something, isn't worth it to me. I find the running water relaxing & peaceful. And at least with the dishes, there is a point where they are all done & that's it for the moment.

I'd trade washing dishes with doing laundry any day.I absolutely hate washing dishes and in my house if you set just one dish in the sink....it seems to multiply....lol
