I love to bake/cook and iron and housework is ok but I hate to empty the diswasher. Don't know why.

What job in house do you hate to do?

Hi cmama!

I love to do laundry and don't mind ironing/mending.

Don't mind doing dishes and cooking 1-pot meals. Don't like to bake.

Like to orgainze and light clean, but hate the sweeper.

Would rather let most things wait than have someone help with anything.

In saying that: there are some days nothing gets done and I hope that no one comes to the door for a visit...LOL!

cmama: I was also a dishwasher unloader hater...that is until I timed myself one day. It took me just over 3 minutes, so then I decided it wasn't such a horrible task after all!

I really hate changing the bedsheets! Especially if I'm doing all 5 beds on the same day.

Impatiens: Do I hate them or do they hate me?

We plant impatiens every year in the same spot in built in flower boxes. Every year the plants do very well and get nice and full and healthy. But it seems like every year about mid august you will see a plant or two start to wilt or die. Then within a few weeks or so it spreads thur the whole area and all the plants are wilted up and sick looking. We usually pull up the plants before summer ends because they look so bad. Any ideas whats going on

Our decorator uses thick felt pads she gets from somewhere in California. Much better than the foam pads and doesn't leave a residue on the wood floors. Also gives a nice cushion.

Spray faucets. What do you have and why do you love (or hate) it?
Q
Comments (40)
I've had my Kohler Clairette for at least 10 years (kept it when I renovated my kitchen because I liked it so well) and I've never had a problem with functionality or finish. The spray stays on until I switch it to stream (and vice versa) with a little toggle button. It would bug me to have to hold a button to keep the spray on, or if it reset when I turn off the water. I don't have a problem with it not going back in place. However, if you pull down the sprayer/head and just leave it, it will dangle; it doesn't retract on its own. But the magnet is strong enough to hold it in place once the head is back near the starting point. (My BF leaves it dangling sometimes just to annoy me.) <<(after I wrote that I realized that sounds kinda dirty, but I'm talking about the faucet!) FWIW I got mine from Kohler. I've read that the big box stores might sell the same brands but lesser quality - not sure how that works but just saying. ETA: do you have a Pirch, Kohlers showroom, or similar store near you that has faucets hooked up to water sources? That might help make a decision. My mom bought a Grohe years ago that she replaced after just a couple months because the sprayer didn't stay on without holding the button. Had she been able to test it she would have known and never purchased it. It was a $500+ faucet that the store wouldn't let her return.

OMG...and it gets worse...Fenton I hate that job trying to figure out what to cook...matter of fact I'm not fond of cooking either. I'm fairly good at **down home * cooking like comfort foods but I'm not an imaginary cook. On top of that my family is sick to death of pasta so that's removed from the list for a few months. I'm pretty good at baking but don't care to do it although I try to bake treats once a week at least and than of course there's my bread baking.....I've always baked my own bread every other day than I found a small family owned bakery that makes it and does not add the nasty stuff and preservativies 1$ a loaf ...but I'm back to baking my own 3 times a week..sometimes I wish I could just buy store bread but once the boys really wanted the store sliced bread..Wonder I think it was...I knew what would happen and it did all the boys could taste was preservitives they hated it. Thing about homemade bread is its only good for 24 hours tops..mold will grow quickly. Ok I'm off the chatterbox band wagon....for now.

Scrubbing bathrooms is icky! I don't mind unloading the dishwasher since it's quick and makes me feel accomplished, but HATE putting away clean clothes. I would leave them folded in the basket forever if I could!

Once a week I get out a ladder & water geraniums, that are up high. In the summer they live on the decks. I'm afraid of banging wood furniture or water staining when I water plants!

I dislike cleaning the tub and shower. Cleaning the toilet is the quickest, easiest job. I also dislike loading the dishwasher. I love to bake and don't mind cooking.

I hate laundry. To me it is the most thankless job ever! I get all the laundry done on the weekends and to me there is no greater sense of accomplishment than when I go in to the bathroom and the laundry baskets are empty. I love it. As soon as I get all the laundry done and we get ready for bed all of our dirty clothes go in the laundry baskets and I have to start all over.

Ironing, emptying the DW, vacuuming, dusting, cleaning the bathroom.

Oops, guess that's pretty much everything. ;)

Mopping or vacuuming they hurt my back so badly. That is why I love my Roomba and wish I had the Scooba for the mopping.

I absolutely hate all of it. I don't do any of it anymore since I have someone come in and clean once a week. Best money I ever spent.

I HATE unloading the dishwasher, even though it's the easiest job to do. Not sure why I find it so annoying. Since its just DH and myself, thankfully I don't have to unload daily like I did when the kids were home. I also hate unloading the groceries. Hmmmmm....I'm sensing a pattern here!

I'm with LesterD....I hate putting the groceries away...we live in a loooong house...the kitchen is in the middle and I run myself to death between the kitchen where the bags are piled, the freezer in the garage, and the bathrooms/closets where the paper goods are stowed...yikes :^)

I don't do dishes have my husband for that since he refuses to get a dishwasher. I really hate to iron as that was my Saturday job as a kid, with 10 in the family that was most times at least 2 baskets full.

Do you remember the pop bottle with a thingie on top to sprinkle the clothes? Then would roll them up & place back in basket until ready to iron.
