Laundry, Ironing, Cleaning, Shopping, Cooking, Gardening... Which domestic job do you hate the most?

Answer 1

Strange as it may seem I enjoy them all, particularly ironing, I find it very relaxing. I am a 51 year old male & have 2 sons, 21 & 22, living at home, I do all the washing, ironing & cooking for them. The reason for this is that my wife died last year & I do all of this to try to maintain her very high standards, I think our boys have enough to cope with without worrying about household chores.
Is that strange??

Answer 2

I hate grocery shopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When my husband and I first got married, I was looking forward to doing the shopping. You know, being able to shop for your own house for the first time. Well, the first time I did, I went over seven dollars, and I bowored the money from my sister-in-law. No problem I said, I will give it to you when I get home. Well my husband bitched about it, but gave her the money.

Well, the second time I went shopping I went over again. This time instead of getting the money from his sister again, I took out the beer, and a couple of other items. This time he was really po'ed about it. So I said I would never do the shopping again. To this day I don't do it. I drive him to the store, and he goes and get's the groceries. I just walk around the store and pick up things I want. He doesn't drive, you see, so in away I still go to the store, but I don't do the shopping. We have now been married for thirty five years, and I still won't do it. If I have to pick up some stuff I do, but for the full blown shopping, he does it.

I love cleaning my house, and I do mow the lawn, but my husband also does the gardening. He planted some tomatoes, and cucumbers, and some squash. About three years ago he planted some strawberries, and I will pick those, but he does the rest.
He is now disabled. He had a knee replacement surgery done last year, and then about two months after that he had another surgery done on his eyes. He went blind in his left eye. He can see some now, but it won't be back to what it used to be. So now I also take care of him. He can not bend over from the waist for the rest of his life, because of his eye. So I have to be like a drill sergant. Then the day before father's day he broke his foot. So he is just an accident waiting to happen.
Even though all of this has happened to him, he helps around the house. He will do dishes, clean up some, and he does his own laundry, which he has done for years. He also cooks supper.
But for the major cleaning of the house, he trys to help, but I like having the house smell clean, and I have a habit of moving everything when I clean. I rearanged a lot. But at least I know it's clean. I don't iron much, unless I have to. I try to fold everything as soon as it comes out of the drier. If I hang things out, I alos fold them right from the line, and if something needs to be ironed, then I do it, but cleaning is what I like best and grocery shopping is the worst.
I know I rambled on, sorry about that, but had to get the story out, and tell you why. You were looking for short answers, but I like to talk. Thanks for asking this question, and you have a great night.

Answer 4

Almost all of them. I have a lady who cleans for me. No, I am not a lazy tart, I need the cleaning done, and she needs the money. I like gardening, I do that myself, and shopping, and cooking, especially when my friends come for dinner. I do the laundry and only iron things when I need them.
