Re: Your most hated household chore.

I voted others.

I am not allowed to do household chores as my wife loves doing all of them and says it helps her to concentrate on what she wants to do the rest of the day.

I hate washing the car so I get it valetted.
I hate cutting the hedge so I have a gardener who does that ( Birthday present 10years ago from my lovely wife ).
Otherwise nothing else bothers me except whenI hear GB's voice.

I hate cleaning my parrots cages - they take forever and a day! Then it's their toys to take down and wash - ugh!! So that's my "other" that I voted! I didn't notice it was a multiple choice! I hate housework!!

Re: Your most hated household chore.

I haven`t checked one because I find that housework is always there tomorrow. So we have an occasional blitz and ignore it the rest of the time.
When I was first married my mother in law came round and pointed out the dust. So I got the hoover out and handed it to her.

LOL, Claire, brilliant solution! I tend to the "ignore it, it will be there tomorrow" school of thought also!

Re: Your most hated household chore.

I can change a duvet cover-but I draw the line at ironing fitted sheets.

We are making cut backs while Jenny is unable to work but we can still find a few pounds to pay a very nice young lady to do the bulk of the ironing when it comes to bedding
