What is least favorite household chore?

[jkhanson]

Dusting is wrong. People dust too often. You should only do it when you can write a love-note to your spouse in the dust.  Do that a couple days, then consider dusting.  Under no circumstance will you dust every week.  Life is short. Don't waste it dusting.

I agree with your sentiment bremer51!  Life is short so don't waste it on some of the trivial things....yes, I dust and clean, but not fanatically!

I always liked the verse that included:

cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
But children grow up as I’ve learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep!
I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep.

I hate cleaning the bathroom. It never seems to clean enough or stay clean long enough.

I gotta be honest and say I don't like cleaning of any kind. But my least favorite cleaning of all has to be around the toilet and the base of the toilet. I find some satisfaction cleaning the mirrors and wiping the sinks clean, but I have to dig down deep to muster up enough willpower to clean around the toilet bowls! Wet antibacterial wipes make the whole experience a little more pleasant but the whole deep-down clean thing I really struggle with. I find myself sitting in the chair, watching tv and "willing" the bathroom to clean itself, which of course it never does.

Cleaning the bathroom is the least favorite of mine. But  really  I hate cleaning up after  my husband.  He is a slob and  I don't care how much I clean it always seems to be something. I can not wait to get rid of this old carpet . that will help with the dusting a lot. He just can not get it into his head about the carpet.  But you cn bet when it comes time to steam clean it he disappears. Oh well he does not get it clean any way. It is so old. As soon as the weather permits me to have the windows open I am going to figure out someway to start ripping it up. Once I get some of it done he will hopefully help with rest. Then again.

Cleaning the shower.  I have very hard water, and I even have to clean the the shower stall with a soapy pad like brillo.

Drives me nuts.

My least favorite chore is cleaning the toilet.

[marciaenglish]

I hate cleaning the whole bathroom; not just the toilet!  I find it disgusting!  I put it off as long as I can and clean the rest of the house first, but, it always seems to still be there waiting for me!

I thoroughly enjoy paying my bills each month.  I think dusting is on my "procrastination" list.

I'd have to agree with you. Dusting seems to never end. It's like as soon as I'm done, dust starts settling faster than ever. Having a dog makes things harder as well. If it's not dust, it's dog hair.

Yeah, i'm with everyone here, my least favorite would have to be the bathrooms (1 1/2). I pretty much made things a little better my buying a bluetooth speaker and playing whatever kind of music i was in the mood for at that moment. Usually, its going to be fast paced which will get me hyped up to finish the chore quicker.
Dusting...now thats not so much of a burden but as someone posted, it is annoying that you dust an area only to come back later to see a fine layer of dust. I own a townhouse with no central air so there is no filtration system to rely on to help capture dust particles. It was also built in the late 70's so there are some slight drafts from patio doors and so on. So i can see how dust just circulates around. The biggest dust attracter? My entertainment center but you cant avoid static attracting dust particles.

cleaning bathroom

I agree that the bathroom is my least favorite. It's dirty,  takes too long, I have to contort my body, and I have to get down on my knees, bend, and stoop to get it completely clean.

Funny you say that, i did a survey the other day which dealt with different styles of toilets. One design being the type that does not have the sides of the toilet exposed (you know the grooved out part that everyone has to "contort" their body to really get clean), i was real quick to choose that one as one i would gladly spend a little more to have for the convenience of saving my back.[/size]
