What is the one thing you dread doing around the house?
For me, there are actually 2: I hate unloading the dishwasher and the dryer. Both take minuscule amounts of time but I'll put it off and put it off until my sink is full of dishes and I'm grabbing clothes out of the dryer.
I'd even take cleaning toilets over those two things!

All of it?  We now have someone come and clean once a month and dh also does a good bit. So the only thing I have to do that I really hate is washing dishes/loading the dishwasher. Drying and putting away? Fine. But I hate dealing with old dried on food, or soaking pots etc. Gag. ETA until dh took it over and then the cleaning lady it was cleaning the shower/tub. |

Everything. Seriously. I hate all housework. I have a cleaning person now and that is awesome! I also live alone now and no longer have any pets ... that makes a world of difference! Changing my bedding is now the bane of my existence ... especially the duvet cover!  |

I really need to see if my budget can afford a cleaning person. I really don't like to do much of it, but I like how it looks after so it might be worth looking into.

Cleaning out the refrigerator. My family members are really, really gross about refrigerator maintenance.

Dusting….it takes longer to take items off the surface and put them back again than the actual dusting of the surface.

Sweeping and mopping. I don't mind vacuuming though. Then dusting.

Cleaning the toilets and bathtub.
Dh now cleans all the toilets weekly and I got a scrub brush that has an extendable arm to help in the tub.

Though it's mostly dd and she has finally improved. |

Dumping the cat(s) out of my lap to get started. They are so comfortable and sweet in my lap, but once I get up they don't come back. The cleaning lady comes and does the bathroom stuff, the kitchen stuff is easy as it is just me and likewise for the rest.

I live alone now so the only chores I have are laundering underclothes, towels and bedding, and making my bed. I don't like making my bed and changing my bedding.
I guess it's kinda good to have something to whine about.

Scrubbing the shower, because I don't have elbow grease and just cannot do it.
My favorite is probably cleaning the kitchen and then dusting.

I have always hated to dust. I think it may be because it was one of my chores when I was a kid. My mom had tons of little knick knack things all over the house, and when I dusted, I had to take them all off, dust them, then put them back in the exact spot. LOL
Now, I use a Swifter duster most of the time and only take things off and really dust using Pledge a couple of times a year.

Dusting.
Dust one day, and the dust is back a day or two or three later.

Cooking. I hate it.
I don't mind cleaning, laundry, vacuuming, dusting ..... but the one thing I wish I had is a personal chef.

Putting things away. Laundry especially, and groceries after shopping. Left to my own devices I'd probably dress myself from the clean clothes that are in the basket after I emptied the dryer.  |

Mopping.... cause two minutes after mopping our drooling Saint Bernard is either drooling all over it immediately. If it isn't the drool it's the hair.
