Question What household chore do you try to avoid?
Its really a silly thing but I try to avoid emptying the dishwasher! I have no idea why its easy and doesn't require any energy, I just do not like doing it!

On the other hand I love to do yardwork!

Dusting and windows. Can't stand them, they are redundant and annoying.

I also hate to fold clothes but I have a very practical reason for this, if I fold them, the minute anyone else gets in a drawer to look for something they toss it all around and destroy my hard work so I just shove the stuff in the drawers now.

Re: What household chore do you try to avoid?
I hate putting away the clean laundry, but I am the only one does it. The kids will do the socks and under-clothes, but they have brain farts when it comes to hanging anything up (uhhh, include hubby in this as well.)

I also HATE dusting, I use a Swiffer a LOT, but even using the ole polish and cloth doesn't seem to keep things clean any longer.

I'm another one who hates dusting. I think it stems from my childhood. LOL My mother used to make me dust and she had a million "little" things. Drove me crazy!

DUSTING, DUSTING, and DUSTING. Although it's easier now that I have my FlyLady Feather Duster. But if it's been awhile since I've dusted, I have to use a dustrag, and I HATE THAT.

The other thing I hate to do is clean the tub. Yet, I insist on a spotless tub to bathe in at all times. Go figure.

Re: What household chore do you try to avoid?
Well, for the most part the only thing I REALLY can't stand is cleaning out the refridgerator. Others things that almost make it up to the top of the list are washing windows and mopping!

Re: What household chore do you try to avoid?
I don't exactly look forward to cleaning toilets, but at least it's quick. On the other hand, I hate vacuuming because it takes 45 minutes to get the whole house done.

I don't mind dusting like some of you do, except for my kids' room, because they have zillions of little things on every shelf that take a long time to dust.
