I saw this on another board and they had a lot of fun with it, so I'm putting it down here in the OT folder.

What are the chores you simply hate to do around your home? Do you leave your clothes in the dryer for days on end? And then fluff them only when you need them? Do you spray Pledge in the air to make it smell like you've been working hard all day?

Share your "dirty secrets" with us here!

I tend to hate housework at all!  My worst one is the kitchen and the bathroom, lol.  I have to admit I hate to do them.  I work 45 hours a week, go to school full-time, have 2 kids and a home to take care of so when I am home the last thing one my mind is cleaning the house!  I have a cleaning company come in once a month and do the deep cleaning so that I don't have to do it.  Its worth the $50.00 I pay them! 

I am a stickler on laundrey though, I hate to leave it sit in the dryer or in the basket once they come out.  They have to be taken out when they are done and folded and put away.  DH is not good about this........lol.

This is FUN!

Cleaning the bathroom,  I hate it!   Putting clothes away!  GRRRRR!!!!

No,  i cannot leave clothes in the dryer for day's on end i have a big family and if i did that,  my laundry would pile up for day's on end.  We  do 3 load's daily except for sunday,  we do 1.

Be careful where you spray that Pledge. I once had the 'genius' idea of using some when I dusted a ceiling fan, thinking it would repel dust a little bit longer. I got it all over my kitchen floor and I think each member of my family slipped and fell twice that week. I must have mopped it a dozen times before the slipperiness was finally gone!

The one chore I hate the most is dishes, yet I am irked by seeing a sink full of them or seeing them all over the counter or on the table. I don't have a dishwasher and I have a shallow sink. I keep a container of soapy water with a scrubby sponge on the edge of the sink and I don't even bother to fill the sink and soak anymore, I just wash all the dishes every time I walk through my kitchen and have a moment. I probably do dishes 19 times a day!

My kitchen serves as the entry way into my home. When I want unexpected guests to come, all I have to do is make some long, complicated, messy meal, leave the prep and the eating dishes sitting for a night, and VIOLA! In-laws who I see once a decade are drawn to my home like a cartoon mouse to Limburger cheese!

I am totally guilty of shoving bounce sheets in every nook and cranny so that everything smells great...LOL.  I also use a tonne of febreeze.  You should see my laundry room.  I have re-rinsed the same load of laundry twice because I forgot to change the laundry over, plus my work shirts are all still in the dryer.

Yet....I sit here...LOL
