What Chore do you hate enough you'd want someone else to do it ?

[Gary O']

I can’t stand for someone else to do my chores

I get too much pleasure out of ‘em

aaaaand, they won’t do them good enough

Funny thread. Anymore I hate mowing. Hired a mowing service this month. They send 4 guys. 2 on 360 degree mowers, one with a trimmer, and one with a blower. They are completely done in 20 minutes which takes me just over an hour and wears me out.
Oh I love it! They come tomorrow!

Also, I had a service that picked up my dress shirts on Friday’s and they were delivered on Mondays when I was working. Medium starch, perfectly pressed.

My husband has that service...thank the Lord, because up until a couple of years ago I had to iron all his shirts, (and I hate ironing) but now he has them sent out, and irons his own jeans.... result!!

Same here, only I had light starch on the shirts. I also had my ties, slacks and coats cleaned and pressed. Looking sharp and neatly pressed was always important to me.

My husband and I have a pretty good split on chores. He does the one I dislike the most - vacuuming. He also does whatever little ironing we need because he's much better at it.

Our gardener mows, edges, weeds, etc.

I'm not crazy about starting the dusting, but once I get going I don't mind. Dishes, cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms, and the rest of housework are just part of the normal rhythm of our household. No biggie.

I quite like doing laundry.

Seeker, you wash the walls? Wow!

My mother washed the walls, too back then.

I only spot-wash, dust them down once a year. I need another paint job very soon.

Mine did too but it skipped a generation!layful:nthego:

I have to go with dusting too, it's a never-ending job where I am, open space area behind me and dust and dirt fly all around on windy days. I would want weekly ceiling to floor dusting, furniture, ceiling fan, tops of woodwork over doorways, tops of doors, picture frames, upper corners of walls/ceilings, etc., etc.

Yes, I'd like that service, too! I do my dusting one thing at a time as I please and am often behind on it...

Irons jeans ? That has never happened in our house.

If I didn't have a dishwasher it would be washing dishes by hand.

So, I'll go with vacuuming.

I agree. I gave up ironing years ago. I told my husband he could either send his ironing out or do it himself.

I am going to show this thread to my wife. She has been thinking about letting the housekeeper go and do the housework herself so she has something to do now that she is retired.

She will deeply regret that decision!!!! Housework is no more fun just because you are retired.

 

[Furryanimal]

Definitely dish washing

I don't mean iron a Crease in them... I just mean getting out the general wrinkles after they've come out the dryer... ..they rarely don't have to be ironed at least a little bit...
