What is the worst chore you have in your house that you have to do?
Mine would be dishes and bathrooms.
You?
Dishwashing, without a doubt
ironing;I hang about 50% of the laundry to dry so no wrinkles.
Bpt- why did you change your name? Doesn’t look good t all 🙁
Chores?
1. Ironing
2. Ironing
3. Ironing
4. Ironing
5. Folding laundry
I am with you Eclipse, I hate to iron. Also not so thrilled cleaning the kitchen.
Unpacking a case of chicken and putting them in individual bags.
resetting the land mines before i leave the house such a pain!!!
Bezalel,ever open the freezer and almost get killed by those frozen missiles?
I don’t get cases anymore!
Eating up the leftovers. It’s a dirty job, but SOMEONE’S gotta do it!
Yogi- I buy wrinkle free too. But it doesn’t mean anything. For some reason I think they meant to say that the wrinkles you buy for free….;)
My stoves!!! I hate doing the ovens even though theyre self-cleaning! Theres still so much scrubbing to do!
Smartcookie- I am echoing you exactly! Ironing and laundry is what I hate!
Can someone please invent self- folding laundry?!
The worst chore in my house is unpacking the frozen groceries into the stuffed freezer. its like a quick slam dunk situation:) (“Vi hameivin yaven especially bezalel)
Defrosting an ice freezer is on my list of ‘chores to aviod doing for as long as possible’ right after cleaning ovens!
yogi, you really should do the dishes in the kitchen , it would be easier on your back.
the bathtub is way too low down
For me it’s tackling the smelly, gooey pile in my sink after Shabbos. I’ve started a collection of “happy aprons”, yellow with pink ruffles, blue chintz waterproof, quilted provencal print… They look a bit uncerimonious,but very effective in keeping my mood up.
Good thing none of you work in the medical field. I’m not even going to talk about that. When I was in Yeshiva, almost everyone had chores. My two worst was cleaning giant pots that I couldn’t even get my hands into after they were used on Shabbos. I couldn’t even begin to get off all that stuff that was baked on.
The second was collecting all the plates (they weren’t throw aways) after a few hours after supper. The whole dining room smelled from the food left on the plates already. I had to dump the leftovers on all the plates in the trash and put the dishes in a large bucket/basket.
folding/putting away laundry.
filing bills and bank statements.
Kitchen cleanup. But I guess that would fall into the dishwashing category.
Re leftovers, just because its not a fresh cooked meal, no one else needs to know that. For most chicken and meat, you can add some veggies/rice/potatoes/sauce (tomato sauce from a jar is good but probably most sauces would work) and turn it into a completely “new” dish.
it might seem strsnge- but i enjoy folding clothing. it gives a certain pleasure, time for thought, same goes for dishes. (as long as its my dishes and not some yeshiva cholent pot!!) lol
LOL smartcookie: wrinkles you buy for free
Atara Malach says your pots will never be cleaner than the way you’ll scrub them when you are upset about something! A healthy way to channel your adrenalin!(not exact quote)
1. Dishes.
2. Putting away laundry. I don’t mind folding it, but distributing it to the various closets is what I despise.
3. Windows.
4. Ironing. I have an iron just for show.
They have a thing that you put the clothing on top of it and close it up and it folds the laundry. For me, taking all the cold stuff (shirts, pants, stuff that don’t go into dryer) and hanging it all up is the worst chore!
Supervising the live-in
Back in my kibbutz days (a looooong time ago) I used to get the glorious job, every few weeks, of cleaning the chulent pot on Motzai Shabbat.
Now you have to understand that this was a chulent pot unlike yours or mine. It held enough chulent for about 500 people.
It was truly big enough to climb into. It was mounted on a stand with a wheel on the side (like in a submarine) that you would turn to tip it.
I would have to use a big paint scraper to scrape off the burned-on chulent. As great as chulent smells when it’s fresh, that’s how bad it smells when it’s burned on to the walls of the pot on motzai Shabbat.
I miss Israel. I miss the kibbutz. I do NOT miss that job!
unpacking groceries is the worst chore by far. My parents go suparmarket shopping once a week and when they come home there is 300 dollars worth of groceries to unpack
Bubby’s parents…kinayna hara!!
@watermelon I heard that at one of her lectures and everytime I’m annoyed I start cleaning and think of her. Better to take out my aggrivation on my walls then on pple. but I still hate doing laundry. everything about it. The up and down to the machines, the folding, the ironing….but it’s gotta get done.
em yirtzah hashem by you
mchemtob-guess I’m lucky it’s all on same floor.Laundry folding is good for listening to music/shiur or calling back the friend who needs more time.
For me, ( a guy) I get a certain sipuk nefesh while sweeping the floor, and I don’t like to be disturbed while sweeping.
I’m with chayav inish livisumay! I hate unloading and putting away the groceries.
1. laundry.
2. laundry.
3. laundry.
4. laundry.
And oh, did I mention laundry
I don’t mind doing laundry, dishes, or putting away groceries (or vacuuming, sweeping, etc) but it seems like an odd occupation for a guy (similar to babysitting which for some reason is a “girls job”) (unless it is for someone I know then I don’t feel odd doing it-hey for all you here who don’t like these chores why don’t I come and do them for you? I’ll give you a special CR discount 😀 )
folding laundry is by far the worst – then comes ironing but we usually send e/th to the cleaners b”h.
taking out the garbage also ranks pretty high-bad on my list
Yogibooboo: so then how is it a chore you hate? You don’t do it 😀 😛
