To all the ones who hate washing dishes: Get a dishwasher?!

I do and don't mind doing nearly everything except ironing. I have ruined one of my mum's dresses as a small kid, when I wanted to surprise her and make her happy, and since then I'm afraid of doing it. I do the vacuum cleaning and cooking and all that, but ironing is something my woman has to do!

My mom gave my sisters and me ironing lessons when we were kids. We started with my dad's handkerchiefs when we were about seven years old. When we could iron those perfectly (not easy because hankies tend to be off-grain), we graduated to pillowcases (more difficult because you have to get two layers of fabric perfectly smooth at the same time). After that, she taught us how to do clothing.

I'm glad I can iron well because I also sew. A good press is the difference between a garment that looks professionally made and one that looks homemade.

I don't mind ironing. In fact, sometimes I enjoy it, very therapeutic.

What I hate is hand washing dishes and dusting. It's so much easier to run the dishwasher, but if you have only a few dishes, as I do, running the dishwasher is wasteful. Dusting entails moving shit out of the way; that's what I hate. Oh, another one is those damn venetian blinds or miniblinds. Washing those mofos is the pits! Oh, and washing windows is not something I enjoy either.

Now, here's one I bet no one has a problem with--refilling the damn ice trays. I HATE THAT SHIT!! I can't seem to get the tray back in the freezer without spilling half the fuckin water out the trays. I'm just a spaz, I guess. Next time I buy a "box," I'm gonna get one of those that makes ice.

That is the worst thing, for me. I hate picking shit up. And if I'm doing a play, I can go for a couple weeks doing the following: Dress and pack up stuff for work. Go to work. Come home, drop work stuff and change into rehearsal clothes. Come home, drop rehearsal stuff and clothes, put on pajamas. Get up, drop pajamas, dress in different work clothes. Come home, drop work clothes and change into rehearsal clothes. Repeat for two weeks.

My place is cluttered as hell. And my bedroom looks like a bomb went off in my closet.

We must be related...

I don't mind ironing, but beyond t-shirts, some shirts and some shorts I'm pretty much useless, so my wife does most of it.

I clean and tidy, and fix stuff. I never wash clothes or dishes, and rarely cook. I know what I'm good at and what I'm not.

I hate dust.

Ironing is the only household "chore" that I hate. I must do it, though

I love to wash the dishes with some music, I love cooking and I don't mind cleaning tha house, but ironing??? ugh

If I could avoid doing any chores I would! but I would much rather iron than do those things you love to do

But music does make doing chores a million times better for me you're right.

i am not good at ironing, thank God my husband is, so he irons everything when it's needed. i'm good with a steam iron however.

i hate cleaning the bathrooms the most.

I had a guy friend who loved to wash dishes. Mofo would get upset if someone messed with his dirty dishes!

That's funny! My husband puts all his dirty dishes in the sink or on the counter. He can't make it the one foot to the dishwasher!

unless you cook, you (and other husbands I know of) come home with loads of stuff that you can't make a meal with

That's why, if my mom sends my dad to the store, she gives him a carefully crafted list and says, "I don't care if you buy other things, too - but you must bring home everything on this list. No substitutions! "

I get that assignment also.

I don't know how to iron.

The secret to easy ironing is a GOOD heavy iron with steam... Not some cheapy little walmart iron... Its one of those investments that pays off in the long run

Yup, that's the ticket! You ever go to those home shows where they have all these different vendors selling all kinds of stuff for the home? I went to one about 4-5 years ago where this woman was demonstrating this kick-ass steam iron. It would iron through 4 layers of denim, like a pair a heavy jeans, with one pass on one side. Then she picked the iron up and touched it to a balloon, and the thing didn't burst! It was freakin amazing. I wanted that iron so badly, but I didn't want to pay $250 for an iron.

I'm getting better with ironing, it's cleaning mirrors I hate. they always end up looking dirtier than they were.

I don't like to iron, this is why I had a professional grade steamer for 15 years. The cotton and linen fabrics I own don't need to be "crisp"... I prefer them to hang with that natural nap.

On jeans, I fold them fresh out the dryer and I NEVER have to iron any heavy cotton fabrics.

Only thing I iron is men's dress shirts and my dressier blouses that are cotton only.

I hate washing dishes too, that's why I buy the more expensive Oil of Olay infused Dawn/or the clear Palmolive and soak dishes so cleaning is a breeze.

I also like rubbing lavender oil on my hands right after I wash dishes, my hands feel so nice after.

But making my damnned bed .... I hate it! I only make my bed when I change my sheets, I do that bi-weekly. Its hard when you are huffing and puffing just from making a bed. WTH? I feel old when I make my bed.
