Re: What household chore do you dislike most?
I'm changing my answer. XD
Cleaning the bathroom is rapidly becoming one of the banes of my existence. This also includes the litter box which is in the bathroom. Makes sense to have all the toilets in one place, after all. It's gross, it requires multiple different cleaners and it tends to take a long time to do a satisfactory job, especially if I include the shower. (Odd that a shower of all places gets quite dirty if left unchecked.)
I do feel (no pun intended) much cleaner after I do it, though. And yes I always wash my hands after cleaning anything, especially the cat box.

Re: What household chore do you dislike most?
I picked mowing the lawn because we owned 5 acres, and it had about 7 or 8 70 foot pine trees. So first i had to walk around every tree and pick up every pine cone so it didn't mess up the mower (each tree had about 200 pine cones)! Then i had to rake the pine needles so it wouldn't kill the grass, and so my dad could burn them. After that he let me use a push mower to do half the yard which literally took 12-14 hours to complete! So I truly despise mowing now!! :lol: (We also had a pond, which was a bitch to mow around!)
Re: What household chore do you dislike most?
Dishes. I don't like doing these when my parents don't rinse the plates first >>;;
Cleaning the kitchen in general. The floor and the stove are a pain.
Cleaning the bathroom is just nasty. I don't mind cleaning the tub but I'm too young to be scrubbing toilets me thinks.
Cleaning up after my pet. I got a kitten a little bit ago and he poos all over the place. I keep trying to get him to go in the litter box but he won't listen to me =(
Re: What household chore do you dislike most?
Going a bit off topic here but I think I can offer some advice about your kitten, Howl.
First, how old was he when you got him? Most kittens should not be separated from their mothers until around 12 weeks old. His mother should have taught him how to use a litter box before you got him. If he was younger than that chances are you will have to teach him yourself.
Second, when he does his business outside the box, do you use an enzymatic cleaner? You can clean it as much as you want but unless you use an enzyme cleaner, he will be able to smell the spots where he went before (especially if he peed there as well) and will begin associating those spots as places to 'go'. Cats are creatures of habit first and foremost. Your local pet store should carry cleaners specifically for this purpose.
ETA: Also, under no circumstances should you "punish" him when you catch him doing his business outside the box. It sounds like he hasn't been taught properly so scolding him or whatever will do you no good and only traumatize the little guy.
ETA2: Forgot the most important thing, lol. Have you brought him to the vet to rule out any health problems that may be contributing to his bad box habits?

Re: What household chore do you dislike most?
I don't care about chores. Dishes take 5 minutes to do, I clean my bathroom once a week because I don't want a dirty bathroom. I clean my room when needed. Not a big deal.
Re: What household chore do you dislike most?
My friend gave him to me after her cat had kittens. I think he is long over a month old his is still kind of fuzzy though. I don't really scrub with anything beside soapy water and I don't punish him. If I catch him peeing somewhere I try to pick him up and run him to the litter box so he can finish. My mom says he will learn after a while. >>;;
Re: What household chore do you dislike most?
Vaccum shits me. The most monotonous and physically exerting job (apart from mowing the lawn). I never get asked to mow the lawn, so I will go with Vacuum. I do all those other jobs, and with an Ipod, they are all tolerable.
Re: What household chore do you dislike most?
I said dishes. In my house, dishes have been my chore since I was 8. 10 years of doing dishes everyday gets you. Actually, I should be doing them right now...
Re: What household chore do you dislike most?
My guy is a total clean freak and is OCD when it comes to it. He does all the cleaning as he's convinced that I will not do a good enough job.
TOTALLY fine by me. :woot:
Re: What household chore do you dislike most?
My favorite chore is the dishes. My least favorite chore is cleaning the bathroom and cleaning up after my brother. >_>;
And no, I don't think of knives when I'm cleaning the dishes.... I swear.
Re: What household chore do you dislike most?
I would have to sat the bathrom is one of the worst, no matter how many times I go over it, it never seems to look clean, it just looks like im spreading mess around, plus the bathroom looks a bit cluttered because I got soooo many girl bath stuff and there is no space for it so the clutter kinda adds to the mess, hate the kitchen too, I dunno why tho, my kitchen is rather small so shouldnt taje me too long to do, but I have a terribble habbit of letting stuff build up throughout the day then wen it come to tidy up in the evening I just don't wanna do it cos there is so much to do.
Re: What household chore do you dislike most?
Dusting. Especially when you have as much crap lying around as I do. :lol:
Nothing else is that big a drama for me.
Re: What household chore do you dislike most?
Well.. I'm the lazy-lil princess.. When I was just a kid, I love doing all the household chores. But I became a lazy one as I grow up. Never enter the kitchen to cook, never make the bed.. Sometimes I clean my room, but I give the rest to my housekeeper..
I HATE mopping floor :(
Re: What household chore do you dislike most?
We have a pretty small kitchen area and it gets extremely messy very quickly. I've always hated cleaning the kitchen, and the bed room. We decided to make the basement our bedroom, seeing as it's the biggest room in the house, and all the other ones are a little to small. So the combination of Cleaning the Bed room and kitchen really pisses me off.
Re: What household chore do you dislike most?
Honestly I hate cleaning in general, get the house all clean and then spend all day keeping it that way. Then I wake up the next day and it looks like ww3 just went though my house...
