I shall quickly tell you how I obtained my first dishwasher, when my daughter was born, hubby and son used to do the dishes, I made dinner of course, well when bubs came along, she was a very active young baby, and never slept much, hence daddy was very tired, and the dishes were getting left until next day, not a sight I enjoyed very much, and I Let him know, so guess what arrived not long afterwards , our first dishwasher, we have just replaced it with a new one, and believe me it was only a matter of days before it was ordered and back in the house, funny thing my daughter had never washed or dried a dish until that time, and she really did not know how.

We even had to re-model our kitchen and make it larger for the dishwasher, but its worth its weight in gold.

I've always hated vacuuming. I think it started when I was a latch-key kid with my Mom and every few days one of my chores was vacuuming before she got home from work. The vacuum we had was a cheapy, but most of all LOUD. I've always been senstive to loud noises, and this thing was just awful. Anyway, while I was running it and the motor was screaming so loud, I kept getting the feeling all the time that someone was coming up behind me. After awhile I kept imagining I suddenly would feel the vibration of a foot scuff on the floor behind me or something. The house would be so quiet and me there by myself, and when I turned that shrieking vacuum on I just about freaked out and I couldnt' get it out of my head that anyone could break in while I was running it and I'd never hear a thing until they were there. Once I got this in my head I was just always terrified to run that thing.

Oddly, I don't think I ever talked to my Mom about this. I think if she had known I felt that way and was having that much fear, she would have just let me wait to run it until she was home. But I was embarrassed of my fear and it is something that held onto me even into my late teens.

I don't have that fearful feeling anymore, but my hatred for the chore and the noise of it (even though it's less than it was with that old vacuum), stays with me even now. I feel my tension level just rise when that motor comes on and vacuuming begins, either by myself or by David. I guess once one has a frightening experience with something, it just always creates a bad feeling with whatever is associated with it.

I don't really like folding laundry either, it's time consuming and when you are done there is no real visible reward for the effort put into it. When I mop a floor or clean up the kitchen, there is the visual reward of it looking nice and clean afterwards.

I don't really have a 'least' favourite houshold duty, I detest them all equally. They are never done, whichever one you choose, are they? Tommorrow, the next day, or real soon for sure, has to be done again!

I don't mind dusting except I never do it. I never think about it. We got a new vacuume, which it is pretty quiet for a vacuume, I still will not use it very often. I don't mind doing dishs, or laundry. I don't iron, I don't know where hubby put the ironing board, and I refuse to take out trash. As a kid my brother always had to take out the trash. If the trash was overflowing, and I would take the trash bag out and replace it I got yelled at for it by my dad. His thing was I was a girl so I shouldn't have to do it. So to this day I will not take a bag of trash down to the dumpster. I will take the bag out of the trash can now, and I leave it by the door for hubby to take down.

I also have a dishwasher in my apartment, which it works but it leaks all over the floor. So we don't use it for anything except to store dirty dishes when company comes over.

I don't always fold laundry, I have no problem running down to the first floor to throw it in and come back up stairs, then go back down. I just don't fold it right away sometimes not at all. My husbands work shirts as soon as I take them out of the laundry basket they get hung up on the coat rack.

i like all aspects of housework.....i find it comforting in its constancy of needing to be done.....i like how it all looks when it is done. i only lack the time to do it all in. perhaps when i retire i can just do it and enjoy it. if i had to pick something i find the most difficult, i would say scouring the bathtub. oh, i also love to hang the clothes outdoors and have a lovely washline put up by one of my wonderful son-in-laws! i really enjoy the clothes line!!!
