My friend finds ironing her clothes the most difficult work to do. She consumes most of her time when she does this work at home. It's good for her that her husband is so good at ironing clothes. She'd rather cook, wash and clean the house than iron. Funny because this is the easiest work for me.
What household work do you hate to do?

I prefer ironing to washing clothes or cleaning the house. [nympha687]
I also want to iron clothes that wash clothes. I have allergies to some laundry soaps. Washing gives me backaches too. [dorisday1971]
I like ironing clothes too, I like it that i don't have to move around the house or go up and down the stairs. I can even choose to do it sitting down. I find it relaxing because my mind don't get too stressed. I don't like to cook, maybe its because I don't know how to cook that well and I can afraid that my husband will not eat the food i cooked hehe [silverglint]
I love to do many household work except washing the clothes. I can wash the dishes, cook, clean the house, ron the clothes and many other things. [dorisday1971]
I find ironing easy to do if few clothes clothes =) and I dont like it much because it consumes not my time but on our electricity. =( What I hate to do is laundry even with washing machine because I still need to hand wash those clothes which are dirty and those for hand wash only. [skylovergirl79]
Cutting teh cost of electricity is one of the reasons why I prefer to iron our clothes than have somebody do it for us. I once hired somebody to iron our clothes but I didn't like her work. It took her one whole day to iron the clothes which I can do in just an hour. [dorisday1971]
I too hate ironing my clothes. Other than ironing and cooking I enjoy all the other house work. Luckily my daughter likes ironing so I have handed over that job to her!! [mayka123]
That's good. At least there is somebody in your family who loves to do that work and you can divide the work among the family members. [dorisday1971]
actually what ever i am writing in this discussion is my mothers views.. she think that it is really very hard to do ironing clothes in home and if there are small kids in the house it is very difficult because there are many small clothes of them which is a real headache. she prefers to give clothes for ironing in the outdoor shops. [mohak27056666]
Having the clothes ironed in some shops would bew the better option for you and your mother to make your life stress-free. This job is not easy for everyone and I understand that. [dorisday1971]
Nope, i even think ironing clothes is the easiest task. I've been ironing my clothes since high school. I wake at 5am so i used my time to iron my school uniform while my mom is asleep. I need to help out. So right now i guess ironing is pretty easy. I'd rather iron lots of clothes than wash them by hand. I hate washing by hand. The pants most specifically, are too heavy when they're wet. Plus it wounds my hands they i keep brushing them for a long period of time. [modstar]
That's good. I also did iron my clothes and uniforms wayback in high school. I don't find this job tough. Have a good day. [dorisday1971]
I would have to say vacuuming because I have a bad back. That repetitive movement makes me ache well before I'm done. Yet no one else in the house will do it so I have to suffer. sad [leonelaphotography]
Mom was our disciplinarian and dad is the one who spoiled us. LOL [leonelaphotography]
i prefer ironing clothes than washing the clothes, washing the dishes and cleaning the mess my kids made. [gohanpastor]
That's good. Who do the washing of the clothes and the dishes? [dorisday1971]
I love to iron clothes as funny as that sounds I used to iron my dads uniform for him all the time with the military creases and all I do not mind it at all I used to go out to my mothers house just to iron her clothes! [sxrxnrr45601]
Really? Isn't it difficult to iron those military uniforms which need special ironing services? I mean, military uniforms have many pockets and it should be ironed well. [dorisday1971]
I love to do everythng like washing clothes ,ironing,cleaning house nd even cooking.its really tough for me too find which housework I hate,bt that doesnt mean I always love to do housework,honestly sometimes I neglect nd handover to my sis [happygill]
Cleaning the house and doing all the housework may be fun but there are times when we reach the point of being exhausted at doing the same things all over again. It's good that there is somebody in your family who will the job for you. Thanks. dd [dorisday1971]
I do not have anything I hate doing around the home,I would rather not clean the oven or kitchen cupboards but I still do them otherwise they get to grubby.I like doing the ironing it is very relaxing and seeing all the clothes all smart and hanging nicely in the cupboards ,it looks so nice and satisfying,seeing my husband and son turned out smart is lovely for me.The cleaning and polishing is very satisfying I love to look at my hard work,and take pride in my home,and garden.It is so nice to have a clean home and change the beds once a week all clean and fresh that is the way I like to have it.I cannot understand woman who put off the house work till they have to ,it would drive me mad to sit in a mess.Then the work is twice as hard,it will take easy and such hard work which you would never finish and all that dust is not good for you,my husband works very hard to pay for everything and it is only right he comes home to clean home,somewhere he can relax in. [suzzy3]
I feel what you feel. After doing the housework, I feel the satisfaction when I see things clean and in order. It's relaxing when the house is tidy and clean. Thanks for responding. dd [dorisday1971]
Yup, ironing is tough and dreadful - I simply detest doing it. I don't mind the washing (machine), hanging out the clothes and folding them; but not ironing. It's a task I would try to postpone until I don't have enough clothes to wear to work! [lazeebee]
Really? Why is it tough? You are like my friend. Anyway, I understand that. Ironing clothes isn't the kind of work for everyone. God bless. [dorisday1971]
The most hateful chore for me is dusting. If I can just avoid this task, I will! As for ironing, it's a tough job. It's not on my "hate" list but I prefer ironing to dusting. Usually, I spend two to three hours ironing. And I do this at least once or twice a week. My legs are the first to go "ouchy" after an hour of standing, then followed by a lower back ache. Sometimes, I try to sit while ironing just so I can rest my legs for a few minutes. [jcj_111776]
Hello again happy Yes, dusting never fails to make me sneeze. I've tried covering my nose but still, I end up sneezing. And there are times, my sneezing episode worsens. When it comes to ironing, I do sit once in a while to give my legs some rest and relieve the cramps. [jcj_111776]
The last time I ironed clothes, when I was in a foster home in my early teens. The foster mom made me iron clothes for the whole household..... I hated it. When I buy clothes, I make sure they have the no iron tag on. Now sometimes when something needs ironing, my son takes over and does it. [IllinoisValleyRocks]
It is a good idea of buying clothes with no iron tag because aside from the fact that you don't need to iron the clothes, you can also save on your electricity cost. I like that saving practice. thanks for your response. [dorisday1971]
i dont really iron unless i have to but if i were to say the house work that i hate to do the most is washing dishes and putting them away now thats time consuming at least you can hold off on ironing your clothes until you use them but you have to wash your dishes everyday [tasha19]
Thanks for the best response my friend! I posted several new discussions. I would love to get your input. happy [leonelaphotography]
normally i don't iron house clothes but when i go outside my clothes should be properly pressed. I'd rather clean my bathroom that to wash the dishes hmmp... [gracypure]
