Jana, if I were you, I'd just stop cleaning his bathroom (unless it really bothers YOU). If he said he'd keep it clean, he should keep it clean or deal with it being a mess...
I HATE DISHES AND FLOORS!!!!
The two things that never STAY DONE! We have Pergo-like floors and I detest them. They are always streaky and show every footprint (although maybe that's the layer of dust LOL) and seem to be instantly dirty after being swept, dust-mopped, and wet-mopped...I've even tried vacuuming and I can still never get all the dust removed before I mop... I just figure what's the point in putting in all that work on something when it will be moments before it looks as if you haven't done it for weeks.
Dishes are just plain boring and the only time I 'like' to do them is when I'm really MAD. They also never stay done for very long. I do have to admit that I like having them DONE before bed, so I don't have to look at them in the morning when I'm grumpy...but I don't like to DO them. I'm thankful for my children growing older. ; }
Am I horrible for having given this chore over to my 11 yo DS (the little ones help, too)? At least they're done more frequently now!

Hey I am already look forward to when Nora can actually help around the house! I started doing chores when I was 5. It was my job to feed the dog and cats every day. At my house growing up, we rotated chores every week. So one person did bathrooms, one person did the dishes, one person had vacuuming, one person had garbage, one person had dusting, and one person had laundry. (I think that was the break down). It really helped alot. As much as you might hate a chore- you always knew you only had to do it for a week! :D

| I HATE THE DISHWASHER!! Even though my kids usually do it, I get stuck enough to despise it. I hate cleaning off the kitchen table too since it is hardly ever my stuff and I don't know where to put all the mail, husband's work papers, etc. It makes me nuts, but I love a clean kitchen. |

LOL- Jessie! I only like to wash the dishes when there are only a few and it is a bright sunny but cold day out! I don't know what it is about seeing bright cold sunshine but having my hands in hot water, but I can actually enjoy the dishes (if they aren't too grody!) then!

I would have to say my least favorite cleaning job is the bathroom and unfortunately I have 4 of them. I do all of them in one cleaning session so that I can say "not again for another week". They take forever!

I hate de-cluttering. I have a daycare, so not only am I home all day, but the kids have toys everywhere and my husband is in and out all day.
I hate that I have to spend an hour putting things where they belong just to start the actual cleaning!

Washing windows or the outside of the house. In LA everything gets this green algae that sticks like glue & it's an all day project to pressure wash the house or clean windows. Am I only limited to one chore I dislike???? :) I dislike immensely the chores of vacuuming and dusting, cleaning the tub, and cleaning knick-knacks in the kitchen because we don't have a vent for the stove and everything gets a greasy coat of dust and goo.

I don't like any of it either but my least favorite would be the floors. I don't mind to sweep or vacuum, but I don't like mopping. For some reason it hurts my back. I'm lucky that my husband doesn't mind doing it.
