Thought it would be fun to tell the 2 part chores we all do, where we love doing one part, but hate doing the other.
I love hanging out laundry, but hate taking it down. I love having a flower garden, but hate weeding. I love washing dishes by hand, don't mind drying, but hate putting them away.
How about you?

I absolutely love laundry day, except for sorting...love hanging them out to dry, and folding, maybe it is just the getting started part. Same goes for dishes, hate loading the dish washer, but love hand washing, and putting away. I love everything about gardening, except for the day when it gets too hot and I have to give up in Florida. Then I just concentrate on making really great compost for next season :)

I love hand washing dishes, I even like putting them in the dishwasher, I just don't like putting them away! I love washing clothes and hanging them up or putting them in the dryer, I love warm sweet clean laundry, I don't like sorting out hubby's dirty socks 
I love planting and nurturing the garden, I love weeding too...I am just really heat sensitive and it gets hotter than  here and I hate having to admit defeat and go inside when I'd rather be playing in the garden.
I love to mow what passes for a lawn here (mostly canary reed grass) with my rotary push mower but I hate raking!

I love cooking and baking, but hate cleaning up afterwards. I love mopping floors, but hate sweeping. I love dusting, but not window washing. I love mowing the lawn but hate raking.I could go on and on with this one!!!

Don't mind sweeping floors but I hate to vacuum! Love to can fruits/veggies but hate to get all the equipment out, find my recipes, round up the pots...

| I love hand-washing dishes but don't dry it with towel. I prefer putting it at the dishrack. I don't mind doing laundry and folding clothing but don't like to put it away. I don't mind sweeping but not happy of mopping the floor. I love gardening/weeding but I don't like the bugs & heat. I love pets but I don't like maintaining the cage/fishtank (my husband have to clean it...haha). I love bagging groceries but don't like to put it away. I don't mind cleaning the toilet but the tub takes me awhile. I enjoy packing/wrapping things away but don't like unpacking or unwrapping. |

What a great thread! I thought I was the only one!! Haha, guess not! I love to plant my garden, watch it grow, and hate to weed. I love to bake and can, hate the clean up. Don't mind washing dishes or clothes, but despise putting them away. I hate to sweep, but love to hand mop on my hands and knees. I hate to vacuum, but love to shampoo the carpets. I strongly dislike to dust, but don't mind washing down the walls and light switches. Odd, isn't it. Some of the easier stuff, we dislike, and the more time consuming, we don't mind. My DH teased me about this very thing not too ling ago. I thought I was strange, turns out we all have a love/hate relationship with chores.
The tears I shed then, watered the flowers I harvest now.

| I love sweeping -- with my new brooms recommended by Megan (look up that old thread and check them out). But when I hit a hairball, oh yuck! Those things make me rethink my commitment to using rags instead of paper towels. Also makes me rethink my deep love of cats, but we all know I won't act on that any time soon :) |
