Household chores that you enjoy.....

There must be something that we enjoy, or if not enjoy then something that we hate least?

I think mine’s cooking…not sure if everyone would consider it to be a ‘chore’ but I do find it quite relaxing.

Re: Household chores that you enjoy.....

slicing veggies
cooking quick meals
opening up the fridge and staring at items without any purpose. This usually happens after 11 pm.
Collecting mail from the mailbox...and going through girlie catalogs

Re: Household chores that you enjoy.....

Re: Household chores that you enjoy.....

Afia, you know what they say.....you can run but you can't hide.

Re: Household chores that you enjoy.....

I love cooking and I know this is odd, but I love washing dishes........

Re: Household chores that you enjoy.....

It's not odd at all.....please come and live with me.

Re: Household chores that you enjoy.....

depends - do I get my own room????

Re: Household chores that you enjoy.....

As long as you keep it clean, yes.

Re: Household chores that you enjoy.....

ha!
that reminds me my love for doing dishes too....!!
infact i was quite upset when hubby bought us a dish washer .....i hate to gather a whole load of dirty dishes n then run the washer ....

i miss my 'pre-washer' times :(

Re: Household chores that you enjoy.....

I have a dishwasher but hardly use it as it takes a couple of days to fill it up - can't justify doing a half load as I'm trying to be enviromentally friendly - but then the thought of dirty crockery festering away in the dishwasher disgusts me too so inevitably I end up doing the dishes by hand.

Re: Household chores that you enjoy.....

i love washing the dishes... (im pretty suprised a few others in here enjoy it too)

i love cooking too.. especially the whole preparation bit like washing, peeling and slicing.. very relaxing indeed

Re: Household chores that you enjoy.....

Shahreen - so who informs my husband? me? or you? lol

Sadzzz - I'm surprised also, my family thinks it is odd, but I think both cooking and washing the dishes are so relaxing

Re: Household chores that you enjoy.....

Ok, after reading funguys response in the chores you hate thread, I have to add one more thing to my list....

I love folding laundry, especially after it has been hanging outside on the line. It smells so good.

Re: Household chores that you enjoy.....

Actually I love doing them all, I'm just a neat freak and I have to have things done my way.

Re: Household chores that you enjoy.....

Cooking....as long as all the dishes are washed.

Re: Household chores that you enjoy.....

I love cleaning lately, maybe it's a pregnancy thing. Being 8.5 mo pregg today I scrubbed the floors, tub, sink, vaccummed, dishes, dusted, cooked. But I find it so satisfying to see everything so sparkly and clean. I don't think it's the actual cleaning that I like but the end result.

Re: Household chores that you enjoy.....

I enjoy cleaning as I too enjoy seeing everything clean.
Sometimes I enjoy cooking but sometimes I dont, depends on what I am cooking and if it turns out good.

Re: Household chores that you enjoy…

I was like that towards the end of my pregnancy too…I think the books calls it the ‘nesting’ period. I wish men would get it too.

Re: Household chores that you enjoy.....

Men go through the 'nestling' period instead and get some sleep before the storm, coz they aint gonna get any shut eye for 16 years.
