What household chore do you most enjoy?

I don't know that I enjoy any of them. I can appreciate the end results of doing laundry, which also means I can see more of my floor, but actually doing the laundry is a big whip.

I enjoy tackling the morning mail and disposing of all the loose ends. I can get quite cranky when a disputed bill arrives on Saturday (doctor's offices seem to commit this mailing insult on a regular basis) so that I won't be able to deal with it until Monday.

Washing dishes. It's very relaxing. And it's tied up with memories of doing dishes with my sisters, sisters-in-law and mother. All are very warm and loving memories.

I like to organize things, like putting CD's in alphabetical order, or setting up my Star Trek videos in chronological order. . . stuff like that. .

Maybe laundry because it smells good.

I do more yardwork than housework right now, can't really say I have a favorite. Actually I can't really say I like this stuff at all. My girlfriend's fanatical about it though, I think I've mentioned it before that there's 30 cats but a blind person wouldn't know it unless they tripped over one.

I enjoy a chore? I don't think so! I don't know if this is a chore, but I like to be the one to cook dinner. I love to try out new recipes and see how they turn out!

Pressing START on the dishwasher. Growing up without one makes me grateful for having my own one today; and I appreciate the conveinence of washing machines dryers, cars and other things we couldn't always afford when I was a kid.

I love water and suds. So washing dishes by hand, cleaning the bathroom and kitchen rank amongst my favorite chores. I also love to cook.

Cooking! Not only is it a nice mix of science and creativity, but everyone appreciates the results.

*ahem* Enjoy??? I don't think the words "chore" and "enjoy" should go together, lol.

Ha! I don't enjoy any of them!!

As sadistic as this question is, I think it's when I do complete overhauls of my bedroom, including cleaning out my closet and dresser and nightstand, and vacuuming the whole thing, cleaning the windows, etc. It gives me a sense of satisfaction afterward, and I love having a totally clutter and dust free bedroom.

"Chore" and "enjoy" are oxymorons. ;)

Making dinner, cleaning my room, organizing.

I suppose that would be walking the dog, but I don't consider that a chore...eh, whatever

Ew! I definitely don't have one.

actually, I enjoy cleaning alot. I love to clean my apt and sometimes clean my mother's just for the heck of it. But I'd hafta say my favorite event would be vacuuming. I like the sound of stuff off the carpet going into the vacuum. It gives me a good feeling.

Laundry. You can throw in the clothes and let them wash/dry while doing other things or just sitting on your butt. All chores should have been designed this way!!

Polishing brass. I don't quite know why, but one Christmas when I was a kid my mother assigned it to me as a chore and there's just always been something about it.

Kim, 30

Enjoy most? Shouldn't that be worded "which household chore do you object to least?" I kind of like to feed the cat...I like to see her joyful expression.

Reba, 51

Cooking. I want the world to taste the hash browns I fry up.

Um, none of them. But if I had to pick, I suppose sweeping the floor. Nothing grosses me out more than seeing my son's dirty hands after playing on the hardwood floor... bleeech. So I try to keep the floor clean enough to eat on.

Washing dishes is fun. I like playing with water(it's especially fun when you do it with someone else).

I don't enjoy household chores at all. But the one that I least mind is vacuuming. I like to see dirt disappear right before my eyes.

Lisa J., 22

none of them! but if i had to pick one it would be putting away groceries. i always have fun doing that for some reason.

Sitting down on the couch in an already clean house. I don't like doing any of them.

Washing the dishes. It's just fun.
