In reply to the discussion: What is your most hated chore? [View all]3catwoman3
(30,214 posts)47. Some years ago, we were in Germany, visiting my husband's son from his first marriage.
The little hotel we stayed in folded the quilts/duvets down toward the foot of the bed to allow the sheets to air out.
I've done that ever since. I like pretty sheets, so this way I get to see them. The bed still looks tidy, and it's a lot quicker than fussing with a blanket and bedspread. I usually don't bother with a top sheet, and when I do, I never tuck it in. I like my feet to be free.
My mom was a nurse, as was her mother, as am I. I can still make hospital corners with the best of them, (been doing it since about age 8) but there's no reason to.

GMTA. I, too, really dislike cleaning house, particularly vacuuming and dusting.

LOL! I like those. I have cats, too. They are gray and their fur shows on both dark and light surfaces.

I can remember my supervisor saying "that's great, but I'm not paying for it."

Folding laundry -- all that time wasted messing around with something that's already clean!

I have semi-joked many a time that if I were raising our sons again, I wouldn't bother...

Unloading/loading the dishwasher. I'm in a retirement community so I don't have the awful housework I used to have.
