I was going to say this as well and I don't come from a big family. Thank god for the dishwasher otherwise I don't think I would ever see my sink again.
I don't come from a big family either, but even my own dishes are such a pain. Everything else seems like it can be done relatively on my own schedule, but dishes need to be take care of within a time limit or they become an even bigger pain. I don't have a dishwasher either so it's even worse having to scrub it and get my hands (and sometimes shirt, I don't even know how) all wet.
Same. As a kid, I hated it. Today though, I'd rather do the dishes than vacuum or laundry, even though my SO is notoriously bad at taking a dish, glass, container,etc to another room and leaving it there for me to find after I've already started the dishwasher...
One thing that has greatly improved my grocery shopping is listening to music while I do it. Whenever I get to the supermarket, I take my earphones and plug them to my phone. It is much more enjoyable than before. I don´t even care about the crowds and the lines anymore since it is just more time to listen to good music.
Hello! Have you heard the good news of our lord and master ONline shopping? (though i'm with you still, i hate tryin to buy fresh food online because store pickers are obviously idiots who have no idea what they're doing)
ah maybe just a think in the UK that it's the same price to shop online. there's a new service now where they shop and you just pick it all up in the carpark and bugger off :D
I used to have a pretty bad weed problem in the front yard. Started cutting my grass a lot higher (3") and it seems to have solved the problem nicely. From what I read, cutting it higher promotes more growth (since it doesn't have to grow back as much after every cutting). More grass growth starves out everything else trying to get into your lawn (namely, the crab grass).
That being said, it grows quicker faster when you cut less back. So, you end up mowing more often. Unless it rains, then by the time you get out with the lawn mower it will be tickling your chin.
This time of year I do get a couple of bits that come up. Normally just pull them out and toss when mowing.
we have this weed here called Fireweed. That shit can grow literally anywhere it doesn't need anything for it's roots they just creep along the stone or whatever.
So on the upside they're easy to pick out and all the roots come with it pretty much 99% of the time. On the downside they grow faster than triffids and grow everywhere. They make feathery windswept seeds too so they can't be stopped ¬_¬ wouldn't matter if everyone in town made an effort it would just blow in from the countryside verges and wooded areas.
Cleaning the bathtub and shower. It never feels rewarding. I even created a scrub brush attachment for my power drill, in hopes that faster soap scum removal and the addition of power tools would make the experience more enjoyable. It did not.

Washing dishes. We had a big family living in one house so there was a lot of them to be washed.

Changing sheets, it's boring and I honestly hate have to lift mattresses because everyone in my home has their beds in a corner.

Weeding.
It seems like the most pointless exercise in existence. I hate it. I hate it SO bad. It takes forever, and before long - it's back to how it was.

Costs me a bomb in gutter cleaning
Changing/cleaning the cat litter box. A lot of my cats have had pretty bad aim, but even the best case scenarios are bad.
Vacuuming the minivan. Washing it with a hose was fun, the vacuuming sucked ass.
i hate Dishes and goddamn dusting.
Unfortunately I'm the housewife right now :(
Cleaning. All of it. I've trained up offspring now so less for me to do.
Scooping the cat litter

haha. Go pick up some ammonia. it will break up the soap scum and make it easier to clean
I will try that this weekend. Thank You.
