Matching up DH's socks! :(
I like washing clothes, having them smell fresh, but I absolutely hate matching up his socks!
What part of laundry do you dislike?

I hate folding the socks and undies (for 5 people). I like doing the towels, because it goes so much faster:)

I actually like doing laundry!
But don't get me started on going to the grocery store....ugh, I hate it! After putting off going all weekend, I just now bribed my 16 year old to go for me. I gave him my debit card and said he could buy any junk food he wanted!

Oh Boy!!!! I do not like sorting the hang up to dry and put into dryer clothes after the wash cycle. I do not dry any of my or SO's shirts (other than t-shirts) or SO's pants. I find that they get out of shape by dryer drying them, so I have to hang them up. I love the towels and sheets because that whole wash load gets thrown right into the dryer, no sorting needed!!!!!!

I am sooo lucky because DH has turned into a great shopper. He did all of the shopping this morning while I was doing laundry. :Pinkbounc
The only problem is like when I tell him I need 2 onions, he gets 4, I need 1 cucumber, he gets three, etc. :p
But I never complain so he doesn't stop going to the store for me.! :bounce:

I've tried for a number of years now, but I've been unsuccessful at finding anything enjoyable about doing laundry. Sorry, I just plain hate it.
I do enjoy grocery shopping though! :)

Me, too! His work socks are so similar in color, but different enough to be a pain!

Hehe i don't wash my clothes. I could before, but since my mom got a washing machine and dryer that look like spaceships, i dont know how to use them anymore.

Somehow I knew Jason would say that.:p
I hate gathering the laundry. The rest doesn't bother me. It's kinda therapeutic.

Come on, everyone, please! Let us not forget sorting the nasty 'dirty' clothes from the hamper!!! Yuck! No telling what's in there sometimes!
I don't care much for sorting and folding all those white socks and undies but, at least they're clean when they come out of the dryer!!!

Good one KimRaye..............all those dirty undies etc in the dirty clothes basket..............:(
That's when I'm glad I've got fingernails to pick them up with:)
Tho once my youngest DS put a lizard in with the clean socks to be folded & guess who hates lizards.........yeah me!!! Anyway, I was busily folding away when someting crawled up my hand:eek:
It's a wonder you didn't hear me scream all the way over there........I let it rip!!! I HATE creepy crawlies of any sort not matter the size....:(

I don’t mind the laundry (or grocery shopping); but since I only have my own to worry about, that probably makes a difference. What I hate is ironing. I avoid it whenever possible.

I don't mind ironing, unless it's 5:30 am! Shopping is not bad, DH goes with me. Laundry is what I traded DH for the litter box for, so no complaints there! I also make HIM sort his socks. ;)
However I hate that my washer and dryer are in the basement. I also hate folding sheets.

Actually I don't mind the laundry the only problem is I have to wait until my DS is asleep. Ever since I "accidentally" overloaded it one day in a hormonal rage and it made tons of noise he's afraid of it. But I do agree on the socks, yucky!
