I always dread doing laundry. There is nothing fun about it. Yes, I like having clean clothes, and I like the way my house smells when I'm doing laundry, but I wish someone else would do it for me. My least favorite part has to be matching socks. Most of the time I just throw them in the drawer unmatched. What is your least favorite part about doing laundry?

Definitely putting the clothes away.  My kids are so terrible about it that they leave clean clothes all over then put them back in the hamper to be washed again.  I make them wash their own clothes, but this doesn't help!!

I hate putting the clothes away! Once my 3 year old sees the laundry basket. Its play time! If I leave it unguarded for one minute he will have it dumped out

My washer and dryer is in the basement so for me it's lugging the wash down the steps then back up again.

And, in the summer to cut down on the electric bill, we hang the clothes on the line.  So it's down a flight of steps to wash, back up that same flight of steps then outside and down 4-ish steps (off the porch to the ground).

It just really hurts my back.  However, my hubby does all the carrying now and all I have to do is hang it out/bring it in in the summer and fold.

  For some reason, I don't mind putting the kids clothes away.  However, my  husband's clothes and mine seem to take me forever to put away.  My little guy just turned 4 and he changes outfits more than I would like.    If he gets anything on him, he changes clothes - LOL.

My DH organizes and gets the clothes through the washer/dryer.  I am on folding and put away duty most of the time and don't really mind it at all.  The only time I'm annoyed is when DD decides to take out all of the things I've already folded to play with.  ARRRGGGHHHHH!

I don't do it:) My two teenagers do their own because I was sick of them mixing clean and dirty all over the floor. They're boys and aged 16 and 13. My SO does the rest of ours and the baby's. Sometimes I'll fold and put away some if he didn't get to finish but not often. It's only fair. We both work full time.

Well since we moved, my least favorit part is having to go to the laundry mat.

I wouldn't have a problem doing laundry if I didn't have to put it away!
