Forgot about this.
Dachshund? Not so bad.
German Shepherd? 4th layer of hell.
We had a section of the yard set aside for him to do his business. I imagined that was what quicksand looks like.

I would always complain that it was so sexist. I finally told her no more at about the age of 14. From then on I got to do the yard work  . Now I hate yard work  .

I hated it so much that I decided I'll be buying a condo instead of a house so I won't have to mow or trim anything lol

I am with you on that-when I had my house here in Austin I hired people to do the yard. I just didn't have the time nor the energy. Now I live in an apt and will likely be buying a condo soon with no yard. I did make great money in HS though!

I was just about to say picking/snapping green beans! Here all this time I thought I was the only one who despised that job. It didn't seem to bother anyone else in my family.

I hated snapping green beans or any garden work that was tedious. My grandmother used to get us to shell peas, snap beans, take the stems off strawberries and blackberries. I loved the way she cooked and the jelly she made, but I HATED the time-consuming little pain-in-the-butt jobs!
Looking back, I do treasure that time spent with her, but I still hated the specific jobs!

Cleaning the bathroom. It's STILL my least favorite chore! But at least I live alone so it's not as bad now.

Ironing. My mother was obsessive in getting every single wrinkle out especially with sleeves.
Vacuuming also. I could never tell the difference when I was younger. Now I do, but back then it seemed so pointless especially with a dog.

I'm no longer a kid, but things haven't changed. All of the above, heh.
I LOATHE dishes; I paid my sister to do my share back in the day. Now I wash them a couple of times a week (mentally complaining all the while) and use them out of the drainer/washer.
I have a housekeeper now and I live alone in a one-BR apartment; she does the bathroom, kitchen, floors, sheets, vacuuming, dusting, and general heavy cleaning. I love her, pay her well, and encourage her to bring her (adorable) kids (so child care is never a problem).
I don't mind washing and folding laundry, but I HATE putting it away; it happens right before the housekeeper arrives.

i actually like cleaning the bathroom. something about bathing in a sparkling clean tub and seeing a super clean sink makes me happy.

Funny, growing up I had both of these at the same time. Cleo (the Dachshund) had adorable little poops to match her personality.
Beast on the other hand, well, his name says it all doesn't it?
