Say you could unload one chore from your life, what would it be?

For me, it would be walking the dog. I love our dog, she is cool and good, but she takes for loving ever to take her piss / poo poo. My wife and I have clocked 40 minute walks before, and they're 10-20 minutes on average. This is even when it's 0 degrees out with a -30 wind chill, she doesn't give a poo poo. (literally) But if she doesn't go for a walk she thinks nothing about laying cable inside the house - so we also have to take her out fairly frequently and can't wait until she has to go bad.

It's a big pain in the rear end. Good doge tho.

I don't do these, but I hear bad reviews from my wife. I think she hates laundry more.

It's hard to decide between this and lawn mowing. I hate the act of lawn mowing more than cleaning dishes, but I only have to mow the lawn about half of the year and only once a week during that time.

I don't mind doing them when I'm actually doing them but it's getting myself motivated to do them that's irritating.

That's kinda true for most tasks in life though I guess.

Dusting. You don't have to do it as often as other things, but it takes forever and you usually need to move furniture.

Everything about lawns is stupid. You're spending a bunch of time and effort growing a bunch of plants so you can mow them and throw it all away once a week. It's a waste of everything

I don't mind mowing the lawn. I have a ride-on so I sit there and contemplate life while I turn a wheel every so often. It's almost hypnotizing.

Owning my own home has taught me that you can invest an infinite amount of money into your lawn. There is no limit, there is no end game.

Garbage, in general. I don't want to sort out the recycling, I don't want to take it out, I don't want to put the can out on the right day, I don't want to clean the can in my kitchen when it gets nasty. I just want all my waste products to disappear.

Gladly. Laundry takes like an hour or two every week. 15 minutes x 4-5 times a day x 7 days = I resent my dog.

Dishes. To the point where I almost bought a freestanding dishwasher. I have zero problem folding clothes or cleaning the house, and the wife does the laundry and the cooking, but gently caress, I hate doing dishes.

e: even cleaning 2 litter boxes daily pales in comparison.

Free standing dishwashers are great. They are usually huge, a ton cheaper, and give you a ton more countertop space
