Laundry is a constant never ending process in our house there is always something washing, hanging, drying, in baskets folded etc.

What part of the process do you dislike the most? For me I hate to put away, I do not mind washing, drying or folding, but it is the moving baskets between three rooms, trying to find hangers, trying to find space part that irritates me!

Definitely putting it away. We have tiny closets, and they are PACKED!
Washing is easy - the machine does all the work - it's not like I have to haul them down to the river and beat them on a rock.
I don't mind taking the wet clothes outside and hanging them on the line either - I actually kind of enjoy that part.

I detest folding it... I don't mine washing, to dryer and even putting it away I really can't stand folding it, I don't mind hanging it.

I agree I hate the folding part, it's just time consuming. One thing that I have been doing to try and not feel that way is to fold laundry when I am watching tv and that does seem to make it go faster, maybe it's just because I am being distracted and not thinking about the clothes.

Remembering to check for stains before throwing the clothes in the wash. DH and I are good about setting aside and pretreating clothes, but the kids tend to forget if they've got a stain on their clothes. I wish I would remember to check their clothes every time before washing them!

I hate folding. That is the ONLY thing that I ask my wife to do (and she still doesn't sometimes).

Putting it away...It has been an on-going joke between Kellynkay and I for years now...I will vacuum her entire house if she'll put away my laundry

I don't so much hate folding the soft warm wash out of the dryer ... But I absoulutly hate ... HATE folding the wash that is dry from the day before.
I have a big rack in my bathroom,, and I hang alot on hangers .. it dries overnight, And I dread folding it.
Oh and finding the space to properly dry everything is a pain too!!
I wash for 6 people so sometimes it is a real drag...
