It's not too bad, I just hate that I always get calluses on my hands from holding on so tight lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324314 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 12:21:51 +0000 Pepper 324314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! I probably wouldn't even know how to get it started. My parents and my brother always mowed it when I was growing up, and DH takes care of our lawn now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324309 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 12:20:04 +0000 cyndistar3 324309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes, I used to always mow the lawn for my dad. DH won't let me do it lol.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324296 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 12:15:12 +0000 HLK208 324296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! I call it DH's form of vacuuming. Actually, we had an electric lawn mower for awhile and DH would throw the cord over his shoulder...it was pretty funny to watch. Until he mowed over the cord. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324290 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 12:09:35 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 324290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's totally my job! Growing up I drove the full-size tractor towing a bush-hog to mow our rural yard, but now that we're in the suburbs I've downgraded to a self propelled push mower - it was only this weekend, at 33 weeks pregnant, that I delegated the mowing to DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324283 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 12:06:16 +0000 lawbee11 324283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I helped my dad once when I was younger cause I thought it would be "fun"....that lasted all of 10 minutes. DH and I now have a lawn service that does it for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324269 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 12:01:24 +0000 chopsuey 324269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! My dad used to always mow the lawn. Now our gardeners do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324267 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 12:00:48 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 324267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did with a riding mower growing up -- we had a big yard. Right now we're in a townhouse where it's all done for us (yessss). At our old house, we paid for someone until we got fed up because he wasn't doing a good job. DH got an old-fashioned mower. He was so cute using it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324263 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 11:59:52 +0000 dagret 324263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not even once!</p> <p> My mom or my brothers would do it growing up, then I lived in an apartment by myself, and DH has mowed the lawn the entire time we've lived together, but we have a riding mower so i don't think it takes him more than 1/2 hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324261 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 11:59:06 +0000 Meridian 324261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope!! We live in a condo now, but growing up, we had a yard. My dad used to mow it when I was younger, but eventually he hired a gardening company to come mow. I always wanted to ride on the riding lawn mower, but I'm accident prone... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324258 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 11:57:43 +0000 MamaMoose 324258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't believe how many people have never mowed a lawn!</p> <p>Growing up I used to do my parents lawn with a riding mower.</p> <p>At our home now hubs does most of the yard work. But every now and then I like to mow the lawn. We have a push mower so it's a good work out, and our yard isn't that big so it doesn't take so long that it's unenjoyable. I was actually kind of bummed I didn't get to do it at all this year since I'm pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324248 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 11:52:37 +0000 lovehoneybee 324248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never!</p> <p>When we lived in TX we had a few acres and a riding lawn mower but my dad or stepmom always did it...I was too young. Then when we moved to LA my stepmom always insisted on doing it. </p> <p>When DH and I lived in Pittburgh we had a yard, but our landlords owned like half the block and hired someone to mow ALL of the lawns on the block a few times a month. When we moved in with my SIL DH would mow...because he likes to do it and says he missed it! </p> <p>We don't have a lawn now :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324185 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 11:06:36 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 324185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never the whole yard. Our push mower is not self propelled so it's hard for me to handle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324183 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 11:03:48 +0000 pl0508 324183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324178 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 11:02:46 +0000 pinkcupcake 324178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I'd like to try though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324154 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:51:46 +0000 Shutterbug 324154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but I have snow-blowed the driveway a bunch of times, which is basically the same thing (pushing around a big scary motorized thing that could sever a limb, haha) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324118 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:40:17 +0000 LazyLightning 324118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah this was my job growing up. Several acres of lawn. I hated it. Now as an adult I mow our lawn probably 95% of the time. (It was my husband's job growing up too--also several acres--and he hated it more than I did!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324116 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:39:34 +0000 Running Elley 324116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! My parents have acreage as well and I wasn't allowed to drive the riding mower. When I lived by myself it was in a dorm. And now I have DH :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324091 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:31:24 +0000 MrsTiz 324091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! A couple of times. My childhood home had an enormous area which dad cut, they have yard people at their current home (where I grew up mostly), I lived in an apartment and now DH cuts the grass on a riding mower. I've cut the grass before at my parents beach house on a riding one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324088 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:30:26 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 324088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: right on!</p> <p>@mediagirl: how romantic! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324078 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:27:04 +0000 mediagirl 324078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I did ride on a college boyfriend's tractor with him a few times, though. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324076 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:26:57 +0000 DillonLion 324076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No cupholder, but apparently I can drive it one-handed according to the picture so I could be holding a beverage in the other hand ;) </p> [attach=288/12/mbdk8y.600x359.36935_820297096120_6472152_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324075 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:26:52 +0000 LAGS 324075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually like mowing the lawn. Since buying our house I've only done it once. DH likes to do it and doesn't like seeing me to "man chores". When I was growing up though I mowed our lawn for Dad and loved mowing the big lawn at our cottage on the riding mower.. haha I though I was so cool "driving" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324071 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:24:41 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 324071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: oh, does it have a cup holder? I have always wanted to mow a lawn on a riding lawn mower while drinking a beer! LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324067 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:23:15 +0000 Adira 324067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Hubs and I split the lawn in half and we each do our own sides, haha. It's part of my exercise in the summer! I'm looking forward to not having to cut it anymore though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324065 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:22:55 +0000 Mrs. Pen 324065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never in my life! Growing up my parents had 5 acres but dad wouldn't let me drive the rider mower. Then I lived in NY and there was a landscaper, then living with DH we've only lived in rentals where we didn't have a yard :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324062 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:21:40 +0000 regberadaisy 324062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha I actually did for the first time a few weeks ago. It's hard work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324056 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:19:36 +0000 autumnlove 324056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never have! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-mowed-a-lawn#post-324055 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:19:09 +0000 MrsBrewer 324055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! that's hubby's job! i dont even know how to start it! </p>
