What job do you dread most?
My lawn is growing quickly and will need to be mowed in the not so distant future. The problem is I have yet to pick up all of the little limbs the have fallen over winter. I say little because I have moved several entire trees and large limbs after the ice storm. I hate picking up limbs. It should have been done but I am very adept at finding other things to do with my time. I do harder jobs but none I dread more than walking around and putting small limbs in the trailer. Since I am out of time, it will get done this week.

I don't mind yard work. I do it all here. Mowing, weed whacking, gardening. I hate doing dishes. period. I just hate doing them.

For me its mopping. With dogs that shed I'm always fighting with fur. Even if I vaccum first there always seems to be fur. With a house full of wood floors theres is always mopping to be done.

My biggest spring dread is the dog doo clean-up from the winter! Most winters I try to get out and get it picked up a few times. But this winter was just so cold and nasty I didn't get to it.
It's not going to be fun!
We also are moving our garden this year, and DH still has some tree trunks (from a tree that came down) that need to be split and stacked. Not looking forward to either of those, but I'll be happy when they are done!

Floors. Anything to do with floors, mopping, sweeping, vacuuming. I love clean floors, just hate to do it. No idea why!

I hate sweeping, mopping and doing the bathrooms.
I just built my house last year so I haven't had to mow my lawn yet because of the winter. I get to do that tonight for the first time. So my most dreaded job list might be growing lol.

Fixer, I'll make you a deal.
I'll go pick up sticks and branches in your yard ....if you come over and scrub my bathtub. I hate scrubbing the sides at that awkward angle and that first bath after a big scrubbing when I wonder if there is chemical residue in my bath water.

What I hate the most is the continuing war against poison ivy. So far, poison ivy is winning.
