Boys should do dishes!

It builds character! Ha! I told my son he should reuse his glass and not get a clean glass everytime he wants something to drink, because he doesn't know what a pain in the butt it is to do dishes all the time. So, he said he would like to do the dishes, but we always say no. So I said he could. It's taking some time, but I haven't washed a dish yet! He keeps getting distracted and I keep offering to take over, but he won't let me! Good for him.

I have the same battle with glasses in my house. I can't tell you how many times I have run out of glasses and there are only 3 of us. One of my pet peeves is dirty dishes in the sink. If you ever see dishes in my sink for more than 15 min..... there is a big problem!! My kitchen has to be SPOTLESS AT ALL TIMES, I know I have issues but it's just the way I am.

I would clean your house from top to bottom before I sat down I'm sure. I think you would want to adopt me then, maybe not the best idea. I may want to stay!

My problem is I have a slight case of OCD and it drives me crazy! I find it hard not to clean at peoples houses that I don't know. When they aren't looking, I straighten things! Only been caught once!

Now you know why I am fighting for sanity! If I can keep my house pretty much clean for an entire week, I am lucky. But then I go to work, and by Monday, it's like I am starting all over again! It is like living Ground Hog Day, over and over and over and over and over....



Now do you know why I y'am the way I y'am?

That traitor!! He must be going to ask for something soon .





















J/k....actually here if I have the house to myself I do a lot of the housework so mom doesn't have to do it when she gets home from whatever, dishes get washed, laundry gets done, floors swept, ect, ect, ect.....

I actually thought I had posted a picture in the wrong thread but then realized that wasn't my garage. This is, but it's close to being the same!

Aliie, I belive that dirty dishes contain some magnetic field that attracts more dirty dishes.
We have a dishwasher and are not afraid to use it, but it chaps my butt to no end when the boy will plop whatever into the sink & walk away rather than reach down & put stuff in the DW.
I swear, as soon as one thing lies in the sink, it's 3, then 5 & all of a sudden it's full & I'm the butthead for complaining!

I have a dishwasher too so there is absolutely no reason for a dirty dish to be in the sink! I don't think you are a butthead for complaining. I would hate to have a drop in and be caught with dishes in the sink, on the counter or food on the stove that was done cooking.

At my house, everyone does everything. Both my son and daughter clean and cook. Daughter loves to be in the garage hammering and drilling with her father. Boy mows the lawn because my daughter is still too little.

Funny thing though at my house if I ask you do to something, I'll tell you or show you how to do it. Do it wrong and you do it over again until it's right. My son mowed the lawn FOUR times in one day He was pushing the mower so fast it couldn't cut and he was missing huge spaces because he was in a hurry to go play with his friends. His friends ended up coming over and waiting for him, even pointing out the spots he missed Figured out the next time it's easier and faster to do it right the first time.

We have the same issue with the dishwasher. If it's clean or dirty, they'll throw everything into the sink instead of putting it in the dishwasher and then they wonder why I yell!
