[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to bother them and make them come back to the kitchen and put the dishes in the dishwasher. I interrupted them and didn’t care. It works.

Putting dirty dishes in the sink instead of the dish washer is SO rude. [/quote]

My mother did that for everything:  
toilet paper not put on the roll?  call us from our rooms (or tv) to do it
something sitting on the stairs to be taken up was just ignored and stepped over?  call us to do it
dishes left in or next to sink?  call us down to do it
every single thing not done - call us down to do it.

(my father worked 60-80 hours/week, he was NOT the one doing it, it was my sister and I)

When we were little (Grades K-3) we would come in, get a drink of water, put that on the counter, 30 minutes later, be hot, want a drink, come in and GET A NEW GLASS for water and, yep, that went on the counter (we didn't have a dishwasher then).  SO... since we were using plastic cups that were colors, we would choose our color for the day and SO HELP US we would use that glass throughout the entire day.  Because having 10 glasses that all had a sip of water in them by 6pm was outrageous when there were only 2 kids! Smart woman![/quote]
