[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have kids?  Just wait until you have teenagers in the house.  The dishes don't even make it to the sink.  DS loves his midnight snack and each morning all I can say is gross when I see the dishes.  I keep nagging him to get them in the sink and rinse them - forget about the dishwasher.[/quote]

I'm sorry, but this just isn't true in all families. And frankly, having two parents that set the right example from the start can help avoid it.

Leaving dishes anywhere except the dishwasher or the sink is 100% unacceptable in our house and results in not being allowed to eat outside the kitchen/dining room. I cannot imagine allowing dishes being left in other parts of the house as a few posters have mentioned. It's about setting & enforcing expectations. [/quote]

Five kids.  I had the same rule (they are grown now).  I wasn't super strict about not eating outside the kitchen but if I found so much as a wrapper in their bedrooms, they lost that privilege.  And dishes are never under any circumstances just left in the sink by kids.  Maybe when you have a houseful you have to be more careful.  It's easy for things to fall into chaos without rules.

My DH, however, is not a child.  If he leaves a dish out, I roll my eyes and put it away.[/quote]
