[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I adore my parents, and I’m so glad they could stay with us for almost 2 weeks, but OMG, they each used about a million glasses/mugs every day and left them scattered all over the house. They don’t do this at their own house![/quote]

Do you put them in the dishwasher the second they finish a glass so they have to get a different cup next time? My mom does that when we visit and it drives us crazy to get new glasses just for a refill of water every time. We've started just bringing large water bottles. [/quote]

Not the PP, but same. We just carry our water bottles around their house now. My kids are used to using them from school, but it feels odd to me to be using a refillable water bottle inside their house. Beats having to get a new glass every 20 minutes or so, though. [/quote]

Hahaha my MIL does this as well, including when she visits us. "I noticed that (water) glass has been sitting on the table for 2 hours, do you know who it belongs to or should I put it away?" I think it's because my FIL is scattered and she spends her whole life clearing up his shit.

I am the water glass snatching person haha.  Only when there's a lot of people in the house!  Our glasses all look the same and I know everyone is going to lose track, and if I don't put them in the dishwasher they will just sit on the kitchen island/throughout the house for days while people take new clean ones from the cupboard, until there are no more clean ones left and then people start drinking out of coffee mugs and wine glasses and it's madness

So I just grab every unattended water glass I see and put it in the dishwasher.  It's the only way.  But I know the ILs probably make fun of me[/quote]

Ha, this is my complaint and I learned to stash water glasses I did not want cleared in the room where I was sleeping. Which seems like a crazy work-around, but I'm sure I'm not the only one.[/quote]
