[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So wait you are not doing dishes and there are two male teenagers involved? No husband?

You expect the two teenagers to work it out between themselves on who’s doing the dishes?

If all of this is true, I think you need to assign days.[/quote]

Op. 
Nope, I’m not doing the dishes. I initially assigned each one a task (you empty, you fill) but told them they were free to switch and bargain as long as it gets done. That’s totally reasonable. They are not babies. So yes, I do expect two teenagers to figure this out. Both kids are highly disciplined and accomplished in their areas of interest, so I realize this is NOT a frontal lobe executive function development issue as someone suggested, it’s pure ‘mom will take care of this for us’. And it’s going to end this summer :) [/quote]

Sure, you can dig your heels in and be righteous or you can just realize that even teenage boys can’t read your mind.

It’s not that they’re not doing it. It’s just not being done to your liking because you have some image in your head on how it should be done, but you haven’t shared that.

It sounds like you don’t work do you work?

You don’t just assign something to people at work and say I imagine you’re gonna read my mind and know exactly how I want you to do it. Explain what your expectations are and you have them do it that way.

Seriously how often are you dirty and so many dishes that you have to run a dishwasher.

Mean we run dishes every 2 to 3 days. Are you using dishes and putting them next to the sink? Is that even a thing in your house?

After you use a dish, don’t you put it in the dishwasher?[/quote]

Op here. 
Wut? Did you read any of the other posts or did you just start blasting away with nonsense??

Update: op/me works. 
Dishes were done.
