Stop trying to misdirect the conversation!!! Leaving all of your dishes from dinner the previous evening including the dishes it was cooked in, as well as all of the breakfast dishes, all on a daily basis is NOT a few dishes in the sink. It IS a reasonable expectation to not have to work around filth on a daily basis, and it IS a reasonable expectation that adults can manage to clean up after themselves. Once in a while fine. That's not what this is. This is a pile of dishes being left in the sink every day.

It doesn't include the dishes it was cooked in. In the OP, she said that she cooks dinner and does those dishes. I am honestly having trouble imagining how this is more than five minutes of work for anyone.

Right, so the parents can take 5 minutes out of their evening or morning to clean up after themselves like grown-ups. I am all for pitching in to make lives easier, but seriously, how is this even up for debate???

Pp here. Right anyone in this situation could take five minutes and just do it. It's stupid for either party to let this affect an otherwise good relationship.
