Our adult daughter (22) lives at home and it has been an on going battle to get her to wash her own dishes. Yesterday her father had had enough and gave her an ultimatum. She was to wash the dishes that she had used by the time he get home from work or he was going to throw them out.
Daughter said challenge accepted. Just before he got home from work she washed the dishes that she wanted to keep, ie her coffee cup, a special tea cup and few other things that only she used and left the 'normal' plates and bowls that everyone tended to use.
Hubby got home from work, I pointed out to him what she had done, I was laughing the whole time. Yes, it annoys me when she doesn't do her dishes. She is a grown woman, working full time, living at home and cant be bothered doing her own dishes. She complied in her own way, knowing full well he would not throw out any dishes that we all used as it would affect everyone.
