Battle Of Wills...
38 Answers
I'm currently in a battle of wills with Mr P over the emptying of the dishwasher. It's supposed to be one of his jobs, but I can't even remember the last time he did it.
So, it was on yesterday and finished it's cycle last night. I switched it of and opened it to dry. The dishes are still in there... I'm determined to leave it until he empties it.
Dirty dishes are now piling up on the worktop above the dishwasher, the sink is full and we're running out of cutlery.
Does anyone else indulge in silly battles like this with their significant other?

Methyl, you can get tablets that preclude the need for salt. What are you, the dishwasher police?

It's not that he's lazy or sexist, he has an appalling memory and forgets that it needs emptied. I'm hoping if he spots the piles of dishes he might think to look.
I think he's just been used to his mother doing it all and not complaining, and to an extent I can be guilty of just doing stuff because I can't stand the mess. Just trying to retrain him! Do you think I could get him an electric collar?
