If I am down for a day or 2 in pain and not feeling well like I was this past weekend, the house seems to fall apart.
Both of the kitchen sinks are full to the top with dishes, and I didn't dirty any of them!
I just don't understand how the teens can make such a big mess, how the heck do they do it?!
There's about 20 dirty drinking cups, all of the silverware is dirty, bowls, the paper plate holders, it's like every single dish and utensil I own is in the sink and I didn't put them in there!
I barely ate anything at all this weekend, so someone please tell me how the heck 2 teenage boys could have used every single bowl, plate, cup and utensil in this house in just 2 days?!
I need to be able to work more, make way more money so that I can afford to have someone come clean the house and do my dishes like 2 days a week.
That would be freaking awesome to have the house super clean for at least 2 out of the 7 days a week.






Using every dish/utensil in the house...one grown man can do it in a week, too. I honestly don't see what is so hard about washing stuff right after using it, but apparently the male species has not a clue about this.
However, sometimes, when I let the stuff pile up, Mike gets sick of looking at it and does the dishes himself. Sometimes.
Seriously, I think the dirty dish maid is in town here too...heaping pile of dishes. Its been a crazy night here, with open house at school, for almost two hours...and it was only junior high!!! Oh well...the dishes can wait til' tomorrow.
My Son has the same habit, won't use the same cup again..it "HAS" to be clean. I eliminated most of my plastic cups...it seriously does keep the dishes at a minimum...lol.
When I was way younger than your boys it was my responsibility to do the dishes. I couldn't watch tv or talk on the phone if there were any dirty ones in the sink or clean ones to be put away.
At least your teens put the dirty dishes in the sink!
My boys already do almost all of the chores here due to my back problems and my general health, so the dishes is like the 1 thing that I am in control of doing.
Plus, teenage boys just do not do a good job cleaning the silverware.
It's really pretty gross to grab what is supposed to be a clean fork, and you look at it and find that some sort of something is like super glued in the tines.
Yeuck!
