ADD husband has to pack the dishwasher a certain way, frustrating to me as I just want to get the job DONE as quickly as possible.
We have it down to this:
- Dishwasher has to be emptied before any meals are started (I do the dishes & glasses, he does the cutlery)
- Dishwasher has to be filled right after the meal (he prefers filling it himself but I at least get them there so he can fiddle)
- Start the dishwasher after 7 pm to take advantage of reduced energy costs
We both hate this job but forcing ourselves to do it together and tying it to mealtimes is working for us.
He still occasionally tries to put the dishes away in the fridge or some weird place!
