so my mom has this wonderful habit of telling me to do the dishes at nine at fucking night

she has even told me to do them at midnight before

i'm kind of like:

then when I say, 'mom, it's late, can't I do it in the morning?' she goes on a tirade about how she was working all day (today she didn't even go to work) and how it's the least I could do. then sometimes when I do do the kitchen, she likes to yell at me about how I didn't do it well enough

seriously, could you not have told me earlier? you know, when it's still light outside? when I'm not half asleep? what the hell this is seriously the most annoying thing she does ever. don't get me wrong I love my mom, but she could at least have a bit better time management.

YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD IT DONE. then this whole problem could have been avoided. >:O

jk that sucks.

Aww! That sucks. If I'm doing the dishes at nine, that's most likely because I procrastinated all day and am finally getting around to it. Ahaha.

that is a very attractive face you should wear it always.

and wtf dishes are pretty loud you should explain to her the concept of not waking the neighbours with clanging and glass tingly sounds.

I've been staying with my boyfriend and his parents. His dad normally doesn't tell me to do them till 2 or 3 in the morning. :|

How often does she ask you to do the dishes?

this is why everyone needs a dishwasher.

i have a dishwasher and my dad is always like THIS DOESN'T GET THEM CLEAN USE YOUR HANDS.

so i do them really crappy so he's forced to use the dishwasher. he's weird. i wanna punch him. ^_^

if it doesn't get the dishes all that clean you're likely just putting too many in at the same time, or your dishwasher/stuff you put in it sucks.

My grandma is old fashioned too though and even though she has a dishwasher she likes to do it in the sink.

I have to basically clean the dishes by hand because our dishwasher SUCKS BALLS.

Seriously. There will be like one noodle left on a bowl and it wont even wash it off.

And there are 9 people living in our house.

So.

lol, i cant even remember the last time i did the dishes. only like, one pot or pan if i really need to use one and theyre all dirty.

the skin on my hands start to chafe whenever i wash dishes (i think its because of the dish soap), so i use that as an excuse to not wash them :D

its kind of a relief when my mother comes over because she washes them all. my brother just chucks them in the dishwasher and that doesnt always work. im very picky about using clean dishware/silverware

LOL my grandma likes to do it in the sink too. she says it soothes her, cause yeah, i'm sure her bottle of vitameatavegamin is just for show.

i lol'd.

Well if she makes you do them when you're half asleep, that could be why they aren't done well enough XD You should tell her that.

FFFFFFUUUUUUU.

Just do a shitty job, and when she asks why you sucked, tell her it's because you were half asleep because she decided to ask you late at night, and that if she wants them done better she should ask you earlier or the next morning. Methinks she's forgetful and lazy... but I could be wrong.

Oddly, I just got done washing dishes. By hand, like always since i am the only one around here that can reliably do them, kidlet's involved w/ other things. I've never owned a dishwasher, i wouldn't know what to do with myself. Offer a compromise, tell her that you'll do them in the morning if she will just trust you and let you be about it, and since it's so late, wouldn't she prefer a quiet evening rather than a clattery one ?

I don't really want a dishwasher, I only have to wash everything like twice a week.... living w/ people is nice, but I grew up w/ seven. Dishes once a day, sometimes twice. I didn't mind 'shrugs'

According to my parents I am the dishwasher. Luckily I don't live with them any more though, I'm still a dishwasher because my friend's place doesn't have one.

It sucks.

we have an amazing dishwasher that is so lovely I'm gonna hack it out and bring it with me when I move :D I hate washing dishes by hand. Nastay.

I'm sorry, but I gotta say, you should have done them earlier. Did you think they were going to wash themselves?

Why would there be unwashed dishes at 9pm or midnight? o.o We wash our dishes right after we eat. Hand washing FTW. I trust dishwashers like I'd trust someone to lick my dishes clean.
