You just need to put the dishes in and then organize as it fills up. No need to try and organize before you know what all needs to be washed.

I'll add one to this thread.

Before I got married, I never realized it's ok for a woman to complain about anything and everything for hours at a time and god forbid if i try to help in any way or understand why the hell she is so upset that the checkout clerk at michael's mentioned the popularity of a wreath she didnt pick out, but if I bring up one problem i have no matter how important or unrelated then I am an a-hole and that problem is stupid and it's a personal attack on her and i should just keep my mouth shut even though i don't share enough and we never talk even though she talks constantly all day.

This is me and my wife's "Hamburger Hill" battle. She doesn't fricking get it. To her, she would rather allow the house to get completely fricking dirty to where it'll take a combined effort of me and her spending a few hours to clean it up. That is, rather than pick up as you go. Take 30 minutes from sitting on your arse going through facebook and clean the dishes, or fold the clean clothes, or make the kids pick up their toys. Do something! I manage to do it. But when I'm not home, it doesn't get done. Especially if I get pissed and refuse to keep doing it to prove a point. But then my OCD goes haywire and end up doing it anyway because I can't stand a messy/dirty house.

Thanks for bringing that one up, my blood pressure is now high.

Breesus, your marriage is toxic

Truth...although it does keep me from doing laundry because I just throw everything in dryer. Her denim is always drying draped over something in laundry room. I thought mine was the only one.
