Bro, just make the dishwasher your domain and forbid her access. Like the yard. You are in charge of it, and she gets the toilets, laundry and floors.

Does it strike you as weird that we are OCD about dishwasher loading?

My wife has gotten way better at it over the years, she is making my 11 and 9 year old girls do it now.

It is comical watching her fuss them for not loading it properly when that was her not that long ago

fiancée gets determined to mow the yard sometimes, one of the most spastic exercises of insight into how women's brains function that you will ever witness.

Yup. I mowed about 90% of our 1 acre last week including all the tricky parts, string trimming/edging all the beds etc.

She wanted to help and all she had to do was some easy laps and I came out to ejected rows of grass shavings on top of clearly uncut grass and her standing there telling the neighbor how she just finished mowing our entire yard.

Its because the dishwasher is some kind of mystic box that you just stuff dirty dishes in, click a button, and take clean ones out.

Thats basically what my wife told me when I tried to show her how it works. Im sure her explanation sounded good in her head. My explanation probably sounded like the teacher from Charlie Brown in her head.

I gave up. frick it. She loads it and unloads it, and only occasionally complains that we need a new one because her parents dishwasher doesnt have this problem

The only thing I ask her to do is fill it with soapy water in the sink before we turn in for the night and I'll scrub it first thing in the morning. This took years to master for her.

---

I need your technique here because this is a hot topic around these parts. She can't stand to see anything left out overnight so she'll take the pan I've left soaking in the sink 5 minutes later and dump the water out and cram it into the dishwasher.

Every single time

Congrats, I guess, on you not having dishwasher issues.

I have shown the wife enough times that her haphazard methods only utilize about half the available space in the dishwasher, but it will never sink in. I just tell her not to load it and have taught my kids how to properly do it or I do it myself. They shockingly do a much better job.

my wife could teach the class. She will puzzle piece every damn item we have in the kitchen into that thing before starting it. Takes an hour to unload the thing after it runs.
