Edit: LOL love the responses. You ain’t wrong…
Edit2: I posted this for giggles and have enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for the “parenting advice” (rolls eyes). My daughter is a shit show, but I wouldn’t trade her in for anything. She has three daughters, one of which is exactly like her and the two others are not. So…

My wife refused the dishwasher for months after moving in. Hand wash only.
“It is not clean.”
Fuck I know. Maybe they don’t have good ones in the Philippines? Still trying to deprogram the “tradwife” out of her. 😂 But now she uses it! And sometimes allows me to do our dishes!
Does the machine result in clean dishes? If yes, all good. If not, she dumb, u dumb. You built her
We can rebuild her. We have the technology.
“You’re broken. We are still your friends. Do you still believe that? I’m still here. I will put you back together.”
If containers are not facing down, may not result in clean dishes.
This honestly looks fine. (Assuming this is before the dishwasher has run). There’s not like solid chunks of food or anything just the actual stuff that you own a dishwasher to wash off for you so you don’t have to. The configuration of the dishes is haphazard and chaotic but if you want to fit a lot of dishes it usually ends up that way. The cup and cup like vessels being upside down is a problem but for the most part things are upside down or on their side as they should be. I want the dishwasher to wash dishes for me not the other way around. If you get the occasional dish after a cycle that hasn’t completely cleaned you have to wash it yourself, which sucks, but that doesn’t always happen so there’s a reasonable chance you won’t have to, and when it does happen, it’s still way cleaner than it was so you’re talking a cursory fix up of very few dishes. I’d take that over rinsing each and every one every time or having to hand wash half the load when there’s a lot of dishes in service of a neater stacking configuration that’s optimal but less space efficient.
The problem is that ceramic and glass dishes often chip if they are in contact with each other in the dishwasher.
Do you have a dishwasher or a rock tumbler at home?
Yes.
Ahh yes, the inclusive or. We meet again!
You can tell the people who use plastic dishware in this post.
Animals.
You lost me, can you provide some context?
Plastic dishware doesn’t break on impact with like.
Those who say this is fine seem to not be taking into account the fact of brittle materials touching like here.
Indicating they aren’t aware of the problem, indicating they don’t have brittle dishes.
Or, and this is a stretch but stay with me, their glass/ceramic dishes don’t randomly chip in the dishwasher.
Okay. Stay with me here, cause I guess we’re being contemptuous now.
You asked for context. I provided it.
I was naive to trust you were being genuine. Won’t happen again.
When my colleagues load the dishes haphazardly at work, I find I can fit several more cups, plates, and bowls by reorganizing them neatly.
I guess I should say “appears haphazard” as I don’t know if it really has been stacked with reckless abandon or of it’s a kind of organised chaos as the two tend to look very similar. When your colleagues stack the dishwasher at work, they’re adding to the load a little at a time until there’s literally no room and someone has to run it. In such an instance there’s no particular method to their madness other than fitting their one plate or one cup that they’re personally trying to deal with.
When you’re stacking a full load start to finish you’re stacking with the aim of fitting everything you have from a large load of dishes of which really don’t want to have any left out. In doing so, I at least, find that while one starts with some attempt at being organized, you’ll eventually realise that if you just slightly lift this concave object slightly up so it’s still upside down but not completely, you can squeeze this one awkward shaped small object in next to it, and this large flat but not very deep baking dish for which there is now no room on the bottom shelf will juuust fit if I kind of wedge diagonally a little and over the top some cups and small objects which hopefully will be small enough that some water can get between them and spray up and clean the baking dish. In the end it it can look like you put no thought in to it all but you know that you tesselated a 3d puzzle quite nimbly to squash the maximum possible number of dishes in there and then more often than not, despite all the fretting that certain types have over correct stacking, it ends up coming out much the same as when it’s a lightly stacked load with optimal spacing. It definitely sometimes doesn’t work out that way, but even then, in the absolute worst case scenarios where several dishes, not just one or two, didn’t get all the way clean, you need only then unstack those that did clean fully and the remainders are already stacked ready for another cycle right away or to wait til later to make a fuller but hopefully not as full load.
The dishwasher also reduces clean water usage by a significant amount.
OP admitting to not teaching their kid how to do dishes.
…who gets taught how to do dishes lol. You take a dish, and place it in the logical spot. It’s not advanced physics.
Children do.
You can learn things that your parents do without having them teach you.
Proactivity and common sense.
Not all kids take to their teachers. My parents are clean people. I’m a clean person. One of my sisters fought to never clean as she was taught. And she married someone just like her. So that house is bad sometimes.
Some of y’all need this video. Enjoy.
Yup and the newer one : https://youtu.be/Ll6-eGDpimU?si=hDUzHVjKej_EnkSR
Just teach her about gravity. Dont feel bad - for a lot of people it’s not the first priority.
My daughter is not an adult, she’s a teenager. But it’s her job to put away the dishes. And no matter what I do, she can’t understand that, in the silverware drawer, THE BIG SPOONS GO IN THE BIG SPOON SLOT AND THE LITTLE SPOONS GO IN THE LITTLE SPOON SLOT!
And she thinks this is acceptable.
I understand the compulsion to disown.
My husband is 30 and can’t understand this. And not every pot is meant to be stored in one, large, precariously balanced stack. There’s a whole cabinet there. You can spread them out…
Meanwhile in our house, every pot needs to be precariously balanced in a stack in order to fit in the cupboard.
How precarious? This will blow your mind!
We have 3 pots/pans, A big one, a medium one, and a little one.
Now, and bear with me because I know this is an unorthodox way to stack things, but I think the little pan should go inside the medium pan, and those two should go inside the big pan. It’s crazy, but it just might work.
My partner has other ideas when he stacks them though.
“You aren’t really upset about the spoons.”
Nah, Peggy and me are tight.
But who taught her to load the dish washer?
From you dad! I learned it from you!
Every time my dad has something to say about me I say that.
Who was responsible for raising me again? YOU WERE, you judgemental turd.
Nice! And when you grow up you can use the same excuse when beating up your wife. “Look at what YOU made me do!” Remember kids, it’s aways somebody else’s fault 👍
Funfact: domestic abuse is strongly tied to a previous history of abuse, or simply put, the perpetrators learned to do it while they were the victims, often from their parents.
And in a society where mental health access is practically nonexistent, there aren’t many ways for someone to break the cycle. I guess pretending it’s just a personal failure instead of a societal one is nice because it eliminates any burden on oneself.
That’ll show her…
Where problem?
It’s your fault, accept the shame and teach her.
You can bring a horse to water but can’t make it drink
But don’t whip the horse for not immediately finding the water on its own.
I wouldn’t put it that bluntly… but yeah. OP you can’t shame your child for not knowing something you should have taught her. Teach her, kindly, explaining why things are done a specific way.
Kindly.
I try to help my gf but she gets insanely annoyed at me
Try explaining it very slowly while raising your eyebrows and carefully enunciating.
Also, bring a Flipchart and Crayons, I’ve found that helps a lot.
But don’t be condescending (that means talking down to people)
Shame 🔔🔔🔔
To the shame corner with them!
It’s your fault, time for the late-term abortion
ftfy
Just to be clear it is called a post birth abortion and its really only ethical if they are 10 or less
So like, everybody?
I can’t speak for you, but I’m over 10 years of age.
They don’t learn some things, even if you teach them a 100 times.
Then you’re probably teaching wrong.
Arranging dishes in the dishwasher neatly is only for when there are a lot of dishes that wouldn’t fit otherwise. If there are only a couple of dishes, then it’s whatever, as long as they get clean, it doesn’t matter.
I would encourage you to be more considerate: your daughter is an adult, with her own thoughts and feelings, and her own family. If I were her, I would certainly not appreciate if one of my parent tried to shame me in front of strangers on the Internet over how I load my dishes and threatening to disown me for it, even “as a joke”.
You’re doing just great at shaming yourself to strangers on the internet. Keep it up.
Jon Richardson would probably say yes
I side with Jon 100%, and I do 100% of the dish washing.
But unlike Jon, I’m not married to an absolute head case. He knew what he was getting into.
I’ve never watched his show so only knew of Lucy Beaumont through taskmaster and headcase is what came to mind with how insane some of the things she said was.
We’ve been watching a bunch of British panel shows for years, so we knew she definitely was a character. But taskmaster definitely proved how much of a headcase she really is. She really surprised me that she made it to adulthood.

Am I married to your daughter?
I have created a monster.
The woman I married stuffed the dishwasher like that. Just tossed stuff in, unrinsed. Wherever it would fit and still allow the drawers to close.
I had to clean out the filter twice in one month and asked her to rinse. Bowls would turn over and fill with nasty water, so I asked her to stack them in such a way so they wouldn’t.
The woman I’m married to now has a fucking system. I don’t fully know it and I dare not do it wrong. Meal prep bowls go on top, lids, on the bottom. Forks and spoons have a very specific place and so help you God if you put the sauce pan in the wrong orientation.
Fuckin hell I love that woman
Pre rinsing actually makes the dishwasher do a worse job, a big part of the dishwasher detergent is to latch on to dirt and grime so when the water sprayer comes it can more easily clean it off
If you prerinse there’s a lot less surface area for the detergent to do it’s job. You’re supposed to clean the filter about once a month, so twice isn’t too unusual.
HOWEVER that being said
Just tossed stuff in,
unrinsed. Wherever it would fit and still allow the drawers to close.That’s the unforgivable part
I’m mostly concerned with the large particles of food that couldn’t make it through the filter and just clogged it up. Dishes aren’t going in even remotely clean.
Ah, if they’re large enough to be scrapeable, like beans or pasta, then absolutely scrape into the trashcan/garbage disposal.
But rinsing just takes away too much, I’ve made one exception though and that’s with spaghetti, idk what it is maybe the combination of tomato sauce and pasta but if I don’t rinse in that situation everything is just nasty after the cycle
Why would you put clean dishes in the dishwasher?
Why does the guy at the automatic car wash hit my car with a pressurized hose before entering?
Beacuse they are wasting water? That doesn’t happen where I live.
Or am I?
My wife does this, and I’m just like, “…wtf is your problem?”
Believe it or not its the opposite for me. I help take care of my elderly parents keep them independent and they both do this. I am compelled to physically take dishes out and rearrange them to reclaim like a second loads worth of wasted space. Some days I’m also tempted to disown them!
