I'm warning you. You started this... I...Okay. I'm warning you. You started this... If I go on till the cows come home it's all your fault! Loader gets priority. Yes, as a matter of fact I am the loader. The dishwasher instruction manual says an assortment of silverware should be placed business end up in each section of the basket to make sure they don't stick together. Pointy end of sharp knives go down so I don't cut myself (because when not 7 months pregnant I am usually the unloader too). If you are "helping" me by loading it up pay attention to how you are loading it... no, not all racks are created equal, the cereal bowls don't need a wasted slot between them if you put them in the right place. I'd rather load it up so it's F.U.L.L and have to put a thing or two through again than put it on leaving gaps all over the place and having 5 million dishes still in the sink that will need another 3 of your half full loads to finish up. Pots DO NOT take priority, I can scrub a pot quickly if I happen to need it to cook... it's easier than washing the 4 plates, 4 bowls and half a dozen cups that we definitely do need that could have fitted in that spot in the dishwasher. I am having trouble UNloading the dishwasher with my big fat baby belly, it is of no help to me if you load the dishwasher which I can still do and then leave it all sitting in there until I go mental about it and you get upset that you were just trying to help.<br /><br />Now don't even get me started about how to fold clothes... Can I take your appointment with Dr Phil? You know, if you are going to cancel it anyway...<br /><br />I know I don't sound grateful but I am. I try to remind myself that help is help, at least it's not me doing it. But I do get a bit funny about the way the dishwasher is loaded... I plan on teaching the slaves, er, um, I mean the kids the right way to do it when they are old enough... by that I mean MY way.Mummy McTavishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971283362730213835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527176080820870950.post-22680762695893249172009-07-14T08:46:18.822-05:002009-07-14T08:46:18.822-05:00You just made me laugh outloud.

I love that your husband has some ninja ways about him--even if it does drive you crazy when it is time to unload the dishwasher.<br /><br />I vote the "loader" trumps everyone else at any given time. Because, I am all about getting it DONE!!!<br /><br />Man, can I relate to helping the child with a task for 10 min. that would only take me 30 seconds...so frustrating, yet so necessary!<br /><br />Mrs. Nurse BoyMr. and Mrs. Nurse Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717397125661709072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527176080820870950.post-57341640082677869842009-07-13T22:37:37.822-05:002009-07-13T22:37:37.822-05:00I made my husband read your post.

It drives me crazy how he loads the dishwasher all catty whompus (sp?) and therefore only 3/4 full. He hates hearing me correct him. So I wash and load and he unloads. Works for us! :)Jill @ Sneaky Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10480450274000410668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527176080820870950.post-59181888056307814122009-07-13T19:23:00.169-05:002009-07-13T19:23:00.169-05:00I'm so glad you've begun to grapple with t...I'm so glad you've begun to grapple with the truly important things in life. Silverware - business end up or down in the dishwasher means that somewhere in my youth or childhood (as a mother) I must have done something good! (Also the mother's curse I wished on you when you were 16 and I had to excavate your room has finally come home to roost!)Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12896884127344955576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527176080820870950.post-22773141978536852632009-07-13T13:10:01.899-05:002009-07-13T13:10:01.899-05:00Just never do the dishes PERIOD, then you'll n...Just never do the dishes PERIOD, then you'll never have to worry about it. :)The Domestic Flunkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11015196060833447164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527176080820870950.post-43869548503259424082009-07-13T13:06:49.249-05:002009-07-13T13:06:49.249-05:00I am seriously laughing my ass off as I get caught...I am seriously laughing my ass off as I get caught up on all of the fantastic blog posts that I have missed on your site this morning.<br /><br />1) Giancarlo adores the Rain Forest Cafe. Although in our house, it is referred to as the Cafe-fen-nay, with three syllables, rather than one. He gets excited just seeing the commercial.<br /><br />2) There was not a single reflection that I did not agree with you on from MJ's funeral. Not a single one. However, consider this: Where was Miss Janet Jackson (Ms. Jackson, if you are nasty) during said ceremony? <br /><br />3) 36 is the sexiest age alive? Damn! I still have two years until I turn the big 3-6 and I need that Big City Slider.<br /><br />4) There is only one way to load the dishwasher. I am thrilled to read that you are using the proper method. Business ends up, if you please.<br /><br />xoxo<br /><br />Francesca3 Bay B Chickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17900160137075495724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527176080820870950.post-10137640351446699882009-07-13T09:58:00.058-05:002009-07-13T09:58:00.058-05:00I had no idea that there were different ways to lo...I had no idea that there were different ways to load or unload!

Or, you could just take turns; when you load, you also unload so it's done your way both times. Then, it's his turn and he does both...? <br /><br />All I know is that when I'm married it'll be my husband's job to take out the garbage.
