my kids are so bad about bringing their dirty dishes to the sink and not rinsing them off . aw man , kids can be so lazy and do n't like to do what they 're supposed to . have you tried a rewards system to get them to do what they have to , or are they too old for that ? they are to old for that . i do n't have a dishwasher and have told them if they do n't get it together they will be doing the dishes themselves . yes . i say make them do it . maybe take away phones , etc . if they do n't get it together . no excuses for that !
The kids' failure to rinse their dirty dishes and put them in the sink caused surprise.
