Adult daughter. Should I disown her!?

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 almost adult son once tried to convince me that dishwashers work better when the dishes aren’t rinsed first.

I watched this video a long time ago which I thought explained this really well. youtu.be/_rBO8neWw04

Sir/maam, you’ve raised a Psychopath.

This thread is full of clearly basement dwelling non parents. So many AKctually it hurts from laughing.

Exactly the people.who should be made to do manual.labor

I live in a dry climate and very tightly meter my water usage and running the dishwasher twice uses less water than doing it once by hand unless I am extremely careful and use a single basin of water and a rag to rinse. That takes longer and is extremely annoying to do.

Faresh ,

Maybe she never used a dishwasher and has only done dishes manually heretofore?

boatswain ,

That’s me. I’ve only lived in one apartment with a dishwasher, and that was only for a year. We just used it as storage for pots and pans. My folks have a dishwasher now, but any time I go visit them I just wash stuff by hand, at least partly because I don’t know how to dishwasher.

Aggravationstation ,

Same here. I have no idea what the issue is.

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!

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.

scarabic ,

Just teach her about gravity. Dont feel bad - for a lot of people it’s not the first priority.

These are the kinds of people who go on the Internet and claim that dishwashers don’t work very well.

When I was 23 I moved into a sharehouse that had a dishwasher, I lived there over a year before I saw it, it had a false cabinet so it blended in. I’d always just washed my dishes in the sink and I keep all my dishes, cutlery and pans separate in a tub in the pantry because I have allergies. I’d never used a dishwasher before.

I googled how to use a dishwasher because I didn’t want to be the 20 year old that can’t do basic chores. I read the user manual and looked for the filters and catchment drains. They were filthy so I cleaned them, then followed the stacking guide in the user manual and ran it with a full load of my housemates dishes.

I was very impressed with how clean they came out.

I mentioned it to a housemate who found it very amusing I’d only just discovered the dishwasher, he warned me that it was old and broken and not a very good dishwasher so the few housemates that use it were actually talking about splitting the cost of a replacement if I wanted to get in on it.

Why? When the dishwasher was working perfectly.

All 7 of my housemates flooded into the kitchen to assess the cleanliness of the dishes because no one believed me that the dishwasher worked.

Turns out in the 7 years the house had been used for student housing since the landlords son took over as head tenant, not a single one of the rotating cast of 8 housemates had ever cleaned the secondary catchment filter, and only rarely did someone remember to clean the main filter.

Turns out the dishwasher works great when you remove the months worth of old rotten corn building up in the filter, and drain off the 7 years of muck that’s blocking the greywater outlet flow.

My housemates will still say I stack the dishwasher like a sociopath, but I learned from the user manual so I don’t care, the dishes are clean.

I’m not like that but sometimes I throw two or three things on top of everything and everything gets clean. My only problem with her organization is it’s not efficient, the machine would hold double the amount of dishes

Coreidan ,

Or just educate her.

Unmindful5248 ,

This triggers me in so many ways.

DrMango ,

But who taught her to load the dish washer?

Stanwich ,

From you dad! I learned it from you!

Rodeo ,

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.

headset ,

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.

Make her clean those dishes manually. “Daughter, meet sponge, soap and faucet.”
