Donna has been getting a bit mad at me for some reason. I have been trying to help her in the evenings by cleaning dishes off and she gets mad. I finally got the hint that cleaning dishes they have in front of them is, in their opinions, rude. Cleaning them while they are on the counter also seems to be against some silly unwritten rule. But when she is putting them in the dishwasher they are there because they are DIRTY and in need of a cleaning, yes? After all it is called a dishwasher, not a “put dishes in this box for fun” machine. So a bunch of the pans, dishes and pots have cooked in food and I decide to help her remove much of the baked on gunk. Of course most normal people would thank you for the help. But nooooooo. I get yelled at and chased off! I should just let her suffer with dirty dishes, or better yet I should let her work herself to the bone trying to scrub the dishes a second time when they come out of the dishwasher.
