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...

  1. Thank your daughter for helping you with chores.
  2. Bring her to the mess and let her see it for herself.
  3. Kindly ask her why she thinks it turned out that way.
  4. Ask her what she thinks she can do avoid this kind of thing next time. (This is your opportunity to explain to her how to do things.)
  5. Kindly ask her to do it again, correctly. (Consider doing it together)
  6. Tell her she’s awesome for helping out, and that you really appreciate it.

Never be angry. Be patient and supportive. Don’t let frustration escalate.

All this plus I think it's important to say to first: be EXTREMELY careful if you feel the need to critique or criticize someone who is being helpful. Really think about if it's worth it. If what they're doing really isn't helping anything then maybe it's worth it!

BUT if you just think they could do it better or if they aren't doing it how you would do it, then think again. You might end up simply discouraging a helpful attitude that would have figured things out on their own if you had just given them a bit of vague encouragement and time.

Right? Is this post wash, and still looking like this, or is this pre-wash?

I am neurodivergent, and really struggle with dishes. Touching other peoples leftover food absolutely disgusts me and it takes a lot of mental effort to do a load of dishes. No one in the house cleans their shit, they just dump it in the sink, and there is nasty stagnant water, left over whole-ass meals, chunks of food floating in gross, opaque liquids.....

I almost threw up just from this description.

If I do a load of dishes, I have adopted the reality that some shit will have to be ran through twice. I'm not aiming for perfect, I'm just trying to get it done.

It’s definitely pre-wash. The pink tub would have collected water otherwise.

In any case, it’s overful. A simple “hey, thanks for doing that, but if we fill too much, it struggles. We can run it more often if we need to, but I really appreciate the effort!” Is probably sufficient to the cause,

overfull

You could definitely fit those things in there. There are blank spots.

The e bowls need to stand much more vertical so you can clean multiple at a time. If you stand them right - they don't take much more room than plates.
