Episode 1: The Sink Saga

Growing up, we NEVER had dirty dishes in our sink. The minute one of us would set something down some fairy would come and either was it or put it in the dishwasher. (fairy: see mother) I never understood her compulsion with having an empty sink…… until today. My entire house could be spotless and 3 dishes in my sink will make me feel like the house is a mess. But I have 3 kids, and my husband, and myself. Having an empty sink is basically unheard of. So I do my best. But sometimes it piles up and my anxiety gets insane, so I hand wash all of it. I also absolutely hate emptying the dishwasher, that has been one of my husbands tasks since the very beginning. I would rather wash a sink full of dishes than empty the clean dishes from the dishwasher. Why? I have no idea, maybe because there is something oddly therapeutic about handwashing dishes? I can’t be the only one who thinks that….. right? What household task do you hate doing? And which do you love?
