my kids will bring their dirty dishes in and put them in the sink without washing them off. we do not have a dishwasher and i have to end up scrubbing those by hand. it drives me nuts.
yes. i say make them do it. maybe take away phones, etc. if they do not get it together. no excuses for that!
they are to old for that. i do not have a dishwasher and have told them if they do not get it together they will be doing the dishes themselves.
