My mil passed out on easter. She ok, she was just dehydrated, but she was supposed to watch our niece(her granddaughter) for spring break. We live a good hour away, so i went up to visit my mom who lives by her, and watched the niece on wednesday, thursday and friday. I stayed friday night because i had tickets to a baseball game and came home saturday (today).
There was a huge backlog of dishes (my dh is supposed to do the dishes, i'm supposed to cook), and i asked my dh if he would PLEASE do the dishes while i was gone. this dishes have been needed to be done for 3 weeks(i think its been much longer, but i'll be generous and say 3 weeks), or rather for ATLEAST the last three weeks 50-75% of the dishes we own have needed to be done, to the point where there has been NO glasses left.
I came home to find atleast 15 glasses undone (just went to count them) and a sink full of silverwear.
During the time i was gone my dh did do some of the dishes, but i'm enraged that they aren't all done. He did nothing the three days i was gone but play everquest, and do the few dishes he did do (and find himself something to eat). He did no other productive work but the FEW dishes he did do.
I got quite upset with him, and he's upset i'm not excited about 'all the dishes he did do'. So his solution is to lay in the other room and not do anything, which only makes me MORE mad.
To be fair, i've been bad about household tasks too, but what really upsets me is that i did a huge favor for his family, and he couldn't do this little one for me. That the WHOLE time i was gone he played this computer game. (and to make matters worse there is another computer game that he wants to get that will take up just as much time, we had a huge fight over that in the store the other day, but that another issue).
I don't know what do to! (i'm on and off the computer at the moment working on the dishes because i'm SICK of them not being done)

I too can't imagine 3 weeks worth of dishes
I agree.....no food gets cooked unless the dishes get done! I bet when he gets hungry enough he'll start washing!
I hope! I cannot imagine dirty dishes in my sink for more than two days and I am not kidding! We are a family of three and our silverware is service for eight, so if we have dinner three nights in a row, the clean silverware is used up. This actually happens to us now and again. And the plates/bowls/glasses are similar in proportion. I am sorry, but I just cannot comprehend 21 days....Plus I have to admit that dirty dishes in the sink are a pet peeve of mine and I will move them out no matter what!
