He Throws The Dishes Away So He Doesn't Have To Wash Them

It sounds as if his parents are reaping what they've sown! If you spoil your precious little prince or princess, you can't expect to end up with a pleasant teenager. And some parents don't seem to understand that their job is to equip their kids as much as is possible to go out into the big, bad world, and start living their life responsibly. I agree with what others have said, they should hold him responsible in some way: perhaps stating a regimen whereby he gets fined each and every time someone has to pick up after him, or go and get the things out of the trash.

i don't understand why ur cousin has to do that. doesn't he understand that he needs to clean it for the next meal? if he is too lazy to do this, he might as well eat on paper plates and plastic spoons and forks. that way, he doesn't neet to wash them but thrown them away. i think children need to help in the house work. we need to train them when they are still young so that they will get used to household chores, which will surely help them when they have their own families. has it something to do with our discipline on children that others are misbehaving? just asking...

Lol...my teenage son went through this phase. At first he would hide them. When I started getting bugs, I found the dirty dishes. Needless to say my teenage son stopped doing that after I had my say. He than started throwing things away or breaking them. The only way to stop him from doing it is by making the teen get the dishes out of the trash and make him wash them while his parents or another adult watches. As of right now things will not change. The teen has no reason to. As his parents are enabling him to be lazy and throw the dishes away.

I tend to blame the parents also when I read something like this. I don't know any kid at that age that would do such a thing and even think he could get away with it. It sounds as if maybe he's gotten away with doing just whatever he feels all his life knowing that the most that will happen is that mom will yell for a little bit and then it will be done with. I don't think his parents should pull the dishes from the trash. I think they should stay right there and demand that he pull them out and wash them. If it takes all night...it takes all night. I would not let that kid out of the kitchen until he did what he was supposed to do.

[i]Throw them away i guess the dishes are of paper and croc to throw them, how can one cost to throw them. I have to get up every single morning to wash the whole of my basin filled with dirty dishes, and its so much irritating and fussy to wash your dishes every day.Sometimes even i feel like throwing them away which is then so much impossible am not lucky like the cousin.[/i]

He definitely is very lazy I do not understand why he just does not put them in the sink instead of the trash. His parents could get them out of the trash or have him do it. Maybe someone needs to tell him that you do not throw dishes in trash unless they are paper plates. Is washing dishes a chore that he is suppose to do and decided he does not want to anymore so that is why he is throwing them away?

Woah! I think it would be curious to see what would happen if he runs out of plates. What if they assign plates and utensils in the house, hide all the others. That way, they have responsibility for their own plates, they should wash it themselves, and if not, then they won't have anything to use next time. If he thinks he has enough money to buy plates every time, then let him. He'll find out sooner or later that it is still easier to just wash them.

hi shortyAkbar he should have been taught to do the dishes when he was a young kid, and the parents should not let him throw away the dishes,that is dumbness on their part, and just makes him allthe less responsible for helping around the house. little kids usually like to help and if they learn to help at an early age it becomes natural for them to do dishes and dry them and other such chores as they have been brought up that way. shame on the parents.
