Another awkward Moment is- You can't ask your Mom to wash your plate ;p

hi jai, I will let mom do the dishes besides it's not good to wash your hands after you used the computer (old sayings) That's why I did not wash the dishes before I left your place love yah

Hi didi.. It is a lazy daughter who tends to do that. Usually i have no need to do that as my mom or maid washes dishes but if situation raises, i never hesitate to wash my dishes. I think there is nothing wrong on washing our own used stuffs. Have a nice time.

In my childhood, years and years ago, it was put down that book and wash the dihes. Of course it never failed that this happened in one of the most exciting place in the story. What a pain. I would hide my dishes and wash them later, you couldn't slide anything by my Mom. And then there was the guilt, there she was doing my job. Guilt always worked for me.

All seems to be okay here... but there is a glitch in between - mom starts yelling at me when she finds that I havent yet got done with the dirty dishes

many times I wash the vessels, plates in USA and canada to keep myself busy. may be in chennai i may not do this willingly. i have other works to be done in chennai. here no work. so it is fine,

I are telling a story which I face in my day to day life. You are asking your son to do some assignment but due to some of the reasons, they do not do it. Several times Awadhesh asks me not to give market assignments to the son. He is too young and kidnapper in your state Uttar Pradesh (India) are clustered. They are running their kidnapping industry. Sometime I feel an awkward moment but after sometimes I think he is quite right.

i can totally relate to this.. lol and i would not turn my back, i would still go and help her.. but back during my college days i would just turn back and be back in the computer saying i have assignments lol but now, i would grab some plates and help her..

Jai sis, pity to all the mothers who have naughty children. Why you start this discussion? Are you the mother who have to do the cleaning without any help again recently? Pity to you, sis. I ever been in that situation as a child. I was very busy doing my studies and preparing for my exams. But, there are lots of chores that my mother was doing until she don't have the time to wash those dishes. So, my mother asked me to helped her to do the cleaning. But due to answering my friend's phone call, i totally forgotten about my duty. Only when i want to eat my supper then i remembered it. But, when i reached the kitchen, my mother had completed washed them all.Lucky that my mother had washed them already and she didn't angry with me. She only reminded me next time to be more alert and don't forgetful...Now, i am a mother i have to do the cleaning everyday without any help since my child is still a little boy. I am used to it. I only got the time to off from my kitchen when my hubby is free.

I use to do dishes alot . and it was like this do it now not later. or else..and we did not like the or else so we where brought up not to talk back and do as we where told , and when it was said do this , that meant then not later.

Well, if that happens to me with my mom washing the dishes , i would definitely tell her that i will just do the dishes, jaiho. My conscience can't take it that i still have to add to what she's currently washing.

hi, When i was a child (why even before getting married) we had maid who used to wash all the dishes, but interestingly my mother would never allow us to put the dry plates for her to clean. My mother used to ask us to wash it with water and then if need be keep them for the maid to wash. However, we (two of my brothers & sister) used to wash the plates and keep it in the dish rack. Now, with my kids, and no maids, my children do wash it at times and sometimes it is still there till i reach home and enter my kitchen to prepare the dinner. Again they do wash when i am around and they proudly say it as if they achieved something spl.

Ideally, I would tell my mom I'll finish the dishes, apologize, and make it up to her. Realistically, I would turn around, sneak back to my room, and wait awhile to wash my dishes. lol. I would feel bad, but I would feel worse to have her blow her top off at me. Normally I believe if everyone did just their share of things, life would be easier and simpler. I wash my dishes, you wash yours. Too easy. But families do need to all take care of each other and take turns doing the chores. Everyone plays a role in the household and family, and everyone should be happy to do their part.

When I was growing up this didn't happen. I had to wash the dishes or I lost part of my allowance (allowance is a privilege not a right). But now that I am older and I go and visit my parents I would probably just slip the dish in while some one else was doing the dishes

hey jaiho! Am super relate with these post. hahahaha. am actually laughing at it while reading..honestly,am a silly kiddo who hates to wash dishes.. and just prefer to stay in front of the computer.. am always using the word--"later MOOOmmm!" (lol) and still after an hour i still didn't wash the plates.. well, here's the tip. usually i will turn my back and wait for my mom to finish so ONLY my plate i have to wash.. (Hahaha) naughty, right? but am just being honest.. :D

LOL!! this is one of my biggest pet peeves! i hate to walk into my kitchen and see dishes! it makes me totally nuts! my kids will slip the plate in for me to wish and i might get a quick kiss and thanks mom... SMH kids

Hi, It would be better to say sorry and to help mom in finishing her work. I am 54+ and I don't have to work in my childhood. Because I have two elder sisters and my mom and my sister used to do all the work. I didn't have to work. So I don't have the habit of doing household work. Now we have maid to do the work. But when she doesn't come someday I I help my wife in work.

If I were the kid i would say sorry to mom that i forgot to do my dishes and i know that mom will forgive me. i would not want to do that anytime though. i would want to wash the dishes and help my mom. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead

I think in a tiny voice, I will say, "hey mom, let me finish that for you..." with high hopes that she will not scold me. If she did, well I probably deserve it.

I admit, when I was younger than my age today. I am so lazy to do household chores, especially washing the dishes. My mom was so patient enough to deal with me and the other siblings. But now, a total transformation. We used to help mom to do everything at home. It really payed off for her.

Oh oh, yes, yes, no..kid's can't ask me to wash the plate because they knew ill take charge :( So as an excuse, every week i'll make sure i have my new polish-the expensive with nail art!!!
