We are not awarded points simply for letting dishes get clean by soaking them in the sink. This is actually new to me; I just learned it. Let’s say you put all of the plates and forks and knives in the dishwasher. Obviously the lasagna pyrex would take more than a few minutes of scrubbing so the simple solution is to let is soak overnight. You leave it filled with water and some soap in the sink, right? (And hand soap is fine, even though she thinks there is a difference between hand and dish soap.) Then you have done a wonderful job completely cleaning up from dinner; she’ll be so happy. But here is the response: “Do you want me to finish what you started?” C’mon, you’ve done it all, really. No, I guess not. If the sink is not completely cleared and clean, you’ll receive no points.
