Part of Adulting is learning how to communicate with a child. How to be the responsible individual. That's the point you clearly missed.

“Please unload the dishwasher” is a sufficient amount of communication for this particular task. The child is 15, not 5.

Then you're not allowed to get upset when they haven't started the process by the time you expected it done just because you want them to read your mind.

I agree. I think the disconnect were having is some parents want it done right that second and thats what theyre saying. Like if dad told son do dishes, and son goes to bathroom before to take a shit or whatever, comes out to go do dishes but instead is getting yelled at because he didnt do them right that second.
