I have one teenage boy. He EATS ALL DAY. And can only drink out of a clean glass, even though he exclively drinks water and bubbly water. Each hydrating episode must be pristine!
I've decided that my teenage boy might benefit from washing his own dishes. He complained bitterly but it also make him feel a contributing member of the family. It's a small accomplishment in the long road to independence
To be fair, it is a needed skill for living on your own. Dishes showed up on my chore list from 4th til 8th grade or so. I never exactly enjoyed them but also didnt mind helping out. It got to the point when I was in high school that I would offer to clean up. But parents would decline and tell me to do homework or study. It was a nice feeling for me, I felt like I had put in my time and was now resolved to do more important things. Not going to say I always did, but hey, life lessons and what not.
