I forgot that you can't teach kids, and that what you have to do is just let them realize the personal utility of proactively emptying the dishwasher.
You should just have kids, never teach them anything and get irritated at them when they don't figure out how to do things when you want.

    Thank you.

    That is exactly how I learned how to feel guilt and shame instead of how to cook and clean.

    You people, who obviously don't have kids, are insufferable. How do you think teaching works? You just tell a kid something and then boom, its learned?

    When you went to school, did the teacher just tell you things and then you perfectly understood them and remembered it? Or did you have exercises, practices, tests, projects.... ya know things to do to apply and possibly fail at?

    Because most people, especially children, domt learn things by just telling them. They domt get it. Until they can relate to it personally. Its the whole "dont touch the stove" part of learning.

    You people obviously live in some fantasy or are complete morons. Take your pick.

    I have kids, they help cook and clean, they're beautiful and I don't abuse them.

    They have perfect grades, and don't have any trouble with authority. They understand that their teachers work for them as much as they work for their teachers.

    Unfortunately, it seems not everyone on this earth can be smart and capable. I am very fortunate to be both and have children who are both as well.

    Not as insufferable as people who actively defend child abuse. There is a reason I chose not to have kids. There are too many victims already.
