In our house it used to be the same thing every day: dishes pile up in the sink, someone says “I’ll do it later,” and then it slowly turns into stress.What fixed it was super simple. We just put dirty dishes straight into the dishwasher as we use them. At night we run it. In the morning we empty it completely so it’s ready again. Since doing that, the kitchen stays clean, nobody argues about whose turn it is, and it doesn’t feel like one person is always stuck doing the cleanup.
