Edit: LOL love the responses. You ain’t wrong…
Edit2: I posted this for giggles and have enjoyed it immensely. Thanks for the “parenting advice” (rolls eyes). My daughter is a shit show, but I wouldn’t trade her in for anything. She has three daughters, one of which is exactly like her and the two others are not. So…
Nah my mom does the same thing and tells me im wrong. Some people are just tornadoes.
Why are you on Lemmy asking children for parenting advice? Seems like most responses are blaming you as if an adult needs to be taught something as rudimentary as loading a dishwasher. Simple solution, box up all the plates, cups, silverware. Replace with disposable stuff
I don’t think you need to parent an adult child.
Sometimes you do, you don’t stop being a parent after your child turns 18. You can still try and help them especially if you think something this simple has been done wrong. Shaming your child online because of how they load the dishwasher is just stupid.
What a strange sentence
I don’t know the demographics of Lemmy, but children are the minority here…
Comments like these make me feel i never left reddit
Arranging dishes in the dishwasher neatly is only for when there are a lot of dishes that wouldn’t fit otherwise. If there are only a couple of dishes, then it’s whatever, as long as they get clean, it doesn’t matter.
I would encourage you to be more considerate: your daughter is an adult, with her own thoughts and feelings, and her own family. If I were her, I would certainly not appreciate if one of my parent tried to shame me in front of strangers on the Internet over how I load my dishes and threatening to disown me for it, even “as a joke”.
You’re doing just great at shaming yourself to strangers on the internet. Keep it up.
She loaded it, but poorly. Which is a vast improvement on my wifes not loading it at all.
A for effort
Idk I would rather have one wife who did dishes than 2 that didn’t know how to lol
Hmm, depends largely on how hot they are and if they’re into each other.
If they are into each other Im out of a fuckin job. Literally and figuratively.
Sorry Hank, but we’re replacing you with a pair of lesbians.
But I’ve been with this company ten years!
You would get to keep your job as their dishwasher.
I’d rather have one wife than two
Yeah just switch to the wife with dishwash loading skills next time.
Are you me?
That depends, is nobody else in your house capable of carrying a bag out to the bin or breaking down a box before it goes in the recycling?
Pretty much! Unless I prod to the point of starting a fight.
I won’t even let my wife touch the dishwasher. Nobody does it right, but me.
Ah, your wife has discovered the system at our house- let the dishes pile up in the sink until someone can’t take it anymore.

What’s wrong?
You clearly failed as a parent.
It’s your fault, accept the shame and teach her.
You can bring a horse to water but can’t make it drink
But don’t whip the horse for not immediately finding the water on its own.
Or drinking it
Shame 🔔🔔🔔
I try to help my gf but she gets insanely annoyed at me
Try explaining it very slowly while raising your eyebrows and carefully enunciating.

To the shame corner with them!
They don’t learn some things, even if you teach them a 100 times.
Then you’re probably teaching wrong.
It’s your fault, time for the late-term abortion
ftfy
Just to be clear it is called a post birth abortion and its really only ethical if they are 10 or less
So like, everybody?
I can’t speak for you, but I’m over 10 years of age.
Man your daughter is lucky, I don’t even have a dishwasher. I am the dishwasher. I used to have one, but then we moved house.
In the end it doesn’t matter how it’s stacked so long as they come out clean - don’t forget to fill the prewash section with powder, it helps immensely.
OP is lucky. I don’t even have a family.
Ugh, washing dishes in a sink regularly sucks. You have my sympathy.
Does the machine result in clean dishes? If yes, all good. If not, she dumb, u dumb. You built her
If containers are not facing down, may not result in clean dishes.
We can rebuild her. We have the technology.
This honestly looks fine. (Assuming this is before the dishwasher has run). There’s not like solid chunks of food or anything just the actual stuff that you own a dishwasher to wash off for you so you don’t have to. The configuration of the dishes is haphazard and chaotic but if you want to fit a lot of dishes it usually ends up that way. The cup and cup like vessels not being upside down is a problem but for the most part things are upside down or on their side as they should be. I want the dishwasher to wash dishes for me not the other way around. If you get the occasional dish after a cycle that hasn’t completely cleaned you have to wash it yourself, which sucks, but that doesn’t always happen so there’s a reasonable chance you won’t have to, and when it does happen, it’s still way cleaner than it was so you’re talking a cursory fix up of very few dishes. I’d take that over rinsing each and every one every time or having to hand wash half the load when there’s a lot of dishes in service of a neater stacking configuration that’s optimal but less space efficient.
The problem is that ceramic and glass dishes often chip if they are in contact with each other in the dishwasher.

Do you have a dishwasher or a rock tumbler at home?
You can tell the people who use plastic dishware in this post.
Animals.
You lost me, can you provide some context?
Plastic dishware doesn’t break on impact with like.
Those who say this is fine seem to not be taking into account the fact of brittle materials touching like here.
Indicating they aren’t aware of the problem, indicating they don’t have brittle dishes.
Or, and this is a stretch but stay with me, their glass/ceramic dishes don’t randomly chip in the dishwasher.
Okay. Stay with me here, cause I guess we’re being contemptuous now.
You asked for context. I provided it.
I was naive to trust you were being genuine. Won’t happen again.
Yes.
Ahh yes, the inclusive or. We meet again!
When my colleagues load the dishes haphazardly at work, I find I can fit several more cups, plates, and bowls by reorganizing them neatly.
I guess I should say “appears haphazard” as I don’t know if it really has been stacked with reckless abandon or of it’s a kind of organised chaos as the two tend to look very similar. When your colleagues stack the dishwasher at work, they’re adding to the load a little at a time until there’s literally no room and someone has to run it. In such an instance there’s no particular method to their madness other than fitting their one plate or one cup that they’re personally trying to deal with.
When you’re stacking a full load start to finish you’re stacking with the aim of fitting everything you have from a large load of dishes of which really don’t want to have any left out. In doing so, I at least, find that while one starts with some attempt at being organized, you’ll eventually realise that if you just slightly lift this concave object slightly up so it’s still upside down but not completely, you can squeeze this one awkward shaped small object in next to it, and this large flat but not very deep baking dish for which there is now no room on the bottom shelf will juuust fit if I kind of wedge diagonally a little and over the top some cups and small objects which hopefully will be small enough that some water can get between them and spray up and clean the baking dish. In the end it it can look like you put no thought in to it all but you know that you tesselated a 3d puzzle quite nimbly to squash the maximum possible number of dishes in there and then more often than not, despite all the fretting that certain types have over correct stacking, it ends up coming out much the same as when it’s a lightly stacked load with optimal spacing. It definitely sometimes doesn’t work out that way, but even then, in the absolute worst case scenarios where several dishes, not just one or two, didn’t get all the way clean, you need only then unstack those that did clean fully and the remainders are already stacked ready for another cycle right away or to wait til later to make a fuller but hopefully not as full load.
The dishwasher also reduces clean water usage by a significant amount.
