[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 219536, member: 1991"] Heather, we dealt with the "you never told me" in triplicate. A lot of the problem was, if they were busy concentrating on something else they would answer mechanically, "yeah, sure..." but never really would it sink in. So we began leaving Post-It notes. Now there's no excuse. we have a permanent one on the side of the microwave oven which says "empty dishwasher" and when it's stuck there and the dishwasher is not running, then we all have to pitch in to empty it. Mostly we want difficult child 3 to empty it, but sometimes we'll do it together or I will do it (especially if he is legitimately busy on something I don't want to interrupt). For a while the house was papered in yellow post-it notes - "have your bath", "feed the hens", "water the garden". It's not a cure, it's not the answer, it's just a slightly simpler way to get through, for a while, in this area. Marg [/QUOTE]
