Dishes

Definition

It’s no wonder so many articles about domestic labor begin and end with dishes—the metaphorical third rail of chores. This cardholder is responsible for washing and drying by hand and/or loading and unloading the dishwasher—for every meal. The upside? Your partner doesn’t get to criticize how you put the plates in the “wrong” way. Re-deal this card often to avoid thrown dishes.

Conception

Dishes are being used, and therefore need to be cleaned

Planning

• Paying special care to specialty items like non-stick and cast-iron items

Execution

• Washing and drying dishes and pots and pans (by hand)
• Loading and unloading dishwasher
• Putting dishes away in proper location

Minimum Standard of Care

Are the dishes appropriately handled? Clean dry and put away on a regular basis? (i.e pans hand-washed if needed)
