Avoid Controversy Over Who Prepares Food by Making It a Competition
Washing the dishes is not a difficult job, but for some reason no one wants to do it. By creating competition with something at stake, everyone in the family may want to put in an effort.
Whether you’re living with your significant other, family, or just roommates, there are ways to keep your sink from overflowing. Ariel Knutson of The Kitchn invites you to be competitive in every:
This evening – preferably before or during dinner – decide that dishwashing will be a competition in your relationship. Offer the one who cooks the most dishes this week will receive a special prize …
The prize can be anything from choosing a movie on movie night to the last ice cream sandwich. Create your own rules and find what motivates everyone, then follow them. Of course, you can always follow the golden rule: Whoever prepares food shouldn’t eat, but it’s much more fun.
