Both working from home and keeping the sixteen month old home from daycare...there have never been more dishes used in this house in our entire lives. I'm constantly doing dishes and run the dishwasher at least once a day. (I know, I know...she should be running once a day anyway.) But she just never stops making it worse. The kid is eating real food these days, but needs it all cut up into bite size pieces. I get it, no problem.
This morning she used a roughly 7" chef's knife to cut up a microwaved waffle for the kid. Both cutting board and knife have been sitting on the kitchen island since 8am. Neither seem particularly dirty. Lunch comes around and she then apparently pulled out a 9" carving knife (like we would use on Thanksgiving) and a whole new cutting board to cut up the kid's turkey sandwich. They are both now sitting next to the previously barely used knife and cutting board. WTF? Can she not see them? Did it need a whole new giant knife? Is it physically impossible for her to clean these and put them away when she's done? I just don't understand.
