Parenting grown ass people is an undervalued market, please capitalise.

If you suffer back pain, a tip: open the cabinet under the sink, and lift and put one foot up inside for a temporary break. The shift in your pelvis can relieve low back tension.

Thanks for making this! I'm autistic and I have ADHD, and I struggle particularly with sensory issues, breaking down tasks in to steps, and starting tasks. You addressed all of these things in a very clear way. I appreciate this so much!!

Finally someone making dish washing content, it's what the people NEED.

honestly, gloves, shoes, and apron are a game changer for dishes and most other cleaning in general. i also wear a face mask a lot of the time. i didnt realize how much of my aversion to things like dishes come from unpleasant sensations (wet food, wet socks, weird smells or harsh cleaning products) so these really help. plus having a little "outfit" on kinda gets me in a cleaning mindset and makes it easier to get started

"Acknowledge that having dirty dishes means you have made a nourishing meal for you or your loved ones. Try to see this as a privilege." That hit me in a good place I didn't know existed. Thank you shaq, thank you

Not to be like, super dramatic, but this video made me feel like I could be a capable, independent person soon. And that's not something I have really felt until now.

Good reminder that laziness doesn’t exist, people have blocks for reason, and often that reason is simply not knowing how to begin. Thanks for showing us what to do!

When I saw this three years ago it literally changed my life. I want to sincerely thank you for teaching me this because my mum taught me the sink full of water method which I find completely disgusting and messy. I used this method at home as well as in my job as a private chef, where I was rewashing tools over and over but also needed the sink for prep. My clients really appreciated the efficient use of water as well. This is how I am teaching my children to wash dishes and I rave about this method to everyone who comes over for a meal at my house.

BONUS TIPS:
Wash with the hottest water you can handle
Use the last bit of bowlsoap to wipe down kitchen surfaces
Never store your sponge soaking wet
Disinfect your sponge regularly, either in the dishwasher, microwave, or bleach
Call your parents and thank them for raising you

Broke: I hate menial house chores
Woke: Menial house chores is the secret gateway to procrastination with all the other things I have to do

I do all of what you said, but what makes me actually look forward to washing dishes is that I listen to audiobooks while doing it (works with music too I suppose, but wanting to know how the story continues is the stronger motivation for me)

My mom started washing dishes at the age of 11 and did so every day for the rest of her life. Up until I turned 11, she passed that duty onto me. For some reason, I really enjoy washing dishes, and it’s developed into a good habit for me which I’m very grateful of. I’m also the fastest and cleanest dish washer I know, outside of my mom and one roommate I had in college. I washed dishes without gloves for about 7 years and I was completely fine, but after I developed really painful eczema, and realized washing dishes without gloves was making it worse, I had to buy gloves. I love washing dishes without gloves because my bare hands can tell if something is still oily or not, but i adapted quickly through trial and error, checking, and implementing a smell test on dishes I clean. I miss being able to wash the dishes without gloves on, but this keeps me from bleeding onto the dishes XD

"Full of dishes"

Pffft my guy ain't seen a full sink from a professional procrastinator

Depression pro tip: Literally can't stockpile dirty dishes if you only have a few dishes in the first place 😌 Works with laundry too

This is the type of parenting I wish I had. Helpful and guiding about how and why this needs to be done at a young age being taught rather than just arbitrarily being told to do them would make a big difference I think in terms of teaching healthy cleaning habits

I always liked doing dishes. I find it relaxing when warm water is running over you. It's like a junior shower.
