When a Dominant does wrong

[Netzach]

M loads the dishwasher or whines about how I do it. Subs can be OCD too. Any illusion I have had of details being done my way because I'm in charge is long gone. It's the big things that matter, or else I'd go nuts.

That's how my mother taught me to do dishes. It makes sense, cause then you can stack them better, and things are less likely to fall off the counter and break.

K can be rather anal, but to tell the truth I'm the anal one. It's been remarked on how well my house is organized. Everything has a place. The first time I got sick K, obviously, had to take over the housework. Once, when i was getting better, he'd just done the dishes, and went outside for a smoke. He'd just moved stuff aside on the counter, though, so I started putting it all away. (I'd put something away - then sit down and catch my breath, get up put something else away . . .) Anyway, he came inside to totally clean counters and said "HOW'D YOU DO THAT?' LOL

So true...in those days of old before we had all these inventions for everything, one of the advantages of washing glasses and cups before all else (apart from the obvious) was you then used them to rest the plates on to drain. Truth be told, you could fit a lot more dishes on the sink that way than with the manufactured draining trays with slots for everything.
