They are driving me nutz!!!!

Mealtimes are particularly stressfull for me as 1) I hate cooking 2) I have to cater for two extremely picky vegetarians (long story there) and 3) they never seem to appreciate what I put in front of them anyway. We have a dishwasher that we use quite a lot, washing up for seven is just too much sometimes, but they always have to wash their cups and breakfast things. So at lunch today they had rolls on dirty plates because they had clearly not done a good job the previous day. I am sick and tired of keep telling them that it is unhygenic and lazy, a simple bit of washing up, warm water, liquid, not tricky is it. So tonight rather than tip out the cold water that they washed up with at lunchtime and left in the sink, they left the bowl on the side and rinsed cups under the tap!! I'm fully aware that this sounds so petty but they really are taking the p*ss. I just seem to be nagging and nagging and they just keep taking and taking. Sorry for rant, will pour another glass of wine!
