No man has ever been stabbed in the back while doing the dishes.

As long as you're not breaking stuff while cleaning!

My ex, and one of the reasons he's an ex, had a philosophy about housework he didn't want to do;

"If you do a real shitty job, break a few favorite dishes, they'll stop asking you to do those chores."

That would be the one exception.

A few years back, I made my teenage son help me load the dishwasher instead of just sitting on his ass. He did, but he made sure he did a lousy job of it, and after a couple of broken glasses, and a new dishwasher, I gave him other things to do instead.
