Interesting that it's your dad's "job" to empty the dish washer. He's supporting the family. That's a pretty big job right there.

Just curious, but do you have any jobs around the house?
I understand he's stressed, but right now I think the majority of the household income comes from Mom now as he's got a job as a contractor who was hired by a second company to work for yet another. He only gets paid for how many hours he's at work, and doesn't have any benifits.

He has a problem, and I admit I slacked off a bit that day, but I usually have my dishes in the dishwasher, which I run at night. I also wipe down the counters in the kitchen whenever I use them to prepare food for either myself or the dogs and try to keep things tidy as possible in there. Saturday was sort of an off day for me.

He also was trying to rush me through the cleaning, bearing down on me and not letting up for even a second so I could collect my thoughts and breathe. I don't handle being rushed well at all. I get all panicky, frustrated and upset. I need at least a minute or two to access the situation and see what needs to be done before I tackle something like cleaning.

I'm sorry I come across as being entitled and all here, but honestly his attitude rubbed me the wrong way last night.
