Having your will drawn up professionally by a qualified solicitor is always a sensible precaution,...
The holiday season is upon us, bringing joy, festivities, and, of course, family gatherings. While many of us look forward to the warmth of Christmas celebrations, amongst the happy chaos, the humble dishwasher can become a potential source of marital conflict.
Surprisingly, it’s hard to believe that the state of your dishwasher can impact your marriage as surveys suggest over 31% of women cited "dishwasher etiquette" as a significant cause of marital arguments. The placement of cutlery and the persistent debate over whether to pre-rinse or not may appear trivial, but can accumulate over time, creating tension in relationships and suggesting a lack of consideration, communication, or love.
In the quest to navigate these challenges and uphold the festive spirit in your home, an emerging trend in households could provide a helpful solution.
Many households are now opting for more than one dishwasher. The logic is simple: with two dishwashers, dirty pots need not clutter the kitchen while waiting for the last cycle to finish. It's a practical solution for those who entertain frequently or have large families, eliminating the need to stare at leftover dishes in an open-plan kitchen.
The idea is that having multiple dishwashers can contribute not just to cleanliness but to family bliss, banishing the need to look at leftover dishes in an open-plan kitchen. The danger of course is that multiple dishwashers can lead to multiplied arguments.
This Christmas, consider the dishwasher as a representation of shared responsibilities and cooperation, fostering unity instead of division in your household dynamics. After all, in the grand scheme of things, there are bigger issues to concern yourselves with. So, listen to each other's preferences, stack those plates with care, load the dishwasher with love, and enjoy being together this festive season.
