Red Forman's spirit lives on
Today, my idiot son tried to load the dishwasher while the dishes inside were clean. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste

Today, our dishwasher broke. It's my husband's chore to do the dishes, but he refused to hand-wash them, and instead suggested we take them all up to his mother's for her to put in her dishwasher. FML

Hair care
Today, my shower is being renovated so I washed my hair in the kitchen sink. I put my two year-old son on the counter next to me so I could keep him close. As I was rinsing out my hair, my son started playing with the light switches. He flicked the garbage disposal by accident. FML

Thanks a lot
Today, my boyfriend was serving dinner, and decided to circle the table with my son's plate while making UFO noises. My son grabbed at the plate and spilled it, making a huge mess. They both decided that I should clean it up. FML

Today, I washed the dishes for my mom while she was out, as they seemed to be piling up. I accidentally sliced my hand with a knife in the process. After a trip to the hospital, it was revealed she'd been leaving those dishes there "to teach dad a lesson." FML

RIP my best friend
Today, I put my phone in the dishwasher by accident. I'd left it on the kitchen counter with a bunch of dirty stuff and, distracted, loaded it in with the plates. I only realized it when the dishwasher started making weird noises. My phone was soaked and blinking with bubbles inside. It didn’t survive. FML

Can't win, part 15
Today, while my parents were grocery shopping, I cleaned the kitchen, swept floors, did laundry, and cleaned bathrooms, only to finish right before they got home. After dinner, my dad bitched and complained that I didn't take out the trash and he had no room to throw away his paper plate. FML

I want to smell feet
Today, my idiot son incinerated his shoes in the oven. They were wet and he wanted to "quick-dry" them, so now the whole house smells terrible. FML

Cartoons ruining the kids
Today, my son watched some ridiculous Japanese cartoon about shokugeki cooking and is convinced he's the greatest cook ever by copying what happens in the show. He set fire to my frying pan, panicked, and dumped it in the ceramic sink, which cracked from the heat and flooded my kitchen. FML

Today, I had my son do some chores around the house. I was fairly proud of him for doing it himself, until he told me he accidentally washed his Nintendo in his sheets, and now it doesn’t work. I can’t afford a new one and he now refuses to do chores because, “I did and look what happened!” FML

This Charming Man
Today, I explained to my man child of a boyfriend that we don't reuse dirty dishes. We have to wash them. He doesn't think it's gross and yelled at me, throwing the pan in the sink. Oh, he also refuses to wash dishes. FML

It's always so weird when parents call their kids idiots. You're the reason they're dumb.

If the son is young, he simply needs to be taught. If the son is older, parent failed him. Either way, son is not the idiot here.

Do you have signage of some sort stating if dishes are clean or not? If not, whose the idiot? I have a sign that states clean/dirty. Everyone knows what’s in the dishwasher

They might be "clean" according to your slovenly standards. He just wanted them really, really clean. 33 cycles out to do the trick. That's what I do.

At least your son is trying to help

the fact that-that upset you so much to post it on here and to call him an idiot( which I hope u didn't tell him) shows that your toxic AF!

At least he was loading them at all. You can buy these slider things online that indicate if the dishes are clean or dirty. If it's that big of an issue, get one of those. They're cheap and stick right onto the front of any dishwasher. I don't think he's an idiot in this regard... he'd be an idiot if the dishes were clearly dirty and he proceeded to put them away.
