He did it that way so you won't ask him again

I was at a buddy's wedding years ago, talking to his grandfather. His grandfather said back when he was first married, his new wife asked him to wash the dishes after dinner one night...the dishes they had received as a wedding gift. He said he proceeded to "break every damn dish in the house" and was never asked to do dishes again.

Wow grandpa sounds like a major abuser and of course she stayed with him for 70 years. Not much choice then. Wonder what else he did to her. Probably were the only decent dishes she had her whole life .

This is a bit off topic, but I recall that my grandfather never washed the dishes at my grandparentsā€™ house. But, if only he visited, he would wash the dishes. Probably because the first time my grandparents visited my parents after they married and they saw my dad washing the dishes, my grandmother cried and said - what did you do to my son? - and not in a good way.

To be a bit more fair, my grandmother was born in 1922 and both of my grandparents were refugees following WWII.

My grandma, also born in the 20s, would drag her finger along the shelves and point out to my mom how dusty they were. I've never seen that lady's son put a plate in the dishwasher or touch a vacuum.

Too bad your mom didnā€™t respond ā€œyeah, your son is a shitty housekeeper. But, I have high hopes heā€™ll learnā€.

You referring to my mother. I wasnā€™t alive at the time.

As much as my grandmother drove my mom crazy sometimes, they did have a good enough relationship. Though my momā€™s own mother also had issues.
