When I visit her, I am meticulous about loading her dishwasher.
I practically wash all the dishes first and line it all up beautifully in the DW.

Then my aunt comes along and shakes her head and says you kids (I am in my 70's)
cannot load a DW, and she takes it all out and does it over. All while she is on her walker.

She has a great sense of humor and sharp as a tack and I tell her it is my life goal
to load the DW to her specifications and it was a thrill to be called a kid again.
We have a good laugh about it.

I ask him, did you throw these dishes in from across the room?

I saw a thread earlier today titled "Why is it that my otherwise chill father is so neurotic over how I load the dishwasher." So now I know the connection!

about the dishwasher being loaded wrong. I didn't have to do it, all is good.

Your daughter doesn't have spatial reasoning skills.
