Jan 29 2011 Men+Dishes=no doing

How do you get a lazy boyfriend/husband/lover/housemate (that you live with) to do dishes? This is three days' worth of dishes that I have so far refused to do but will do this morning before I go to work--I have to leave at 12:00 for a 1-9:30 shift.



I have done them the last two times that they needed to be done, because I hate having dishes in the sink.
I am an egalitarian in that I DO NOT believe I should go to work, school, and do all the shopping, and make the food, and also clean up the whole house every day.
This is mostly because he does not do the majority of that. I do already, but I can't stand mess in the public side of my life. (My room on the other hand: I don't care if I have to step over stuff to get to bed. That's all I do in there anyway).
So how do I get him to clean the freakin' dishes in between video games and television? We don't even have cable!
So, how do you get them to clean? Anything? Without getting angry and stomping around? (Yeah, I'm trying out this new thing: Don't get angry at everything and maybe I won't die of being a stress-y A-line personality).
