DOH!

Sarah, my son is the same, he has "places" for everything and will put them there. Like, for example. the remote control "belongs" to daddy and lives on the side of Daddy's bed. Not on the base of the teev where it really does belong!

Of course, if your DF thinks the dishes don't get done enough, then that can be his chore
Oh and if you use plastic/tupperware kinda stuff, then you can get your DS2 to wash up too! Mine loves to help!!!! I wash and put everything into the cool water for rinsing and that's his job!
