Ah. I was wondering what was going on that you were feeling
sort of pushed around by your wife and your MIL. Sorry if I
made a bad choice of words. Seemed like I was missing
something.

I'm sorry whatever it is happened to you. I'm sure it hasn't been
fun for any of you.

As far as the dishwasher goes, I try to run it when it is full.
But, if the glasses I use are all dirty, or there aren't any
forks left ... whatever ... I run the dishwasher regardless of
how full it is. That's just my rule. As Queen.
