You know, competence is sexy-- but for those of us with offspring, it's often hard to see the competence beneath the blanket of stuff one can't do.
For instance, you cite 'people who leave dishes in the sink' as not being real adults. I left a sink full of dishes (and a washer full of clean dishes) downstairs so I could come up and bathe the kid and then put laundry away for the kids and myself.
And I wonder, when my husband comes in, will he see the dishes I didn't do as a sign I don't love him, or the laundry put away and clean daughter as a sign that I do...?
