But I thought he was mucking in? Apparantly he did the dishes on the first night.
Just because he has never done the dishes before doesn´t mean people have the right to criticize him and call him a 'twit'. Poor kid.
It´s an attitude that bugs me - people who cook, clean toilets, iron, etc who think that they are better than those who don´t. Get real.
No, the critcism was based on his attitude with the other answers he gave... perhaps I was a little harsh in using twit, but he obviously expects a maid to do everything for him. All well and good if he is living with his parents, who presumably can afford a maid, but what happens when he goes into the big wide world? That's why parents try to give their children some help in life skills surely??

Yeah, because learning how to wash dishes and clean floors takes years to learn. Think of all that time he´s going to waste in University when he could be studying toilet cleaners and making himself into a worthwhile human being.

Re: shock to the system!!
So, if I am reading your post correctly, what you are saying is that basic life skills are a waste of time and all that is really important is a University degree?

Re: shock to the system!!
If you class cooking and cleaning as basic life skills, then YES! I would trade those for a uni education any day.
