Back in 2018, the former tennis player, Navratilova, sat down with Tyler Cowen for an interview, where she talked about many incidents from her life. During that interview, Cowen asked Navratilova about one particular question she asks herself on a regular basis. In reply, Navratilova gave a funny answer.
“I’ve been married now for three years, been with Julia almost 10 years. Her two daughters are 16 and 12. The question I ask myself most often these days is what can I say to them so that they will actually put the dishes in the dishwasher rather than just leave them in the sink?” Navratilova answered.
“I have not solved that riddle. I don’t know. Take away the iPhone? No, that doesn’t work. Driving privileges? No, I don’t know. I’ve run out. Being nice? Give money? I did that too. I paid them,” Navratilova further said about trying many things to get her two daughters to learn.
