You are in the wrong.

Did she make those dirty dishes? Did she eat food that was prepared with those pots, pans, and utensils now in the sink - ate that food before you mentioned the dishes? If you answered no to either of these questions, you'd better re-evaluate your expectations. If those were your dirty lunch dishes, you should start doing them yourself. If they are dishes left over from dinner, let her at least take a moment to eat some of the dinner before washing.

She should not have an attitude. You're right.
But how frequently does she get out and spend a day with her friends?

Based on the little you've told us, your actions appear manipulative and misogynistic - expecting a woman to watch the children and take care of all of the chores every single day, questioning her motives when she has secured free childcare, then giving her a hard time about dishes as soon as she walks in the door?

You hurt her. You expect a positive response?
