If it doesn't fit in the sink: Do the dishes!

hahaha i didn't think of doing dishes as a routine. i admit sometimes i feel real lazy and if it's those big dishes, i tend to leave it alone for a while so long as my hubby is not at home. he's more of a clean freak than me. but i usually do my dishes immediate after lunch or dinner itself. i am the only one doing the dishes. my hubby don't really do them unless, sometimes he's free and has got time to waste. grins but now, i'm preggy so he does them more often for me as i feel real lazy. sweet of him. i dont have to ask him.

My son's job was to load and unload the dishes. It got to the point where I didn't want to look at the dirty dishes in the sink, so I changed his job to unloading - that's my least favorite part anyway. This way I don't have to look at dishes when he's not home to load them, and I don't have to do all that bending unloading the dishwasher. I still have to remind every single day to unload the thing - and more than once. whit

dishwasher is ran minimum of once a day here. you put what ever u dirty in it, i start it before i go to bed.

We have a dishwasher, but I wash dishes by hand more than I use the dishwasher. Dishes get done at least once and up to 3 times a day on most days. More times if I have some toffee to make. Then they get washed more often. I have made 6 batches of toffee a day before, so those dishes get washed every time PLUS the regular dishes.

I am the only one in my family that does the dishes. I do them by hand I do them a couple times a day usuall once in the mornings and once in the evening. I have a dishwasher but have never used it I don't mind doing them by hand and that way I also know they are really clean. My son puts the dishes away though so he does help out with them.

Well as a rule i never wash the dishes but this is more down to being allergic to most washing up liquids even with gloves on. But we do have a routine my three eldest children takes turns in doing the kitchen every day after dinner. Any dishes that dont fit in the dishwasher we insist that they wash up by hand. Mostly they do it with out complaint but sometimes we do have to ask more than once.

I know, that happens here all the time. Mostly because when someone else puts stuff in the dishwasher, they don't stach it right and only get about half the dishes to fit then run it. I tell them how to stack it so that everything fits and you only have to run it once, not twice. Right now I'm very busy at work, so I don't have time to keep up with the dishwasher. I tell them if they just empty it - and put the stuff where it belongs - I can keep filling it. That doesn't usually work too well either...

I find the same thing happening at my house. I seem to be the only one who does the dishes. My stepson will leave the dishes in his room until they are moldy and rotten. Then he will throw them away when I am not looking. He denies it, but where the heck have all my dishes, silverware and containers gone? If and when he moves out, I will give him whatever is left of that stuff and buy myself some brand spanking new kitchenware! I deserve it.

I hand wash the dishes as I am making a meal - that way there are not so many to deal with after wards. one thing that I have implemented is have the hot sudsy water in the sink and when the kids are done eating they can go and wash their own place setting - also any dishes that they use during the rest of the night for snacks etc... they are responsible to wash. this is cutting down in the amount that I have to do at any given time.

I'm the only person that attempts to do dishes in my house so how often they get done often depends on how I feel. Sometimes I do them right after a meal is cooked and other times the sink gets full and the counter tops are covered before I get around to it.

I do the dishes by hand.I do it just after finishing the diner.When you finish your meal ,It's good for your health to do a little excise,so doing dishes is perfect. When you finished it ,you give yoursely a clean and comfortable environment.

I make sure that my dishes are done every time. Having 3 big children makes the job easier for me. I make up a timetable and they will have to follow. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, one mealtime for each child to clear the dishes. As for other times of the day, I will clear it myself. I hate to see something in the sink, even it is a spoon.

I never do it.Our dishes are often done by my mother or my sister on time. I think it is no need to ask others to do it.

I hate seeing dirty dishes fill up the sink all the time so as soon as I dirty something up, I wash it by hand. We don't even use the dishwasher in our family unless we have people over and have dirtied a lot of plates. It'd kind of be a waste of water and energy to me, otherwise.

I have a dishwasher and my sink and counter top is still full of dirty dishes until I put them in the dishwasher. My husband and my step daughter are slobs and if it wasn't for me, the dishes would only get washed when they ran out of dishes and then who knows, they may not get done then either. They would probably just rinse off what they needed. I did complain one day about it to my step daughter so she did the dishes once and sid them with not even half a dishwasher full. What a waste of water and sopa that was. She did this on purpose just to rile me, I know it. lol I have gone away for two weeks to visit my daughter once, and when I got back I couldn't believe the state the kitchen was in. I don't think there was a clean dish or glass anywhere in the cupboards. And since the cupboards were bare I washed them out, too, and did the dishes and put them back in. It took me a day and a half to do them all in the dishwasher. I couldn't wash them by hand because the food was so dry on them I had to do them with super super hot water, so I did them in the dishwasher.
