Do your kids wash paltes in your house?

When my husband and I were first married I caught him playing with the dishwater - pouring it back and forth between to glasses, just like a little kid. Clearly no one had ever made him wash dishes before!

Mine will rinse them off but not wash them. We have a dishwasher so I let the appliance take care of the hard work. It hard enough getting them to bus their table so when they at least make it to the sink with their dishes I'm happy. Plus, we use paper plates a lot, it saves on broken dishes. Paper plates, plastic cups, try that and see if you don't feel better.

Oh yes, kids at home are not exempted from washing plates. Well my only son does and he used to be actually the one in charge of the dishes. Now I have grandchildren and nieces in my house always so whenever we eat they take turns in washing the dishes. Even my 5 year old grandchild do wash the dishes together with her 8 year old sister. They enjoy doing the job together. Of course I am teaching them the right way to do it each time because I could see that they still have to learn the right technique. I am patient in teaching them because I want them to learn this chore and all other house chores actually. I don't want them to be lazy like other kids.

Hello Bebs, My son is just five years old, but I am already teaching him to wash the dishes. I want him to learn household chores so that he when time comes that he would be independent he knows how to do things. My brothers who are teenager would always fight on who will wash the dishes. They would always have the reason why not to wash. Take Care and have fun mylotting! redamethyst

Hi, My son is still too young to wash his own plates. Of course, he likes to play with water and he will be happy If I were to ask him to wash plates. But I never let him do it before because he will create messy. I prefer to wash the plates myself or sometimes my husband will help me up. Of course, when my son has grown up and started his primary school, then I will slowly teach him how to wash a plate,make sure to wash it clean. and at least he has to wash his own plate nexttime after finishing his meal.

my kids wash there own dishes....i teach them how and even they know how to cook food especially if im nah at home....and this manner that they use to, they bring it outside like if they stay vacation at the resort or have there meals in there grandparents place.....
