wash dishes, what a daily trouble

when I was a young adult, the rules was, who did the cooking didn't to the dishes. But now that I have a family, I am the one that mainly does the cooking and washing the dishes. To me it is the most annoying chore because I get no or little help from my children and husband. The has made me decide to save up and purchase a benchtop dishwasher. I am still happy to do the pots and pans. But to have the dishwasher will assist doing the plates, Knives, forks, and cups. My goal is to hope to have it by christmas this year and to have bought it with all of my online earnings.

Hi canteen, Washing utensils is always a tedious task for me. It is the most hated work too at home. Now the cold weather is going on and my hands are freezing after the job. I am doing myself most of the house chorus. My hubby may help but in summer only, he is also lazy in winter. I will do the work right after the meal otherwise it will be more difficult.

We are so much alike in this aspect. I also enjoy cooking but hate washing the dishes. It is the most boring housework for me. My husband and I will do it in turn so that it will be fair for everybody. I love China

Well, I live by myself, so when nobody comes I have to wash the dishes by myself, but when my boyfriend comes over, when he cooks he usually wash the dishes afterwards I wish I had a dish washer so I would never have to wash them

Well, i used to do the washing right then when i was only in elementary and high school. However, when i am already in college and have my work, my parents did not pursue to do it.. sounds good.. yeah.. lol.. I just hate to smell my hands filled with dish washing liquid..It is kind of messy.. But still i get pity with my sisters.. They have to do it.. Well, not a big deal for our family..

I think it is a common problem in every household. My children love to eat but very lazy to wash dishes. In that case my husband do the washing so that there will be no arguments. I love to cook but not washing dishes.

I don't mind washing dishes. If you need clean dishes, then you have to wash them is how I see it.

Dishes are a pain in the butt. We have a dishwasher but I don't always use it, especially if I only have a few things to take care of. I usually take care of anything I use during the day, my son cleans up after dinner and anything that HE uses - or he is supposed to. I like for things to be take care of as close to right away as possible because things are easier to wash. If things sit overnight or all day, it is twice as hard UNLESS you let everything soak in water. I also really dislike looking at dishes.

When I was still active with my work, I never washes the dishes, as I'm always out of the house. Now that my children grew up and already working, I'm the one always left at the house so I have to do the job. My eldest daughter is with me but she has two young kids so has the reason of not touching the dishes. I love and always take care of her kids as well, so sometimes there's an issue as well when it comes to who will wash the dishes.

ya taht's areally a very big problem. go to the market ,buy vegetables and then wash it properly with water.it's really a trouble but that trouble one must have to take for keeping us free from diseases like malaria,jaundince,typhoid and various such type of diseases.

Canteen, Have him cook for a while, and you clean the dishes. If that doesn't work due to schedules and he still won't help out, then either use paper cups and plates with palstic spoons and forks or just get another boy friend. There are more males than females in China, and I think he should wise up. Good Luck

My wife hates utensils packing-up on the sink. She made it a rule to every member of the family to immediately wash plates, spoons, cups and the like after each use ( or else!). We love to cooked too, but making it sure that all the utensils were washed after each cooking.

When im asked i do the dishes willingly but usually its my mum and sometimes my dad. It is quite a pain i think, seem to take forever when i do them but i like to get them spotless :D we do have a dishwasher but we only really use that when we have loads of dirty stuff, which is usually when we have guests :D but the dishwasher takes a while to load anyways

My cousin would do the cooking and I do the dishes. But, to save water and dishwashing soap, I would do gather every single dirty plates, fork/spoons, and other items. It would be a joy if we have dishwashing machines here.

Hi Canteen, I think it would be a better advocate that you try to be more creative in coaxing and view washing dishes as an opportunity to enjoy the company and conversation. In the first place, you should not literally hate the doing of dishes here and since you have your boyfriend around, you can suggest that the both of you go about doing the dishes and clearing the table after every meal?Since you may not like to get your hands wet, you may want to stand next to him to dry the wet dishes and at the same time keep each other company with some light conversations. In any relationship, I feel that the both of you need to be ever resourceful and creative on how to find more time for each other. Also, find ways to make chores as enjoyable for the both of you. This is also one aspect and area where the both of you can exercise and perfect the art of give and take which is so vital in the both of you getting along with each other. Take care and have a nice time doing the dishes the next time round.

Hi Canteen . Both Dorcas and I wash them. Sometimes she does it and sometimes I do it. I kind of let her do it after she preps a lot of stuff, like when she was making stuff for Christmas. She knows better where all that stuff belongs. But, one should be glad to do dirty dishes, for God had provided you something to eat. We should be grateful for His provision. Some people in the world who are very poor would gladly eat the scraps we throw away. While you do dishes, you can listen to things. I'm a pastor, but I need sermons and teaching too so I tap into something on the Internet while I wash dishes.

i just did the dishes like 5 minutes ago and was wondering how i hate doing the dishes.. i dont wash the dishes very often but it definitely is the worst of all the household chores..
