When do you wash the plates?

eVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN WAY OF DOING THINGS. bOTH MY SONS ARE BAD TO PUT THINGS OFF & THAT DRIVES ME NUTS, LOL. They say i want everything done yesterday & they are right.

When i lived with my mom, i was telling her nearly the same, now is pretty different, phone call all day long and it's not so annoying as it was, when i lived at home.

Hello Antique Lady, my mom is like you and i am as you mom is, isn't it funny I never had to clean after my mom, she was always cleaning after me. Now i clean after my boyfriend. For everything in life, there is a reason. I never helped her so much, but now i'm the one who care for the cleaning in our apartment, even if we both are at home whole day long. I can't explain myself why i feel so lazy sometimes. May be the motivation is missing, when you do your own schedule for the day and you say yourself - i can do this later, then you say - i still have time and for the other thing ... And at the end of the day it looks like nothing is done. That's really a bad moment.

Ah, i need to do the other - to learn to clean after each meal, that's how everything won't be so messy. Actually i don't like to be dirty around me. When we moved to this apartment, i cared every day for everything. But i feel tired, because i'm cleaning, cooking, washing everything, clothes also, i throw the garbage, i shop, i make budge and i always know where is everything. After that i have to start working, which usually takes around 5-6 hours a day or more. And at the end i just feel like it's not me, it's just my body around and i'm somewhere else, but not in wonderland.

I see friend, for our happiness we don't have rats or cockroaches here. But we have a lot of flies and mosquitos which are awful in my opinion. They also bring illness and microbes.

Now, when i read your answer i realized that we have too much plates at home. We live only two people and we have so much plates and tableware that we actually don't need everything. When i cook i always wash, too, but not everything. Thanks for sharing my friend, i'll try to do it that way, as you shared. May be will feel better.

With or without guests, i always use something from the kitchen. Glasses, cups, plates. And i never wash them when i make them dirty. That's how my skin, even a big one, has always something in.

That's a great habit Terry and i can say that your grandmother is not so far from the truth, in my opinion.

I can tell you why friend. I read an article, where they said that when we eat an hour after that a lot of the energy of the body is concentrated in our stomaches, i think it's the same not only with the energy, but with the blood too. Thanks for sharing.

The same i'm doing here, when i put everything what needs to be washed, in the sink. This helps me a lot, because soon everything is ready to be washed.

Thanks for your response.

I wouldn't clean after other people, if i have to be honest, only guests.

Hello friend. For me, sometimes, washing is long, because with one cooking i have 10 dirty plates (as example) and a lot more tableware. I realize that if i wash the plates after using them, i'll got less, but lately nothing can motivate me to stay so long near the sink, after i eat something tasty.

Thanks for sharing Shia. When i wash my plates, i always wash the sink really long, so everything what was there and may be would do spots to disappear.

The same as i do, just i don't watch the news, because we have no TV here. Only internet.

And before long everyone will be watching the internet instead of TV!

I'm not a big fan of that, actually. I don't know why, may be because i got some experience in shop for mobile phones and services and i could see that when something is for a multiplay using, it's a bit annoying.

Hello friend, i don't like when people come in my kitchen - guests, family members, friends. I just don't like it, because my kitchen is too small. And usually i keep it clean, but sometimes it's getting messy. I don't think that one kitchen is dirty, if there are 5-6 plates in the sink. That's my opinion, if everything is on it's place, if the oven is clean, it will show that you really care a lot about your kitchen. Dirty plates can be dirty, because before 10 minutes you have eat something, and then the guests come.

I never forget what i put in my kitchen, because i visit it too often. And i like doing stuff there, but sometimes laziness or the tiredness are more strong than me and my wishes.

Thank you for your response Gracefuldove.

I wash absolutely every day, just use too much, when i cook and serve the dishes. I always put two plates for the dish - for me and my boyfriend, and one more plate for the bread, with one more plate for the pickle. At the same time, before serving as i'm cooking, depends on the dish, but i use pan for preparing some products of the dish, then move everything in another pan, where the dish will be cooked, also plates for the cut onion and different other stuff. So i always wash the next day. The reason i have many dirty plates is not that i left them dirty many days, because that would annoying and it would smell awful, sooo every day washing works for me pretty good. But i wanted to ask the question more because of my mom, because she is doing another thing - she wash, exactly after using. And it's a great habit, where in every time she got everything clear and ready for use. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Xansus, i was the same way before, i had schedule for everything. It's good that you know when are your wash hours. If you don't have them, it will be a bit confusing, as it is now for me.
