Do you wish that after every meal the dishes would get done on it's own?

yes, i wish maid robot like in i-robot movie was real so we can tell the robot to do all those things and we can be relax after we eat our meal.

Washing dishes is like in the top 3 house choirs I hate doing. If only they would get done on it's own, as you have said, then the world could be a much happier place.

Yup! That would be lovely if someone showed up just in time to help out...I live by myself so I try not to make too many dishes! LOL.....I eat out of containers alot as I cook up a big meal then freeze extras just to heat up when I don't feel like cooking!

UH - YES! I just finished doing the dishes, about 3 days worth. We dont' even COOK all that much and yet we accrue tons and tons of dishes and of course I'm usually the only one who actually does them...I don't mind, I love feeling like the house is getting clean and whatnot, I just get irritated that even though they are not MY dishes that I made, I still end up washing them. Agh.

I usually don't mind doing the dishes but it's true that there are times wherein you really just want those dishes to get cleaned by themselves especially after having a really great and sumptuous meal. And this goes true whether you're the parent or the child. We don't have a dishwasher so we do the dishes the traditional way, and that can really be such a drag at times.

Most of the tie I don't mind doing dishes since it has become a part of our daily routine so I don't think muuch about it but there are certainly days when I feel that I wouldn't have to do the dishes. y child is too small to do them so I wish the dishes would get done magically as in Harry Potter movie or by a robot...

Oh washing dishes is one thing I really hate, I think not having much bench space makes it a real chore, but even though I hate washing dishes so much I still would never have a dish washer.

Yes, I do wish that the dishes would simply get done on their own. I really don't like having to the dishes.

If you don't have a maid then of course they must really do the dishes. Tell them to clean their own plate after eating because you can't make it all the time. Now if they are stubborn enough to make it then don't do something that is in favor of them.

AMEN to that! I am married and also have a grown son. Son will always put dishes in the sink. Hubby gets home and once his butt is parked in his recliner forget it unless it pertains to the eating of food! I had 5 children and have basically been cook and bottlewasher all my life. I was an only child, and guess who did the dishes growing up? So even though a dishwasher is a luxury the dishes sure don't jump in there themselves. I am learning with age to do what I can and do what I don't feel like for later. Some days I feel really good and get everything done other days I feel exhausted and don't do so much. Good Luck to you at your home!

yes i do. and everyday you wash the dishes, tidy the home, wash the clothes and the next day its all back to how it was before, so you have to do it again. its a never ending battle.

I hate cooking. So I much prefer to do the dishes to help out when my spouse is cooking. We do expect our kids to at least clean their own dishes after every meal.

my kids are just little and cant do the dishes yet but they already do not want to clean their room so i know its coming lol. i would love for dinner to b done and me to be able to tell that little robot to do the dishes cuz that is the worst part of the mean and sometimes it just doesnt always get done :(

I used to watch those old TV shows like "Bewitched" and "I Dream of Jeanie". I used to wish I had magical powers to blink and the dishes would get cleaned.

For the most part, I think it would be quite convenient for the dishes to just magically clean up on their own, but other than that, I actually like doing them! I know it sounds a bit weird, but I think it stems from the fact that I used to do the dishes with my dad every day after dinner, so for me it is a very nostalgic experience that I don't really want to miss out on. In addition, as many people have mentioned, I love having a clean kitchen, so even if I don't feel like doing them, it is usually a pet peeve to just leave them sitting in the sink with food scraps all over them. One thing I have learned to do is to actually do the dishes as I go along with my cooking. So for instance, whenever I use a pan (to fry onions or simmer a sauce or whatever), I start washing it while the rest of the meal is still cooking. Any opportunity of idle time when I'm making dinner I like to put towards keeping the kitchen clean. Because of this, I'll often finish dinner and there will be very few dishes left - maybe the plates and silverware along with the serving dish. This is a great way to keep ahead of yourself I think, and I've already set aside time to do cooking, so for me it's just part of the cooking experience!

I'm beenice2's husband. Dare I stick my head out of the safety of my foxhole on this? I rarely help with the dishes. I did tons of them growing up being one of eight children. We do have five children who should be doing the bulk of them. In my personal defense I'm only actually home for one meal each day during the week and that's breakfast before anyone else is out of bed. I work long hours. I know what you're thinking. GET OFF THE COMPUTER!!! Stop commenting here! Get off your lazy butt and go help beenice2 with the dishes already!
