As you know, I have 3 kids. Those 3 kids eat 3 meals a day plus snacks. Hubs and I also eat at home at least once daily. We all have at least one cup a day. Jemma still gets a bottle a few times a day (don’t judge!). Plus, we have pets that use dishes. What am I saying? Well, one, we use a lot of dishes. Two, someone has to clean those dishes. And three, I love my dishwasher because it does it for me. I L-O-V-E it.
(that is not my dishwasher but it is pretty!)
So, why am I being all crazy-like and talking about my dishwasher? Two reasons really. One, Appliances Online started my thoughts on the appliances I have and what I would do without them. The second is not so great actually. You see, that lovely dishwasher has been a source of argument lately in our house. I don’t think the younger kids are old enough to load it and they aren’t big (physically) enough to unload it. That leaves this chore up to either me or my hubs. He thinks that since I am home all day that I should be doing it. What he doesn’t seem to understand is that Jemma is a little leech (I mean that in the nicest way, of course) and won’t let me do a darn thing without being stuck to my side. I think that it wouldn’t hurt him to help me out a little in the dishes department. It would take him less time to do it than it would me because he has time without kids stuck to his side whereas I don’t.
I used to be all “it must be this way” when it came to loading dishes. Everything had a place and every utensil had a spot. Of course, those utensils had to be grouped together and all in the same direction. You know, the right way. After many times of going to unload the dishwasher and finding things out of their rightful place, I had to give that idea up. I just needed to let it go in order to have some sanity. Hubs, of course, still uses that as an excuse not to do dishes. He says that if he doesn’t do it right, then I complain. Ummm, I haven’t complained in years but whatever. Now, I just want the darn dishes done without having to beg. There is nothing worse than waking up to no bottles… or a sink full of dishes. *gasp*
I remember, not too long ago, when we had to physically wash every dish. Oh my gosh. I dread the thought. I can’t imagine anything so horrible as having to wash dishes by hand again. Does that make me lazy? Heck no! That makes me smart! We have a beautiful dishwasher to use and darn it, I will use it. We do still have to argue over who will load and unload the pretty machine but at least we have one. It was worth every penny spent and I would kiss it if it weren’t so germy. Totally off rant-topic, but did you know that you can clean your dishwasher? I do often. I do it because I love it. I am not crazy! *hides the love note to the dishwasher*
My question to you is this… Do you have a dishwasher? And, by dishwasher, I mean an appliance, not a person. Also, do you wash your dishes before you put them in the dishwasher? I think that is crazy talk but I know people that truly wash them… not rinse but wash before putting them in the dishwasher! Also, do you have the same argument I do about who will do the loading and unloading of the dishes? Are you anal retentive and like everything to be loaded a certain way?
Appliances Online really does rock and they want to give one of you a fabulous gift for reading my crazy rant about dishwashers and chores. If you are looking for appliances and you live in the UK, they are the folks to see. Because they can’t ship me a new double-door fridge that I am dying for, they kindly offered to give away a $50 gift card to Amazon to one of you! Super, right? This is open internationally (as long as you can claim the gift card).
Disclosure: ToBeThode is not responsible for the distribution of the gift card. A small gift was given to ToBeThode in exchange for this post but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Christine Shaffer says
OMG almost sounds like my house, except my kids are 24(m) & 16( f). My hub prefers to do dishes by hand, fine by me of course. The kids, well my daughters job is to unload the dishwasher, it’s a miracle if she does it without being told to. She’s in 11th grade, has lots of hw due to honor classes plus plays volleyball on the school team & on a yr round league. I told her noooo excuses, she needs to do if she wants something, $$$ of course. My son is a huge helper. I had major back surgery 2 months ago, he took over everything I can’t do. He is disabled & needs a shoulder replacement, but when it comes to cleaning ( dusting, vacuuming, cooking, dishes, whatever) he is there to do it. Me I loveee my dishwasher, especially when the holidays are here. I would be lost without it. My pet peeve is, ” if you use it, rinse it & put it in dishwasher ( as long as there is the dirty sign on it). LOL. Yep I even have dirty & clean signs so they know & don’t mess things up. I have to put things Ina certain way as does my son, but as for hub, forget it. He is better off washing by hand because he can’t load the DW right, no matter how many times he has been shown. So that’s my dishwasher story. : )
Stefany says
Who wants to do dishes by hand?!? I don’t get it. LOL I totally could use a dirty/clean sign too but I think the baby would probably play with it and I still would never know if they were clean or not. ha!
Christine Shaffer says
If I don’t put the sign on I would never know if they were clan or dirty. The baby would definately play with them & would have fun I’m sure. They do make magnets for the dishwasher also sying dirty or clean. My signs are hand made with marker in big letters, lol. My kids are 24 & 16, they are big babies too, lol.
If he wants to wash by hand, more power to him. As long as I’m not the 1 doing them by hand. : )
