R u tired of washing dishes like I am???  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 81/100. Citychic (2019)   ranked 898 out of 32,962 in life 3 years ago

Hey friends, I'm really starting to get tired of washing dishes at home but what can I do? I'm the only female in the house and the dishes has got to be done because I can't live with it otherwise so what can I do but wash them? Anybody else out there ever get tired of washing dishes? When I first put my hands in the warm dish water it feels kind of nice but afterward I feel like, oh God I don't want my hands to look all dry and wrinkly. I know that I could use gloves but I have always enjoyed being able to touch the dishes with my own hands and I don't like to put my hands inside of gloves. So that is no solution. Anyhow what kind of thoughts are you thinking while you are doing dishes?angry Im always trying to have good thoughts and so this was a way of venting. It's a real battle for me you guys because I just wished that somebody would come up with a robot other method so that we could all have clean dishes without the hard labor. Got a dish washer but it seems to be only a dish rinser. Let's chat about it! Happpy mylot!

Does it matter that you are the only female in the house? My partner does the washing up and much of the housework that I dont get round to doing we spilt everything! There are dishwashers but it seems you have tried that alternative! Hmm... maybe you need to get a new man lol!


myLot reputation of 81/100. Citychic (2019)   ranked 898 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

Dishwashing........

Hey Angelsmummy, your idea don't sound too bad. You are right everything should be slit down the middle fifty fifty but then he'd find something else to complain about. So what good would it do in the long run? Happy mylot!confusedBeing the only female in the house basically means that the guys are only going to do so much. It's just their make up.........


myLot reputation of 80/100. angelsmummy (1253)   ranked 5,308 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

My partner has no choice lol I tell him what he has to do lol hes given up complaining! Aww bless you I do feel for you, come stay with me for a few weeks Ill teach you how to whip them into shape haha. (For all you men that might be reading this I am not sexist I am going through my second hard pregnancy with 9 days left until my due date and getting very hormonal!)

Not only am I tired of washing dishes, but I'm tired of the laundry, the floors, the dusting, the yard work, the TRASH, and basically every other darn chore there is. I have a lot of children and I'm sorry to be so rude but they are freaking SLOBS!!! I awoke this morning to sour cream being flung all over the kitchen. I am NOT a happy camper right now. I do not understand what the heck they are thinking. I can't even go to SLEEP! But it's child abuse to lock them in their rooms...ha. I'm about to run away, wanna come with me? ;-)

Oh lord, do I ever hear that! Quick, pack a bag, bring your makeup kit, and we're leaving immediately! xD


myLot reputation of 81/100. Citychic (2019)   ranked 898 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

Lols, Family, what would we do without them? We can't just pack a bag and leave them but it sure would be nice to do that for a few days. I tell mine one of these days I'm going to take a real vacation. Even if I don't do nothing but go to a nearby motel. Stay there and eat as much as I want and I might even have a few burners just to help me chill out. Happy mylot!coolthumbupthumbupYou'd be welcome to join me if you'd like, Party for girls only!


myLot reputation of 98/100. agv0419 (2934)   ranked 2,813 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

Yes sometimes I also feel that. I'm tired to washing dishes and no one really to care to wash them even if they don't do anything in the house. I don't want them left in the sink unwashed because it can attracts cockroach. Sometimes I'm complained with my siblings and my parents that they should wash the dishes after meals and don't left it there at night. Dishwasher is not common here we usually do it manually.

haha..hey citychic you are not alone! me too...i also feels that way sometimes! huh! feels like i don't like my hands to be wet and i feel tired standing for quite a long time while washing the dishes! and i hate it when i am washing pans with stubborn dirts! angry

what is just good with me is that, i have an 'adopted' boy here...hehehe that sometimes he do the washing for me! i just let him eat with us and surely he will wash the dishes! hehehe and that saves my day!

but whenever i have no choice but to do it on my own and i am in a mood doing it, there's no problem! i even sing while washing them...hhehehe
maybe in your house you should have a rotation...on who will wash the dishes...happy


myLot reputation of 81/100. Citychic (2019)   ranked 898 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

Dishing washing............

Thanks for your advice ckyera, i can surely relate to what you saying when you say that you get tired of standing for so long to wash those dishes up. Luckily you do have someone to help you out over there. I have two of my own and I was trying to go easy on them by sparing them the chore of having to do dishes but when they walk around and have no pity on Mom, well let's just say that there are going to be some changes taking place in the near future over here in our household. Usually we have chores that the boys do and those that the females do. But dish washing can and should go either or. Although I know my hubby would love it if it remained a traditional female sort of chore. Thanks for the tips. Please add me as a friend, Happy mylot!happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. ckyera (4912)   ranked 355 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

hehe...i guess our husband are really happy when we don't let them do the dishes! my husband is also like that...but there are times, maybe when he saw that im tired from other chores like doing the laundry...he do it himself even i don't ask...but that just happen once in a blue moon! hehehe but im very glad when he do that...
well dish washing is a unisex chore i think! w00t coz when i was still single, my brother and i are doing it in the house according to schedule...happy
i already added you...just waiting for you to accept!
have a good day!happy

WTF does being "the only female in the house" have to do with who washes the dishes? You mean the males are too good to wash dishes? Unbelieveable!! This is 2009. it would seem that if my understanding is correct, maybe you should learn to say paper of plastic.


MrCorn (15)  3 years ago

Opps, my bad- Paper or Plastic.


myLot reputation of 81/100. Citychic (2019)   ranked 898 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

Yep, we are already doing paper or plastic but still wind up having a sink full of dishes day in and day out. I wished that there was an easy solution. Not to say that guys are too good to do the dishes. But would rather if the guys did the outside work. It's all in how we are brought up I guess. We had so many girls in our family that the boys were not expected to do dishes. As long as they took the trash out, kept the yard tidy and their rooms the girls had to do everything else. And yes it's 2009 but I can promise you somethings in life will never change, mark my words on it!wink Happy mylot!

This is actually funny, you know, although I know it is not meant to be. You say that you don't want your hands to feel awful, but you have chosen rather to suffer than to wear gloves. And OMG, you're complaining that "oh God I don't want my hands to look all dry and wrinkly." Who is to be blamed for this craziness? Take my word, go wear your gloves and start washing dishes even if you hate it - I'm sure you'll get it done as it is no herculean task; when you are finished with it, I bet you'll come back to thank me!rasp


myLot reputation of 81/100. Citychic (2019)   ranked 898 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

Thank you my friend, I am going to start wearing the gloves, just maybe it will help the situation out some. God knew that I hated washing dishes and he's known it for quite some time. So much so that he gave me a dishwasher to help me out. But as I stated before the dishwasher is slowly becoming a dish rinser. Anyhow I will put on the gloves and praise God through the process. Mind you I've been washing dishes almost all of my life so it's nothing really crazy about it. There are some chores around the house that I really don't mind. But washing dishes don't happen to be one of them. But then again, I'd rather wash dishes any day compared to having to clean toiletsdrool. Happy mylot!

7. myLot reputation of 88/100. momtrying2makeit (2772)   ranked 764 out of 32,962 in life   3 years ago

I hate dishes too but my boyfriend helps me out a lot I must say. When it comes to cleaning he is king. lol He helps me so much and for that I am forever greatful. I am a very unorganized person and I think that is why we compliment each other. Although he does not have a permenat job he helps so much around the house it really does not matter to me. I have a suggestion for you maybe you could rent to own a dishwasher that way you are getting a break from really doing the dishes. If that is not something you can do I think every other day someone in your family should do the dishes. I believe men can wash dishes just as much as a women can. Take care and I hope this helps. Happy mylotting as well. happy


myLot reputation of 81/100. Citychic (2019)   ranked 898 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

washing dishes..........

Thanks for the tips Momtrying2makeit. I appreciate your sympathy with my situation. I really can't afford to rent a dishwasher. And will probably put a few of my helpers to work around here as far as helping me out. You are truly blessed to have your bf come in and do the dishes for you. I believe that men should help but so many of them in this day and age seems to want to do as little as possible. Oh well, I guess that's just the way it is sometimes. Take care and have a great evening.rolleyes

i actually don't usually mind doing dishes when i get in the mood, but it's getting in the mood that's the hard part. usually at home, my mum and brother just leave washing up in the kitchen for days until i give in and wash it all up. i try to wash up my own things so i don't have to do theirs but somehow it still ends up that a big pile is not being done, and sometimes it gets so bad that there are no plates to use. i usually listen to my ipod while i'm washing up - it distracts me and makes me think happy things, i'm singing along and just getting on with it!


myLot reputation of 81/100. Citychic (2019)   ranked 898 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

That's a good way of doing it my friend, washing those dishes to the sound of the beat.
It'll make you want to holler and move your feet.
Yeah, singing along with the dishes is the way to go. thumbup
Hip hop- skip bop away you'll go!thumbup
Wash and dry, rinse and rinse until they get clean.
It's so much fun washing, who wants a machine?thumbup

Dishes are the bain of my existance. I keep thinking that I should just switch my household over to paper plates and stuff that I can just throw out after every meal. We already use plastic utensils on a regular basis. I'm just so tired of hunting around for forks and spoons. A majority of mine got brought to school in a lunch and never returned. I figure it's worth the extra $2 a month to just keep buying plastic. Eventually, I may end up using it for everything on a daily basis.

Now if only they'd come up with disposable pots and pans I'd have it made.


myLot reputation of 81/100. Citychic (2019)   ranked 898 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

Dish wasing,,,,,,,,,,,

Sure they'll come up with something like that soon. They already got tv dinners which makes it kind of nice if we are in a hurry and don't have time to cook. I tried a few of the dinners and they aren't too bad in a pinch but I would much rather have a nice tasty home cooked meal any day of the week. Yeah i already am starting to see disposable pots and pans coming out as the next biggest thing to hit the market, I hopethumbup. Happy mylot!

We have a dish washer. But we have to make sure that all the extra icky food stuff is off of the plates first. It's just a quick rinse under the faucet and maybe a light scrub with a sponge, and then into the dish washer it goes. If we don't do this then our dish waher acts like a dish rinser too.


myLot reputation of 81/100. Citychic (2019)   ranked 898 out of 32,962 in life  3 years ago

thanks for sharing Weirdology, i was starting to wonder if it was just mine or if any dishwashers really have the power to be able to wash the tough stains off a plate or pan like our dish washing hands can do along with a little elbow grease. But yours sound nice and easy enough, I might even get a brush to help me out some. Thanks for sharing that tip too. happy mylot!wink
