Do you? or someone will do it for you? perhaps a maid, your mom or maybe your family has a schedule for people in the household to have their turn in doing the dish washing. We at home don't have any schedule, I don't know but the jibs gets done.everyone takes turn not routinely or scheduled but anyone will just do it.

I must say that's a very nice ongoing in your house. In my place , it's me and only me, cos I'm the mom. How nice if everyone is willing to be initiative and just keep the place clean. How nice if there's someone else to do it for me, like when I was young. ahhhh :D

yes it is, but before it was not.maybe everyone had matured enough now that they know what to do and when to do it.anyhow you also need to teach your kid to be responsible to do some work at home when they are old enough to do some work in the house

I did, but it is only done when asked, not initiative like yours. You are lucky :D

Goodness, I wish we had a maid. That would be lovely, wouldn't it? Then I wouldn't have to go around picking up after my husband and his friends. xD No, i don't usually wash my plate after eating. Most times it just goes in the dishwasher and when that gets somewhat full we turn it on and let it run. xD We're lazy. But it's just my husband and I for now and we've got tons of plates and things, so it's not worth washing dishes every day. We actually use less water just running the dishwasher once than trying to do dishes every day with what little dishes we have. It's weird, but that's how it worked.

haha.I also would love to have a maid at home so everyone can just relax after eating. It's good that it's only you and your hubby right now but I don't think that you should keep that when your family grows, I mean when you already have kids.

Dishes are always an ongoing problem for most of us! I think our family handles it really well. If somebody uses a dish, or cup, for a snack, then they clean it up after using it. After family meals, we all take turns with doing the dishes. I never have to ask (which is amazing!) I raised everybody that everybody helps in a family, and I must say they are great about pitching in to help. While I cook or bake I keep the sink filled with hot soapy water, and as I'm done with something, measuring cups, etc, I wash them and let them dry in the rack. I try and 'clean as you go' while I'm cooking, and that way there aren't as many dishes to do after eating the meal.

Wow you and your family are well organized.that is so nice.I agree that everyone needs to help and that when you use something you have the responsibility to clean it on your own

Yes I usually wash my own plate though sometimes my mum offers if there is more washing to be done later.

Not really after eating. My partner and I take turns in washing the dishes. i like to have a clean kitchen and it really irritates me whenever the kitchens is smelly or I see ants somewhere.

yup i do wash my own plate.. and i even wash everyone else's plate! :D at home it is I or my mom who mostly does the washing of plates - when all of us are at home and if we all ate at the same time... but when my brother eats later than us, they will have to wash their own plates.

I may if I'm asked to or if i'm lost in thought. You see what my inclinations re Washing my own plate has never been any problem for me. Sometimes we do it in turn too. Mostly done by maid. But NOT by my mom (as far as I can remember)...

before,when i don't have a maid yet,i do wash the dishes my own. i don't want my kitchen to look messy, so i wash it after every meal. now that i have a helper at home, she's the one doing it. cleaning the house, doing the laundry and wash the dishes. though, sometimes, i still do these household chores.
