How do you deal with dirty dishes?

I feel the same. I have a hard time understanding some people just letting them pile up.

That's a good practice. There are times that I do it but most of the time I just let it sit there for awhile.

@kixsh101 Hopefully they don't sit there for days?

That sounds good! Does your husband help with the dishes?

@1hopefulman Oh yes, he always helps me unless he beats me to the sink, in which case, he always washes as well as dries them. He will give me a break every now and again and do them entirely.

@Juliaacv That's a great husband! Do you have any children?

Yes, if we don't do them after every meal, they pile up and then it becomes a real boring job to wash them. I had two jobs where I was a dishwasher. One in a pizzeria and one in a cafeteria.

@tech40 Yes, after every meal I wash the dishes I use.

@1hopefulman That is correct, that's why every after a meal I cleaned it. Oh, I see that! So do you wash it immediately once there's an empty plate?

Wonderful and what a great habit! Everyone should be like your family!

@DianneN Wow, he is really smart!

@1hopefulman Thanks to my back problems, my husband can now start a dishwasher, a washing machine, and a clothes dryer.

Yes. it is such a good feeling when all is clean and neat. It is nice when a couple does the dishes together. I really like that!

@Hannihar Yes it is!

Yes, making sure that before we go to bed all the dishes are done is a great way to handle things.

@1hopefulman That is good.

@1hopefulman I do if I have to.

@snowy22315 Does anybody else in the family help out?

So, you are not a lover of washing dishes by hand?

Can you not get a maid?

@hexeduser22 That is a noble goal!

@1hopefulman teaching our kids to be independent at a young age. I need to set an example.

You must have a family where everyone takes cleaning the dishes seriously?

@allknowing Oh, I beg your pardon, your highness! That must make life easier?

@1hopefulman We have a maid

You like to have a clean sink when you go to bed. Nice so see you back. I hope you are doing well!

@velvet53 I am making the most of what life brings upon me!

@1hopefulman Thanks Felix. I am doing a lot better than before. Yes I do like to have a clean sink but there are some nights I don't do the dishes. If I am taking care of my granddaughter thean I am only here for one meal. There are so few dishes that I won't waste the water and all to do them. How re you doing?

I have never had a dishwasher. I would imagine that washing the dishes with a dishwasher makes life a lot easier.

@simone10 I'm so happy for you!

@1hopefulman yes it does make life a lot easier. I love it!

So it depends on how you feel and the time that you have available?

@rakski Yes, our schedule and responsibilities may interfere with our desire to do the dishes right away.

@1hopefulman yes. At times I wash them after lunch so that means dirty dishes from breakfast until lunch especially when it is school days and I have to bring my son to school.

Yes, that would make life easier for someone that uses a lot of dishes or has a big family. These days I only use a few dishes and in 5 minutes the job is done.

@just4him Burt you're losing out on the exercise.

@1hopefulman I don't use many dishes either. It doesn't take long to do them, but I prefer the dishwasher.

That must make life easier. I have never had a dishwasher. I have always been the dishwasher as I hate to see things dirty or messy.

@Nevena83 Humans are good at building machines. Soon we will be able to get a robot that will also clean your house.

@1hopefulman Yes, the sudo machine really makes the job easier.

@1hopefulman you'd think.

@scarlet_woman In a perfect world, yes!

Why not? Everyone should pitch in with the dishes. It is a family affair.

Best to do them quickly as that gives much satisfaction to see things neat nd clean.

@id_peace

Also I want to keep the pest away.

Fantastic! It's good to be clean and neat.

@moffittjc Me too, especially when it comes to dishes.

@1hopefulman I agree! I'm sort of a neat freak.

I see! I have never had a dishwasher. I have always been the dishwasher!

@nela13 That's great!

@1hopefulman I only use the dishwasher when I have guests or too many things to wash.

Glad you liked the rhyme. Washing dishes can be fun. I usually put on some nice music and sing as I do them. Great that you help your mom!

@ShifaLk I do the few dishes I use manually. I need the exercise.

@1hopefulman wow cool. Do you have a dishwasher? I do it manually

Nice to see that you also wash dishes at times. I think it shows love for one's wife.

@Nakitakona

@1hopefulman Yes, we're supporting each other.
