Do you wash the dishes?

One of the things I hate doing is postponing to do the dishes. After lunch, we usually have lots of dishes to wash: plates, spoons, frying pan, and the likes. Many times my wife often does the dishes as soon as we are done with our lunch. But when she doesn't do it, I can understand because she did all the cooking herself. So, I usually take over dealing with the dishes. It's a piece of cake actually compared to cooking lunch that requires cooking skills of course. Do husband and wife share the work of washing the dishes or is it a wife's responsibility?

It is good if you can help your wife. It is the responsibility of whole family members actually.

We wash the dishes at home. But we have scheduled a time for each member of the family.

Usually washing the dishes after a meal is my housework. As I prefer my husband to check our son's homework and meanwhile give him some helps. I am not a very patient person and I prefer to wash the dishes

washing the dishes or any household chores is a shared responsibility. there should not be for household chores women only or for men only. gender equality should be practiced nowadays..

Handwashing it is much cleaner, I would think.

Since I am at work most of the time, washing the dishes is done by my wife too.

My boyfriend helps me with dishes if I wash them then he will dry and take care of them and vise versa. I hate washing them by hand and hoping when we move into our own place that we will get a dish washer, I would be happy.

Always wash up by hand as I gave up the dish washer that was always breaking. I did like using the dishwasher when my youngest was very small as it disinfected all the dishes very well and helped him a lot to cope with asthma.

@yanzalong I prefer to handwash them myself I feel I am doing something instead of machines.
