Doing The Washing Up

I have a phobia about doing the washing up. I think about doing it a lot, but don't actually do it. There's probably a psychological condition named after it. Do you wash up straight after dinner, as you cook, the next day, or do you let it accumulate like me? I have to admit that I'm basically a house slob.

 

My husband and I take turns. I like the dishes to be washed after we eat dinner otherwise they’ll sit there for days. He doesn’t mind leaving them for the next day but the next day never comes

You might just be a procrastinator. Lol There’s no shame in that!

 

I basically use the same bowl for everything and wash the bowl after I use it. If it doesn't go in a bowl though I at least rinse it and leave it for later or put it away depending on what it is.

 

Scrape Off Food......Insert In Dishwasher......Add Detergent......Press Start.....

Pick Up Glass Of Wine......Plonk Ass On Veranda......Problem Solved......



Cheers Glen.

 

Wash as I go. All dishes are in the dishwasher within 15 minutes of finishing dinner
If any dishes get used after the dishwasher is running, they get washed by hand before bed
No dish left behind!

A messy house makes me depressed and anxious
A clean house makes me feel calm and peaceful

 

You mean clean the kitchen?

Oh, that happened s as I'm cooking. You say that like there are people in this world who could sit down to dinner with dirty dishes on their sink.

The fuck is that all about?

 

Paper plates, in the fire drum.

 

as soon as i eat.

what would i clean as i cook? you put the food on the dish, put the dish in the microwave, and then eat the food off the same dish.

 

I just need to get to it before my partner does because otherwise it's a depressing illusion where at a glance it is done and I have less to do but actually most of it needs rewashing because he's so terrible at it. I've told him. You'd think he'd find that discouraging and stop "helping", but no.

 

Thats actually sweet he keeps helping, sometimes I suspect my partner does a terrible job just so i'll tell him he doesnt have to help anymore
But no such luck!

 

All of the above, depending on what else is going on, lol.

Normally, I wash them after I've eaten.

 

Ha : ) Yes you're right it is sweet really. I only tell him he's terrible at it in a friendly voice.

 

I 2nd that. And the dishwasher has to be loaded correctly! I clean up as as I cook too. I don't like my kitchen looking like something exploded in it.

 

You should wash. He should dry.

 

yup...the second I empty the frying pan or pot I have it right in the sink washing it....my boarder leaves his pots and pans for ''later after a few bongs''....I hate it

my dishwasher crapped out a year ago and I told y landlord not to replace it...thing is a pain in the ass

 

lol

 

I usually wash as I go. I noticed that I do most of my dishes immediately but always seem to leave a few random things--maybe a couple of spoons--in the sink. Like, once most of them are washed, I can't be bothered with the little things.

 

Drying dishes by hand is ridiculous. They dry themselves on the drainer.

 

I can't argue with that but there are folks who like to have everything done and put away rather than leaving things out.
