Sometimes I like to wash the dishes but it all depends on what I am washing. If I am washing just plates, I do not mind but if I am washing pots and pans and items you put in and out of the oven, I tend you have a hard time washing those kinds of items.

I like to clean the house in general.  It gives me time to really think about stuff.  It relieves stress too.  Also, sometimes I use it as an excuse to put off other stuff :)\nLike, work. (I'm a freelance writer.)

Do you wash your Teflon pans after cooking in them?\nOf course you do!\nJust because Teflon resists sticking does not mean that it does not get dirty.

When I was a kid I used to wonder if I could find my way around the house without my eyesight so I would put on a blindfold and eventually I mastered the whole house.  Sometimes, to impress friends, I would wash dishes while blinfolded.  Later on, the skill came in handy because I would always get home late and I would have to sneak in the house to get in -- without turning on any lights.

You are enjoying this too much.  Poop in the pan then move the pan.  Finisher yer big crap then divie up the poop in the pan into the jars......wipe and go.  Don't forget to wash yer hands.

No, we don't argue about it anymore. When I got tired of doing it all by myself, I made a Housework chart. I listed the chores that had to be done daily,weekly, monthly and seasonably including the time it takes me to do them. After seeing it in black and white, how much I had to do after getting home, he ask what he could do to help. I let him pick the chores he wanted to do and added a few I thought he could handle. Now he's done them for the last 20 years. He doesn't do everything to my liking, so when he is not around I'll go into the corners he missed. It helps a lot,even if it isn't as well as if I had done it myself and I'll tell him ever so often how lucky I am to have a partner that helps out so much.

Someone is trying to get you going!!!  \n\nFirst of all, if you wash everything well and keep all things clean, rinse and properly dried, there is no fear.\n\nNo, you cannot get sick from the sponge washing your dishes... But I trust that you are RINSING your dishes well.. and not leaving the soap on...

you said it with no get rich quick. you must work hard and long hours. thats the basic. people have become millionairs from washing dishes. they dont wash them when they're rich of course. they probably own chain of restaurants. but the basic was there in the beginning - hard long hours. anything beyond that is the lets get rich quick attitude.

I am a full time stay at home mommy and home maker, which is very satisfying to me. I lay the base stone on my childrens moral, attitude, education and am soley responsible for their wellbeing, health, behavior and appearance.\n\nPlus that, which is already a major job for itself, I am also the cook, the maid, the gardener, the animal tender, the mail/office assistant, the driver, the shopper, the legal assistant, the wife and in general, the domestic engineer...Did I mention dish washer??? lol...\n\nEven though it's sometimes overwhelming, yes, I am very satisfied with what I am doing, with the exception that it's mostly all voluntarily and generally unpaid (unless you count room and board in)...\n\nThe probably best job I would consider would be nursing or medical research... it's hands on, and it really can change people!

I agree. \n\nAnd you know what you should do with people who tell you to "unthaw" something before cooking. Make them a meal with "unthawed" ingredients. Then tell them what they did wrong. Or not, either way it's funny.

Have some boiling water ,and pour it down the drain everytime you drain the soapy water. The rinse water should be clean enough that this isn't necessary. I fit is you are not changing the wash water enough times. Scrape dishes before 1 st. wash.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  When I first stared dating my exhusband, we would go to his family's house and he'd always want me to cook.  I don't know about anyone else but I was raised where you don't just go into people's kitchens and start cooking.  I couldn't do it.  He would get really angry and upset.  His family use to look at me crazy because I didn't want to cook, I told them that it's nothing against them, this is the way that I was raised and I don't feel comfortable.  They still talked about me but I just let it go.  I told him if he wanted me to cook for him everynight, he should get us our own apartment.  I told his family if they think I should cook for him everynight because I'm the woman, he should make me his wife so I can do all that domestic stuff and be his HOUSE WIFE, until then, we're just dating and I'm not his mother so he can cook his own damn food!!!!

You lovely, lovely man! What I would not do to have you for a husband. Washing up is a doddle compared to a gourmet meal. Besides what are dishwashers for? Buy her one for Christmas and that is your problem resolved.

I think to a degree this is true\n\nFor example, if a women has bad BO you may conclude that she doesn't consider hygiene much of an issue, and therefore may not keep it tidy down below.\nAlso, the well presented side of it - if she's put a lot of effort into what you can see (outfit, haircut, etc) then she probably puts a lot of effort into what you can't see (underwear, bikini-line)

My wife is and has always been better at making money than I. We continually shift our household responsibilities based on our respective stress levels and schedules, as well as personal preferences. This helps us draw closer together and be more aware of each others' needs and wants.\n\nA spouse is not and should never be considered a maid. Rather, my wife is my best friend, and together we make better decisions than either of us could alone. I certainly would not expect my best friend to do all of my laundry, wash my dishes, clean my house, and take care of my kids while I am doing nothing worthwhile.\n\nOne important thing to remember, however, is emotional needs. This last year, I was under an extreme amount of stress between work, school, and a new baby. My wife graciously took over most of the household responsibilities so that I could de-stress when I came home. Now, much of that stress has shifted, and we are able to again share the responsibilities.

This is weird because as I was thinking of questions to ask, I actually thought of THIS one...strange!\n\n  Anyway, if I don't have a shower every day, I feel pretty gross, especially during certain times like the summer and "that time of the month." That's when I sometimes have two a day.\n\n  If I were you, I'd tell this person that it is custom to bathe about every day or so. At least every other day...JEEZ, dude!!!

I'm not germ phobic however I guess I would say no. Its better than not washing at all. Hygiene is an issue which should be discussed more often, especially when people are preparing food.
