Dishes or laundry?

well maybe she can use shampoo

eating slowly is good for you….you could slurp you know.

For me it is both. It is what it is.

Well, it depends on what I need it for….

Like… for eating, I prefer dishes.It gets messy, eating on laundry.

But when I want clean clothes, I have to do laundry.

Actually, I always thought all that was obvious.

Not only that, but it’s a worthwhile endeavor. A lot of mother-daughter dissention has been hashed out over a pan of soapy water. (I presume that goes for sons, too, but I only had one sister and three daughters.)

Come to think of it, maybe we could have a large sink set up in Congress, and just get all the representatives to help with the washing up. Could solve a lot of problems, and it certainly wouldn’t hurt.

Dishes by hand, laundry by machine after making sure cat is not sleeping on dirty laundry.

The two worst and neverending jobs in the house. You can get everything done and the glass you are drinking from is a dirty dish and the clothes you are wearing are dirty clothes. I guess since my dishwasher is now me, I’ll go with laundry, but I’d rather be vacuuming.

My husband does the dishes by hand and I do the laundry by machine – works for us. Dani Rice – I like your idea about Congress. At least they would be doing SOME work.

I already washed dishes once by hand today even though I have a dishwasher and detergent. I also washed a load of laundry. I guess I do what needs to be done. As for the 2nd question, if I forgot to do something I have no clue what.

I am almost 62 yrs old and have never owned a dishwasher. I do them but prefer the ease of laundry!

We usually alternate on “doing” dishes; i.e., loading the machine and tapping a button or two. On occasion, we will hand wash dishes, sometimes together. As for laundry, I always do my own and my wife hers mainly because I like to use Tide and she does not…

I cook, he cleans, we each do our own laundry. Worked for us for the last 52 1/2 years, so…..we’re good,

I do all the cooking and cleaning, and I really dislike doing dishes. We finally got a little portable dishwasher for our apartment, we can now see the bottom of our kitchen sink.

I don’t mind laundry or dishes. Unless it’s a holiday, I do the cooking, so the dishes sit until hubby washes them for Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Year’s,
