to expect my mother to actually USE her dishwasher?

My mum HAD to have a dishwasher, and used it for all of about a week. Now she never uses it, and if I do dishes at hers and use it, It sparks off WW3. She claims it doesn't wash the dishes well enough but that is b/s since if I use the dishwasher without her knowing, she can't tell the difference.

AIBU to expect her to use the dishwasher since she had to have it? She's only 50 odd, so not really stuck in her ways so to speak.

My Mum is similar, but she will use it for big family occasions when there is loads of washing up - ie. xmas! (once or twice a year, and that's about it).

It doesn't bother me if she/ my dad are happy to wash up as dishwashers can be a waste of water and electricity if they are not choc-a-block full - so can understand why she won't use it on everyday basis.

Still tho' as I'd like one and I don't have one!
