To think these domestic things make sense and I’m not being lazy?

All sounds a little bit manky tbh. But whatever floats your boat.

I take your point. Well said!

It’s verse 7:1 in Matthew (King James version)- it’s a bit of a clunky translation for sure.

Judge not that you be not judged is a good maxim

But horrible English 😂

Judge not that you be not judged is a good maxim.

Indeed.

Throwing made up scenarios that are different to the question posed is completely irrelevant.

as for colours etc, I’ll literally wait til I have enough whites to fill the washer before I do a white wash, (and I don’t have that many!) because I’m not keen on waste. That’s just how I roll. The thread asks a question, this is my answer.

Possibly they don't have a lot of dishes and want them clean in the morning. Judge not that you be not judged is a good maxim.
Also, I have lots of clothes, brightly coloured, fabrics which need a gentle wash etc. I tend to wash colours together which means more than one wash for a load of washing - and I put sheets and towels through at 60 + degrees, because this gets rid of any nasties that might be around. I am alone, now, but I like my clothes clean and my sheets well-washed (though not ironed). Perhaps I too am being selfish from your pov since I am wasting water doing lots of small washes?

Can’t glaze whole carrots, can’t bear plain boiled ones.
Putting dirty/clean dishes in the machine is disgusting.
I quite like tidying away clothes in the right place.

The dishwasher thing is gross. Don’t you peel your carrots? It takes 2 seconds to use a knife to chop the ends. I like seeing all my ironed clothes in my wardrobe to make decisions quicker every morning

“fuck that, my convenience is worth more”,

No- my attitude is I’m disabled, I can’t actually empty a dishwasher and put the stuff in a cupboard, it’s physically impossible.My carer is chronically over worked and we have to muddle through somehow-

so yeah, it would be better for the environment if we could manage the dishwasher situation differently, but it isn’t possible and I don’t think in the grand scheme of things I need to feel overly guilty about it.

As I said, if that means I care more about myself than anyone or anything else so be it.

But you’d not mentioned a number of people, and your attitude was “fuck that, my convenience is worth more”, not “I run my dishwasher every night because it’s genuinely full by then”.

If you have a 5 person household then obviously you’d need to run a dishwasher more. Whereas doing so just because it suits you (whether necessary or not) is not an attitude I can get behind.

That wasn’t the post you quoted me in- as I said I was responding to the post you specifically directed at me.

Read it again, my actual specific post:

”Running a dishwasher every night for you and a three year old is horrendously wasteful. You must have more money than sense 🤣”

Nothing to do with 5 people, everything to do with one adult and a small child. If you then choose to reply about disability and 5 people then that’s your look out, and is not a response to the point I was making.

What has 5 people got to do with anything? I specifically stated that in OP’s position, just her and a 3 year old, it’s wasteful. Stop making things up just to try to provoke an argument 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

I was responding specifically to the post you directed to me, which did not mention the op of her situation but only talked about your situation and your opinion on wasting resources.

And sadly there are plenty of folk like you who care more about themselves than anyone or anything else.

Ah yes, us pesky disabled folks, managing our domestic tasks in such a way as to not cause us further illness or injury (or trying to avoid more work being heaped on already over worked carers)… we really do only care about ourselves.

Presumably you don’t have 5 people living and eating 3 meals a day in your house, and cooking separately too?

Or you are able to wash up as you go?

Or have a dishwasher big enough that it isn’t full by the end of the day, and you can fill it as you go for 2 days?

also about the waste of resources

In the grand scheme of concerns in the world, I’m not going to worry about the effect of my family having clean plates each day.

I don’t have the wherewithal to do more work, but not turning my dishwasher on every night doesn’t actually take me any time or effort, funnily enough. I could afford to run it every night, but it also about the waste of resources, not just my own money.

Your dishwasher system is overall more effort if you have to check every time to see if something is clean. It’s what a 2 min job to put away? I like to start the day with an empty dishwasher and then just add stuff throughout the day. AND then put on before dinner prep.

It is lazy to me. However I don't live in your home so it isn't an issue. You do you.

But you are still emptying it fully before putting dirty things in. Which op isn't doing.

Oh, and I also multiple stack on the table, direct from the dishwasher, so that evening plates are put out in morning, then lunch plates on top, then breakfast plates on top of that. Use and remove these layers during the day.

I have similar approach for dishwasher when living alone. Take what I need for breakfast and lunch out clean from machine (why put it in the cupboard for only a few hours???). Eat, rinse, stack tidily by sink. By end of day dishwasher is half empty and I've saved 50% of the unloading work. Can then fully unload and put dirty things in all in one go. Only works if living alone though. For two or more people living together I always empty fully. Time and motion studies would show a big saving I guess with all that putting things away in different cupboards, taking the same things out again at different points during the day, multiplied over many years.

The clothes thing I could live with if I couldn't see them. Wouldn't work for me with three adults not everything would fit. Do you never dry clothes outside? If you do where do you put them when they're dry?
The dishwasher thing is grim. If you emptied it when it's done you might not need to run it every day.

Perhaps she has more money than she has time and energy?

We don’t struggle for money- not that we are rich but we don’t have to worry about how often we run the dishwasher.

However, I’m disabled- I have a genetic condition, M.E and fibromyalgia- I’m a wheelchair user and dealing with crushing fatigue and pain all day every day.

I also have a disabled and chronically ill child I have to home ed- meeting his needs takes all my energy and then some!

My carer has to work full time and do everything in the house, plus all the shopping and cooking, plus any personal care for me (washing, dressing, feeding me, dealing with medication etc) that I can’t manage.

Like fuck does she care if our clean clothes are worn off the dryer or out of a wardrobe before she runs out of the house at 7am to get to work by 8 🤦‍♀️.

Its interesting how much thinking things are ‘grim’ and ‘lazy’ is just privilege from people who have the wherewithal to do extra work.

Running a dishwasher every night for you and a three year old is horrendously wasteful. You must have more money than sense 🤣
