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

Lazy and inefficient.

They don't make sense and you are being lazy

I was thinking of this earlier as the carrots were skinny and so they went into the pot whole. I also realised I often just quickly peel the stump off rather than cut it off. Chopped them up roughly with the serving spoon when they were cooked before dishing them up.

I'm sure there is more stuff I do too that seems odd to others. Usually don't bother with a plate if I'm eating toast. Don't take the dry clothes off the line before heading out with a basket of wet, I just take them off one by one as I'm hanging out the wet ones. Always shake them and fold them as I go as I don't iron (exception DS school uniform if trousers need it and shirts if it's a warm enough day that he might take off his jumper). Often don't fully unpack shopping, just take out things as needed apart from any fridge or freezer stuff. I do have a space for the bags though and I never do a big shop so it's just one bag not fully emptied for a day or so.

Pretty sure I have ADHD and a lot of things are things I've developed because of that. I used to do things differently. Where I live now has a much smaller kitchen and I have accumulated more kitchen stuff so putting everything away means stacking things up, the little plates on the big ones and so on. Though I've always said the ideal thing would be 2 dishwashers. You can get a two separate independent drawers type.

So you waste money cooking veg longer because you don't want to cut it smaller, you endlessly rewash pots even if they are clean (so wearing off any coating or varnish over time) . Leaving clothes on airer sounds lazy to me and possibly a sign of not really valuing yourself enough to take care of your self and your home properly.

I wouldn't say it's lazy, just a bit weird.

The carrot thing doesn't make sense, surely you end up snapping a lot more off the end than quickly chopping it, even if you then cook it whole? I am tempted to go and try it but I imagine at least 1/4 to 1/3 snapping off. I am not entirely convinced cooking carrots whole would work well anyway. Then if you are cutting it up on your plate you are expanding the same amount of time and energy as if you had done it the :normal' way to start with.

The dishwasher thing would imply you can get every pot and pan in at the same time, which again doesn't seem practical.

Clothes, no issue with this - carry on 🤣

I don't do any of your examples op but I do get weird looks in the supermarket when, instead of taking each item out of my basket and placing it on the conveyor belt, I just gently (and carefully) tip the basket contents onto the belt all at once.

I could do the dishwasher thing with two dishwashers, in fact I saw this on some homes show and it was for a tiny kitchen. It could work well.
The carrots, why bother snapping the end off, either buy ready cut or boil the whole thing and dont eat the green end.
The clothes, well if I lived alone I might do similar. But I use the dryer and when I'm working I wash it, dry it, pile it, pick my work uniform off the pile,and on and on. Small pile, I only have three uniforms.

If I had a spare room I might bother with clothes horse.

OP you think you're being efficient but actually you're being hugely wasteful and probably costing yourself a lot of money

Boiling a whole carrot = 10/15 minutes vs boiling sliced carrots = 4/5 mins. Let's say you have carrots twice a week. That's boiling a pan for 17 hours a year longer than if you could be arsed to chop it. Not to mention you probably are throwing away a lot of good carrot with the end.

And if you run the dishwasher every night, even if it is full of half clean stuff for a household of 1 adult and 1 child, you are doing so far more frequently than if you'd let it build up over a couple of days.

So you're spending c£50 more on energy than someone running it 3 x a week and probably the same again on extra dishwasher tablets and salt. Perhaps £100 a year more to run your dishwasher every day

And it's not recommended to run it daily - if so it can reduce the lifespan 2-3 years more quickly than those who don't run it everyday

You might see these things as efficient but actually you're burning cash

Why are you boiling carrots whole often enough for this to even be a consideration? Who eats just boiled whole carrots?

Dishwasher. I don't get it sorry.

Carrots. Don't you cut them up anyway? Or do you just boil and eat them whole? Unless they were baby, I'd be chopping them up anyway.

I will grab clothes whilst they are still on the clothes horse, but eventually they all need to come off for the next lot.

But how would that work if you never empty them? You'll eventually end up with two dishwashers half full of clean stuff, surely.

Beyond lazy…

Tip of the iceberg I tell ya.

my dog would never forgive me if i didnt slice off the end of the carrot for her consumption
dishwasher is crazy
unless you are using everything in the dishwasher for one meal?

OP whatever makes your life easier! I do keep my kitchen ship shape cos I just do and though Iv got a dishwasher I rarely use it, I prefer washing pots and pans by hand - I also take pleasure in cooking so chopping is part and parcel of that! However, there are loads of stuff that Mumsnetters seem to think should occur in households or else we'll all die of Cholera which I don't do and have never been poorly! I also don't iron anything after washing and drying it, it gets put away and ironed when I want it!

Not for a single person with a small child, I don't think so. I am currently alone in my house as the rest of the family are away at grand parents'. I have 1 saucer, two cups, a pan, air fryer tray and a dinner plate in my sink as we speak. It would probably take me a week to fill up a dishwasher.

We run the dishwasher every day. It gets emptied and reloaded after dinner. Until then, we just lift things out as we need them and stack dirty plates by the sink.

But it still needs emptying every day as we use a different selection of plates/mugs/glasses/pans each day. If I didn’t empty the clean stuff then I wouldn’t be able to fit the dirty stuff in… and it seems wasteful to run a dishwasher that’s only half full of dirty things because you’re too lazy to empty the clean things…

Snapping carrots also makes no sense because of the waste. It’s impossible to snap the 2cm end off that I would chop off.

I also do washloads through the week and put the dried washing into washing baskets, then put them all away together on a Saturday so sometimes the washing sits in the basket for a few days so I don’t have to put away every day.

Also, forgot to ask, what happens if the clean dishes aren't all used - do they get washed again even though they're clean?

You chop vegetables so they cook evenly and their flavour infuses the rest of the dish. Why would anyone want a giant soggy carrot in the middle of their plate.

If you have space I don't see any reason not to do the clothes thing. I do tend to prioritise good food over housecleaning though.

Do the dirty dishes from the “upstairs” dishwasher drip onto the clean downstairs dishwasher?

Sorry this is gross to me. how are the utensils stored? I only have one holder for them so they would touch and that's just nasty.

Do you not peel your carrots? Wouldn't you just chop them at the same time?

The dishwasher thing would do my head in. Can only see that working if you always use exactly the same glassware, crockery and cutlery every day.

Mixing clean and dirty dishes in the dishwasher, then using the clean stuff is pretty boggin really.

I don't think I'm understanding the dishwasher part. I also run my dishwasher each day but don't need most of the clean dishes immediately - so for example a clean pan would sit near our dirty breakfast and lunch plates all day and then I'd use the pan in the evening? And a dirty spoon goes back next to the clean ones?

I also couldn't snap ends of a carrot if I tried. And they take forever anyway even cut up small so a whole one would take bloody hours surely?!

As for the clothes...again similar issue to dishwasher. Where would I hang my clean load if most of the last load is still on the dryer?

We have a 3 person house (1 is out at work all day so mainly 2 just at home) and those systems just wouldn't work for us.

I do hate unloading the dishwasher however so sometimes just stack the dirty dishes by the sink until I'm ready to unload and reload!

I have to say, any time I even touch an egg, I have to bleach the whole kitchen, and every door handle, light switch and the bannisters, so I sympathise
