Surely parents who Wash By Hand are setting a much better example to their children than those parents who Use Dish Washers?

I Wash By Hand and it is far more stimulating for me and my DS than Using a Dish Washer. It's totally my choice and I know everyone who does it differently is a actually evil and hell bent on destroying society.

Evidence clearly shows that childrens whose parents Use Dish Washers are likely to become looters who exist on Greggs sausage rolls.

I completly judge the quality of someones relationsjip with thier child and how much they actually love them by virtue of this one arbitary factor alone

I don't even know why people have plates if all they are going to do is shove them in a Dish Washer

gosh mandarin is such an old fashioned language. really you may as well teach latin. though my two are semi fluent in this as we covered it whilst breastfeeding.

Ooh, I wish I had a dishwasher. I really need one !
DH is stubborn, and we're too broke.
One day !

He sounds controlling Juggling

ValarMorghulis · 08/02/2012 14:30

agree with wilson. what sort of father puts food and clothing above essential parenting tools.

leave him. soon. before he damages your childs development further

Deafworm · 08/02/2012 14:31

In fairness if you are putting your dc into the dishwasher (surely the only way you will damage them) you may need to go back to the instruction book. We have a dishwasher and a side full of pots we are just a family of slatterns therefore my dc will be far too lazy to riot negating any negative impacts dishwashing them using the dishwasher will have

catgirl1976 · 08/02/2012 14:31

Yes leave the bastard

What's the stance on owning a dishwasher but still WUBH?

lisaro · 08/02/2012 14:38

Maryz What about people who do neither and use disposable plates, knives and forks?

Surely you know that expecting children to use knives and forks is repressing them?

aldiwhore · 08/02/2012 14:38

Maryz have you tried steaming salmon in it yet? Lovely, especially if you use a lemon scented tablet.

AllDirections · 08/02/2012 14:38

YABU

It takes a lot of brain cells to load a dishwasher correctly. The UDWPs are obviously far superior to WHBPs, therefore their children are probably gifted and talented.

JugglingWithSnowballs · 08/02/2012 14:38

Ooh, now I want one even more, Maryz Smile

< still pondering leaving the bastard ... will keep you all posted >

ValarMorghulis · 08/02/2012 14:39

and encouraging violence. knives are used to stab things fgs!

I have a DH who UDW

and I've noticed that my cleaner also UDW - obviously she is BU as everyone knows that a good cleaner would WBH Hmm

Matches · 08/02/2012 14:44

In fact my DH works really really really really hard at UDW, so hard that there isn't room for 2 parents who UDW in our house. Someone needs to be there for the plates when they come out.

catgirl1976 · 08/02/2012 14:45
