WBHP are far better parents than UDWP parents

[catgirl1976]

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

...that is all... As you were!

matches - you enable him to wash those dishes

YABU It takes more power to heat the water to WBH than to UDW, so more likely to be less well off and resort to Greggs

But catgirl - he is a man, with a degree in something sicence-y to do with computers from a RG University, and he has broad shoulders, so has both brain and brawn^, and UDW is something he is amazing at, better than me, I couldn't work all those hours UDW, I couldn't do it properly, just like he could never MN as well as me .... so surely it is best for the plates and the apple laptop that we share the workload this way round?

I should add for reasons of boasting rather than relevance that my plates are Vera Wang ones, and are therefore both costly and stylish, and they had their own special section in John Lewis, they weren't in with all the common and garden plates, that would have been silly

I joined my local National Dishwashing Trust Coven circle but all the other mothers are so beastly to me because I only use Costco Cleaning Fluid on my dishes.

*Natural" Dishwashing Trust. The National Dishwashing Trust are an abomination. Splitters....

Are they the Wedgewood Vera Wang plates matches? Because if they are then YABU for putting them in a dishwasher. Why not hire a darling little girl from the village to hand wash them for you? much better

whatmeworry Our NDT is vair good. They make their own hummous for each meeting

And what about all those precious moments those UDW mothers miss, lovingly wiping the grease off the pan and admiring the sponge?

exactky

you can't build a rocket without an empty bottle of fairy

it's just selfish

Puts head above parapet to post ...

I like going to Greggs. We don't have the sausage rolls though as we're vegetarian. And we always eat in unless it's sunny and we want to eat our pasties on the steps of the butter market. Are we posh ? Don't tell me - we were until we asked !

You mean you actually wash your dishes?

I thought everyone did what we do, use the once and then throw away.

Your poor, poor children

To do list:
Check with staff the current policy on WBH or UDW and long term impact on the Scaffolding Parenting Stats

catgirl - yes they are Wedgewood Vera Wang plates, and yes they would be better cared for washed by hand. Why do you think I'm so annoyed about my cleaner lazily UDW?

I'm also having trouble with my nanny. I have a strict policy that only organic, made-from-scratch food is served on my plates, but the slattern last week put ready bought pasta on them. Oh, the horror.

Good god matches - report her. She may as well have fed them dirt.

You poor woman - your staff sound dreadful. Are they forrin?

Ready-made pasta doesn't scratch.

Maryz am not surprised you avoided eating at his :)

Now if you get a goar to lick them clean, that's different

A goat I mean.

Ihave no idea what a goar is

my dishwasher is broken. How can you be so insensitive to bang on about it like everyone has a choice. I actually think I'm a better parent when I UDW. At the moment there is a lot of sighing and banging dishes and the washing up takes me ALL BLOODY DAY. My children are suffering because of it. Hiding this thread now as it's making me cry.
(the sentence about the sighing and banging of dishes was infact true :o)
(now where did I put that repair number)

Maryz my grandpa used to do the same. He used to let the dog lick it then "put it away". I ahve no idea if he was teasing me or was serious.

Stealth if you feel you really have to UDW, then any parent who really cared for their DCs would have a back up dishwasher.

Really....... it's the least UWDPs can do for their poor, poor children :)

(My dishwasher needs cleaning :( the filters are gunky but it's such a yuck job I am putting it off)

"I have no space for a dishwasher but am hatching a plan to buy my mothers house"

Your mother is so unreasonable! If she cared about you and your children at all she would give you her house and find somewhere small she can live instead!

I hand washed with my first, but used a dishwasher with my second. I can't believe I've damaged my family in such a careless and callous manner. :( That explains why one of them is, well, so disappointing

Well I thougt I'd give wubh a go, see whether its worth it. I can always get the dw fixed at a later date.

Baby don't worry. People have been wubh for hundreds of years with no ill effects. Udw is a recent thing. Good if you can manage it but don't beat yourself up if not
