WBHP are far better parents than UDWP parents

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

I'm sorry but I can't touch water. My very long fake nails will fall off, the steam will ruin my makeup and I can't that long in my heels!!
I have a dishwasher so I can spend time feeding my husband beer and shoving calpol in my kids mouths to get them to sleep. If OP has a problem she needs to say it to my face!! Angry

My grandfather used to let his dog lick his plates. His theory was that dog saliva was sufficient to make plates suitable for re-use.

What have you got against EWBH!

Research has showen conclusively (links to websites that agree with me) that there is a 0.0000017% increase in children's emotional intelligence if you EWBH.

It's the natural way, its how humans did it before nasty western technology took over.

Well I come from a loving family - unlike some of you. My mum comes over and WBH ALL of our dishes. I thought all GPs did this if they loved their GC?

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 09/02/2012 09:41

I am a WOHM and DH is a SAHD therefore, I have no idea whether he UDW or WUBH as clearly I am never involved in any form of domestic chore at all.

I think it is healthy for our sons to see a completely inequitable division of labour between men and women from the other side. I plan to redress the adult / child labour inequality shortly by sending the boys up some chimneys.

IS this thread serious ? imunsure how far the OPs tongue is in their cheek , cos i kinda want to reply but what with me having a dishwasher which is bad enough APPARENTLY i make look a fool for replying

lesley33 · 09/02/2012 09:44

mrsjay - No not serious at all

lesley33 · 09/02/2012 09:45

And when did WBHParenting come in? In my day we just called it WBH. Everything these days has to be a way of parenting, rather than just getting on with it!

Tuts at the thought of putting tongue in cheek during WBH. Only UDW people would do that, it just shows they have lax moral fibre.

FourThousandHoles · 09/02/2012 09:46

My dishes wash themselves, I have no idea whether they WBH or UDW as I just leave them to it.

I can't believe you all put up with such entitled crockery. Imagine having to share houseroom with something that expected to be washed after use :(

mrsjay · 09/02/2012 10:16

OH OK thanks lesley i am newish to mumsnet and sometimes i dont know Confused im a dishwashing parent , I feel i have let my children down in someway

Whatmeworry · 09/02/2012 10:40

Extended Wash By hand.

You extend your hand, the dog/cat/meerkat/sloth does the rest

It's green, natural, organic and lentil friendly, and its how humasn have always done it.

catgirl - yes, my staff are forrin. How did you guess? I would like to employ a rosy-cheeked Anglo Sax0n girl 'from the village', as you suggested. However, being a meedja type, dahling, I live in London, so the nearest village is Dulwich Vilalge, and the girls there, well, they don't do domestic servitude, IYKWIM.

lesley - it is all right for you, having parents who are happy WBD. You don't know you're born Angry. My mother has NPD, and gaslights me, so I've gone NC with her. It's best for the plates. If she came round, I'd need gallons of anti-bacterial organic washing up liquid to Get Rid of her lingering toxicity.
