to expect my dishwasher to actually work

[goshhhhhh]

Dishwasher is two years old. A replacement fir the one we inherited & we had for about 10 years. It has just been repaired for the third time in so many weeks. It has just gone bang! Thank god I was here as it smelt v suspicious. Pulled out & unplugged. Would I be unreasonable to get the repair man to do the washing up when he gets here?

YANBU - give him a pair of Marigolds & promise him a cuppa when he is done.

I would be asking for a new replacement personally, this one is clearly duff.

Think we are going to. Repair man coming Tuesday so going to introduce the kids to the lost art of washing up this weekend.

How are the kids coping goshhhhhh ?

I think disposable plates and cutlery and use disposable oven dishes.

Split chores. DH cooking now - so I'm washing. 12 year old Dd being not so 'dear' so she may be washing up. Repair man coming Tuesday. May make dh have the conversation with him....

Iwill think I need to invoke the rule we had when in a student share. If you cook , you wash up....he might use less pans then! Must be more grateful!

Dishwasher update. Repair man been . Leak inside machine caused it to arc & short. They are going to replace it free of charge. Great customer service.
