to ask when breakfast things are cleaned up in your house

[Toadinthehole]

In the Toad household, we all have porridge for breakfast. That leaves a porridge pot, four bowls, cutlery, some porridge on the table and probably a few other things left out like the sugar. There is also crumbs etc from lunch-making. I generally clean this up when I get in from work and start making dinner.

Is this feral?

Sounds normal to me

Might be easier to put straight into a sink of hot soapy water and then wash when you get in. Porridge is a pig to get off when it sets.

I do mine after the school run, but I don't go to work until 4pm.

Sounds fine to me. Ours is done at breakfast but only as it's used again at lunch

I normally come home to everyone else's lunch stuff on top of the breakfast stuff.

Dreaming of a dishwasher one day.

If it is, then I am also feral. I would rather have an extra 5 minutes in bed than make time to wash up after breakfast. I'd run some water into the cooking pan and bowls, and then just abandon it all to be cleaned up after work. If I'm feeling really organised I'll do it as soon as I get in, rather than cleaning up at the same time as making dinner!

Same here! Not enough time to wash pots in the morning.

Everything is cleared to the sink to be washed at night if I'm'm at work, or later in the morning if I'm not.

If dh is around and not me then everything is left on the table. I hate this.

They're cleaned up at breakfast time here. I'm a SAHM but am out most mornings, I couldn't leave the house knowing there was a pile of dirty dishes waiting for me when I got home!

On a work day ours can stay out til tea time unless dp gets chance

On a non work day usually done after school run

I wash up all dirty dishes after tea each day. Thats whebn the kitchen gets its daily scrub down.

We have to be ou of the door by 8am. We usually have cereal and toast. I do them as soon as I get in.

It's usually 4pm

yabu. Adding "to ask" doesn't make it an aibu question, why do people do that.

Clear up your dishes whenever you like.

Always left till after evening meal whether I'm at work or home. We only wash up once a day. So mugs from the evening would wait nearly 24 hours

I try and get it all in the kitchen sink before school run and cereal etc back in the cupboard and table wiped. They get washed when I get back from school run or with lunch stuff or if I am out all day before starting on dinner.

Always do them before taking the kids to school. Sometimes so early that a couple of breakfast bowls miss the breakfast dishes and are left til lunch, or supper...

Dishwasher unpacked the night before so morning/ lunch dishes go straight in. Quick wipe down in the morning and proper clean after supper.

Saturdays.

DH is a clean freak and washes up straight after breakfast. I
usually chuck things back into cupboards and wipe down surfaces before rushing out the door.
I just couldn't stand the idea of coming in to a messy kitchen.

The rest if the house is usually a bit messy but clean kitchen and made beds are a must!

All waits till the next dishwasher load

Stacked in the sink at the very least with the table wiped. If I have time they're put in the dishwasher.

I'm sitting at the dinner table now looking at a box of Special K.

What is this breakfast of which you speak?

I choose sleep over breakfast anytime (no children)

Straight after breakfast here. But I'm on mat leave so not rushing out to work.

2yo DD will potter between kitchen and playroom while I do it and baby DS will be in bouncy chair on kitchen floor watching me.

I put them in the dishwasher and switch it on straight after breakfast every day-even on the days I leave from work at 7.30am .
