Where the washing up goes

I know it may sound ridiculous but this is pretty much the only thing me and DP argue about.

One of us thinks that every thing should stay on the side piled neatly, pans soaking, cutlery in a bowl soaking. The other thinks majority should go in the sink waiting, pans soaking.

Who's right, who's wrong?

We do have a dishwasher, it gets used maybe twice a year. Disagreements haven't quite reached daily use levels yet.

On the side.

Another who thinks there MUST be a solution to the dishwasher

however if you are leaving washing up, it obviously lives on the side, as you might want to use the sink.
Slight curve ball of course, you could leave it in the washing up bowl and still be able to use the sink........

Though as that water goes cold, it isn't great, so I'd rather leave it on the side.

@DinosaurDiana

You’re both wrong, put it in the dishwasher.
Hmm

It still sound like less faff to connect the dishwasher once a day to put it on than messing around with dirty dishes!

Otherwise, nothing goes in the sink until it's actually being cleaned in it.

Why on earth don’t you use the dishwasher? Are you both masochists?
