[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't the kids use the dishwasher? Loading (including rinsing) and unloading the dishwasher is still a chore. Some dishes must be handwashed and that's fine--but if it can go in the dishwasher, why not? Making them handwash and creating extra work makes you sound like a control freak.[/quote] +1 we started at 1st grade that scraping and loading the dishwasher was a chore. We don't force the issue if someone has to run off to a practice/afterschool event. Me or hubby will always say that we'll do the dishes(stay behind parent) - go get ready for soccer. It's not about the chore, but about being a family team and helping each other.[/quote]
