[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a recent discussion with other moms I learned most people run their dishwasher every day. One family with 4 kids runs theirs 2x a day. This and the paper plates don’t compute for me.

The only paper product we use is toilet paper. We have paper towels available, but mostly use cloth rags. We have cloth napkins, China plates and glass drinking cups. We have 2 elementary age kids and we still have every plate and bowl from the set we received at our wedding 13 years ago - none broken. We get takeout once a week and we unpackaged it and place the food on plates. We run the dishwasher every 2nd or 3rd day and no one in my house washes dishes more than 10 min a day and we never go to bed with a dirty dish in the sink. I cook dinner from scratch 3-4 nights a week and make baked oatmeal, muffins, or pancakes for breakfast a few times a week and usually make cookies or another baked good once a week for dessert. I don’t understand how people (who are not on a Tv show) are generating so many dishes that paper seems necessary. [/quote]

We don’t use paper plates except on isolated rare occasions (I do keep paper plates on hand if someone is really sick, or occasionally for pizza night or similar)  I think it’s much nicer to eat on real dishes, but how on earth do you go 2-3 days between running the dishwasher  with a family of 4? We run ours once a day and sometimes twice. I’m not criticizing, just genuinely wondering what model you have and if it fits a ton of stuff. [/quote]
