Doing the dishes after putting the children to bed is a time for me to organize my thoughts, reflecting of the day just finished and preparing for the day ahead. We have a dishwasher, and use it regularly, but sometimes I like to do them by hand anyway. And there are those times, when doing them earlier, that one of the kids wants to help. I'm glad for the opportunity to spend this time with them. Yes, we could put them in the machine and go do something else together, but I find that doing chores together is oftentimes fun.

With 3 kids, dishwashers acutally free up more time to spend chatting and playing with them. (and not too mention my hands look 10 times worse when I hand wash things!) Plus, there are always the pots and pans and other various things that I can train my kids to serve as they wash them! Long live the dishwasher! (and the clothes dryer!)

Maybe we will get one of them someday (even though they are crazy expensive) if we have more kids! I feel you, Doug! This post made me happy – dishwashers are pretty rare in Japan.

It is the only household chore that I told my wife I wouldn't do. If she made me do literally every other household chore, i would gladly trade them all for not having to wash dishes by hand. In regards to #4, though, washing dishes by hand uses much, much more water than using a dishwasher Having to wash dishes by hand is most definitely a result of the fall.
