To be honest, I got into this habit from living in NYC where dirty dishes left out could attract roaches. So gross! I did everything in my power to prevent that nastiness. Now we're in the suburbs and I'm still in the habit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-leave-dirty-dishes-out-sometimes#post-509778 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 11:40:21 +0000 birdofafeather 509778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. All the time especially bc we don't have a dishwasher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-leave-dirty-dishes-out-sometimes#post-509661 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 10:44:49 +0000 cascademom 509661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did this morning. I didn't want to, but baby's wake up was weird. We have the cleaning people coming today, so they'll clean out the sink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-leave-dirty-dishes-out-sometimes#post-509656 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 10:43:42 +0000 Mrsbells 509656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes sometimes. i try not to but somtimes I just get tired, since we wash everything by hand </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-leave-dirty-dishes-out-sometimes#post-509644 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 10:40:18 +0000 Alivoo01 509644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! I'm notorious for leaving breakfast dishes. I always rinse them to prevent things sticking on them and leave a bit of water to prevent any "run offs" from sticking (e.g. milk in a cup). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-leave-dirty-dishes-out-sometimes#post-509596 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 10:26:05 +0000 Chillybear 509596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do the dishes once every 24 hours, usually right after dinner. after that they sit until the next day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-leave-dirty-dishes-out-sometimes#post-509580 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 10:22:26 +0000 blackbird 509580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our sink is perpetually half full. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-leave-dirty-dishes-out-sometimes#post-509407 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 08:37:54 +0000 MsLipGloss 509407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I do rinse them, but I have no qualms about leaving a few in the sink. I would rather get a little extra sleep than stress about a few dishes that nobody will ever see but me. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-leave-dirty-dishes-out-sometimes#post-509394 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 08:26:46 +0000 T.H.O.U. 509394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: I agree. I love a clean kitchen and I do worry about smell and bugs but sometimes we are just so tired. </p> <p>We have been getting a lot better and if we do leave dishes out they are rinsed and set neatly on the counter next to the sink. My biggest pet peeve is dishes thrown in the sink! I don't care if they aren't washed right away, but I still need access to my sink! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-leave-dirty-dishes-out-sometimes#post-509388 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 08:18:36 +0000 betsyboop 509388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was one of my new year resolutions! We have an open kitchen so a pile of dishes in the sink is a visual reminder of yet another chore, and I also love waking up in the morning to a clean sink! I'm also concerned about bugs and smell. We'll see how long it lasts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-leave-dirty-dishes-out-sometimes#post-509283 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 00:30:38 +0000 sarac 509283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the dishwasher is full, maybe. But well rinsed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-leave-dirty-dishes-out-sometimes#post-509243 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 23:06:34 +0000 junebugmama 509243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH works 2nd shift and does the dishes.

After doing bottle cleanup, making new bottles, packing lunches, I'm wiped out! They can wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-leave-dirty-dishes-out-sometimes#post-509084 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 21:05:58 +0000 T.H.O.U. 509084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We try to load the dishwasher but sometimes it's full and sometimes we don't get to doing the pans and knives by hand. They are rinsed before we go to bed but we have been known to leave a few overnight. </p>
