But it's waaaaay better compared to when my twins were on bottles 8 times a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1870934 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 21:55:26 +0000 sarac 1870934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a clean as you go person, so pretty much as I use something. Often a pan will soak in the sink overnight, but that's it. I don't tolerate disorder in my kitchen, especially. Also, I would go nuts without a dishwasher! Props to those of you who handwash everything. I think I'd throw out all but a single dish for each of us, so that nothing could build up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1870916 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 21:16:42 +0000 lawbee11 1870916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a dishwasher so we usually run it once/day (after dinner) and unload it in the morning. We didn't have a dishwasher in our last house so we used paper plates unless we had company...I hate washing dishes by hand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1870912 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 21:12:34 +0000 fairy 1870912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Load &amp; unload the dishwasher once, sometimes twice, a day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1870815 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 19:47:05 +0000 Blueberry 1870815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use our dishwasher for storage.. and I'm totally spoiled because I may do the dishes twice maybe three times a week. DH is usually the one that washes them. I hate dishes! But I could do laundry all day lol. I don't know why I find it relaxing to get clothes clean and folded and put away </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1870446 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 14:19:41 +0000 yin 1870446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3x a day...

I do have some dishes that happen because of lunch prep and breakfast, and soooometimes I'll do them that morning, but more likely, I do them before I make dinner and then after dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1870105 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 11:23:00 +0000 mrs. wagon 1870105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once, at night, we load the dishwasher. That's why we have a giant sink! It's always overflowing by the time I get to the dishes after dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1870099 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 11:21:27 +0000 IRunForFun 1870099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually just once or maybe twice, depending. We occasionally wash them up/put them in the dishwasher after dinner, or the next morning I'll wash pots/pans from the night before. I hate hand-washing dishes and our apartment didn't have a dishwasher, so we got a portable one! Lifesaver! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1870097 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 11:18:51 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1870097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too many! And we don't have a dish washer. I am the dishwasher!!!! I make my husband help on weekends but he is so lazy and just let's them pile up and get gross so even then I usually end up doing more. I really hate it but c'est la vie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1870094 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 11:16:08 +0000 Adira 1870094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a dishwasher, so that does most of the work. We only really wash pots/pans and Xander's dishes. So during the week, only once at night. On the weekends, we'll wash Xander's dishes after each meal, but there's only like 4-5 things to wash, so it's not a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1870091 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 11:14:26 +0000 Anagram 1870091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once a day---but I just mean that once a day (usually right when I get home from work) I go around the house and pick up every random cup and what-not and stick it in the dishwasher.</p> <p>Pots and pans I clean once a day, also usually after work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1870088 Fri, 19 Sep 2014 11:13:18 +0000 looch 1870088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After every meal, which means on weekends, three times a day, and during the week, sometimes just once.</p> <p>Maybe you need LESS dishes, not more? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1868801 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 16:45:19 +0000 cheesehead 1868801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: I'm with you on this one, we just do them every couple of days or as the dish washer gets full. But we rinse everything before it goes in the dishwasher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1868796 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 16:43:35 +0000 tinyperson 1868796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: I don't either - if I know I'm working at home the next day, I might let them go...and I'll do them that day after lunch or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1868795 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 16:42:47 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 1868795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Either no times or like, two or three times. Depending on how the day is going...! Less bow that LO is at a school that has a no food-in policy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1868792 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 16:39:16 +0000 loveisstrange 1868792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh lord. I feel like such a slacker. We seriously dont even do them every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1868788 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 16:37:54 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1868788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband usually does them once in the morning. We have a dishwasher, so he usually unloads and reloads or just loads more into it and runs it, depending on the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1868766 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 16:21:36 +0000 tinyperson 1868766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1868764 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 16:21:08 +0000 coopsmama 1868764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do our dishes around here after every meal so 3x a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1868702 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 15:41:21 +0000 Kimberlybee 1868702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL! I know it, the dishes just pile up so I always wash after each meal. I always warm food up in glass or ceramic in the microwave. Then for DD I transfer the food to one of her plates. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1868701 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 15:40:41 +0000 snowjewelz 1868701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weekdays really just once, unless we used a lot of stuff to prep breakfast I'd squeeze in washing dishes before leaving for work. Then it's just after dinner. But throughout the night I'd wash a cup, a bowl, anything that I use. I don't like leaving things there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1868698 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 15:39:38 +0000 Synchronicity 1868698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We rely heavily on the dishwasher, so I generally only end up handwashing once, after dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1868697 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 15:39:10 +0000 .twist. 1868697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So many times! my husband refuses to put plastic in the dishwasher so I feel like there are always dishes to do! Maybe a sign we need less plastic. </p> <p>If it were up to me, every damn thing would go into the dishwasher! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-a-day-do-you-do-the-dishes-1#post-1868693 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 15:37:01 +0000 mrbee 1868693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doing them for the second time today right now. Honestly sometimes I wonder if the dishes are breeding and having dish babies, because I don't even know where all the dishes come from!</p> <p>How many times a day do you do the dishes? </p>
