TheUnknownNeophyte

I've been doing dishes daily now for almost a year, and when I do it, it's boring, so I have to think, and that's how I came up with such an idea. My idea is that the parents should start buying plates, bowls, cups, utensils, and tupperware specifically for each individual. 2 plates, bowls, cups, utensils and Tupperware for john, because he doesn't eat much, and 5 of all that for joey, because he uses a lot to eat a lot. This way, you don't have to worry about doing thousands of everybody's dishes. Each member of the family cleaning their own dishes, my dream come true, and probably yours too.

A good way to know which plate is yours is if they're color coded, or have names on the bottom, E.T.C.

Thank you for reading, and don't forget to answer the poll!

No. This may not work for occasions and other family members.

TheUnknownNeophyte

@natbarons I would appreciate it if you further explained your objection

@TheUnknownNeophyte, I personally like the idea. This way each family meber feels more special and responsible for their dishes.  It maybe not for everyone, but a good option for some families.

The person with the least amount of work should do all the dishes.

@Fascism is this something that all fascists believe in? I think if we separate it equally we can all be happy

Fascism

@TheUnknownNeophyte No this isn't what all fascists believe in. That's up to the household. In my household, I prefer that the person doing the least amount of work should do all the dishes, unless they are unable to do so.

@Fascism, I think division of labor in household should really not be based on political views.  Your approach is reasonable for many households, and equal workload works for others. If there are young children many wouldn't expect them to do dishes, but some would. In either case personalized dishes is a good idea regardless who washes them

@agsr I didn't say it should be based on political views. I stated that it's "up to the household", which is basically the exact same thing you said: "If there are young children many wouldn't expect them to do dishes, but some would." It is up to the household, but in my household, I would prefer the person doing the least amount of work doing the dishes, unless he is unable to do so. I just don't see the need for personalized dishes.

@Fascism I'll respect the rules you've established for your house
