Our 'battle' continues this week as to either washing the dishes by hand or running the dishwasher. We really don't have that many dishes during the day so I see no reason to run it when a few glasses and a plate could be handwashed.

So, are the dishes in your house handwashed or go into the dishwasher?
 
Ours go straight to the dishwasher, no question about that. When my mom is here she always wants to wash them by hand because she says it's just a few things, but it's an argument that just doesn't convince me.
 
Usually the dishwasher here too. Either way, I don't do them - that is my son's job:)
 
Dishwasher. No longer negotiable after the house we lived in before this not having one, or room for one. I said any house we bought / lived in had to have a dishwasher and garbage disposal or I wasn't coming.
 
I can't imagine not having a dishwasher! When I was married and the kids were smaller, we'd visit his grandmother in Texas. Cleaning up after every meal took hours without a dishwasher! It made me really appreciate mine. Now if I could only get the teenage son to ACTUALLY PUT the dishes in there....
 
we dont have one so has to be hand wash and we do it between us one washes one drys and the kids put away so doesnt take to long

Do not get me started.
 
dishwasher for sure. with 5 of us, we usually can fill that thing up at least once a day, usually twice.

This is soooo us! lol! Oh and I have a problem with trying to fill other people's dishwashers because I know everyone has their way. AND you better not be puttnig dishes in my dishwasher without rinsing them off first!!!!! lol!
 
We bought all new appliances a few months ago and I've run the dishwasher maybe 6 times. It's just the 2 of us, so unless we have a big family dinner or whatever it takes days and DAYS to fill the dishwasher. If it's just a few dishes here and there through the day I wash 'em by hand, easy peasy.
 
We have a dishwasher, but the pots and pans set that my mother bought me last year for Christmas cannot be washed in the dishwasher, so I have to do some by hand, too. I usually run the dishwasher every other day, depending on how much I've cooked, and then have to do all the pots and pans every couple days, too.
 
Dishwasher all the way (except for special things that can't go in it) - that's DH's job though!
