Murph Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I'm starting this thread for fun. Sorta. My wife works midnights. We both have very heavy schedules. When I cook (and I do, a lot, and enjoy it), I tend to wash pots, pans, and things as I go. Even knives, mixing bowls, ect. By the time the meal is done, there aren't many dishes dirty. On the other hand..... When she cooks, she tends to just throw things aside, and there is a huge cleanup to be done later...... Which can many times turn into the next day, making it even more "less" fun..... Am I being scammed, or do women just think this way? My ex was pretty much the same. Be nice......., but I am curious about this...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Too funny! Apparently we married the same woman. I can have multiple things cooking at once and still get the dishes done before it hits the table. Her? Not so much... Usually looks like a tornado came through the kitchen.

I can have multiple things cooking at once and still get the dishes done before it hits the table. Her? Not so much... Usually looks like a tornado came through the kitchen. That's it, man. My thinking is, turn on the hot water, hit it with some soap, wash it, dry it real quick and put it up. Why do I need to rinse it and put it in the dishwasher? I think they are brainwashed into thinking it's not clean unless it goes through the "machine", even if it still has gunk on it...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 So None of You Have a Dishwasher See. That's how SHE thinks...... Yea, we have one, but I can wash it, just as quick as rinsing it, and it's done. Don't have to put it in, take it out, ect. Are you a girl? =P~/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevef Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 When I do the cooking (couple of times a week or more) I clean as I go. I'm usually left with 1 pan, depending on what's cooking. (That's after I have to search for a counter top to work on and a stove to cook on. Both are usually covered with magazines and mail). My wife is a usually a "pile it in the sink" person. I do like it when my wife cooks tomato sauce, it's a very colorful kitchen when she's done. I know that if you throw pasta at the wall and it sticks it's done.. I think she thinks it works for the sauce as well. :-k .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzep59 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I am not married, but me and my roommates follow this code: If you cook, you don't clean up. If you ate and didn't cook, you must clean. If cooking was a joint effort, so is cleaning up. You also have to rinse off the dishes before the dishwasher, not everything that sticks to plates will come off in the washer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky4 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 So None of You Have a Dishwasher I think it's a bigger pain to load and unload than to just do the dishes. I just walked in the door after working. I have two kids living with me, ages 19 and 23, and I just did the dished they left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
