How many times a day do you put the dishwasher on?

[NotAnOtter]

we have 6 children athough one does not use knife or fork yet and in the holidays ours frequently goes on 3 times a day!

what am i doing wrog or is this normal?

[juuule]

Once, maybe twice some days.
Do wash some dishes in the sink, here and there.
11 of us.

[snice]

NEVER
[bitter woman with no dishwasher emotion]

[sagacious]

Once: last thing at night

[VanillaPumpkin]

Once a day. Sometimes twice in three days iyswim. There are only 4 of us though and I wash up some bits (pots and pans etc.)

[Bronze]

Once except the odd ocassion (once a month maybe) where its twice. I have 3 dc so there are five of us.

[SqueakyPop]

2-3 times a day

[Bronze]

I know its not important but ocassion occasion

[fizzbuzz]

There used to be 6 of us here. 3 adults, 2 teens, and dd.

It used to go on 3 or 4 times a day. But since eldest ss moved out, about 2 or3 times a day

[ellideb]

Oh but to have a dishwasher....

[Anna8888]

Once when there are three of us.

Twice and sometimes three times when there are five of us or more.

[NotAnOtter]

that is reassuring actually

but juule i dont know how you do that!!

[bagofhammers]

There are only 5 of us so once a day max. I sometimes just rinse it and leave it a bit longer. My aunt sometimes has all her meals at work because she works long hours. DH always has his evening meal at work and quite often has no breakfast. I think we would use it less if we ate off plates instead of bowls.

Once a day - at the moment 4 of us. When my daughters were home and one's boyfriend earlier int he summer I was having to put it on twice a day however.

[solo]

Once or twice a week!

[NotAnOtter]

hmm good economic thinking bagofhammers

[solo]

But only small family unfortunately and I should learn to read the entire category and title before replying so I don't look completely stupid. Sorry!

[NotAnOtter]

omg solo how lovely!!

do you wash up as well?

[bagofhammers]

I didn't read the topic either. It is my ambition to join the owls soon though . I had a friend when I was a school who had 2 dishwashers and they never put their things away in cupboards.

[NotAnOtter]

get working it on then bagofhammers!!!

that family sound fab!

[ladytophamhatt]

Btw only once a day here....but we have loads of plates and cutlery.
Thats the trick you see, have tonnes of it all so you don't need to keep putting it on.

[NotAnOtter]

we do LTH - but the dw is full anyway!

I am one up on you now!!!!

[boxofrogs]

Two dishwashers? What a brilliant idea.

[bagofhammers]

And it doesn't really take up any more room if you use it as a cupboard too.
