Our dishwasher is currently broken so it feels like we are drowning in dishes constantly. I try to do them throughout the day but the kids usually want my attention. My husband has been amazing and washing them to. How do you keep up with the house work?
My little dare devil. I can’t turn my back for a second.

I completely understand. My dishwasher caught fire a few weeks ago so we were out of a dishwasher for while. And handwashing is so much work. But you got this. I tried to wash a few and had my oldest (9 year old ) dry and put them away to take a little of the work off of me. Or my husband would put them away when he got home

That happened to us last month! It’s such a pain to wash so many dishes by hand. It takes so long. We bought paper plates, bowls, and cups to make things easier.
I feel like my daughter will be climbing things soon like yours. She can almost get up on the couch and it terrifies me. Just last week she fell off the couch and hit her head

That’s so scary. I’m glad you had help with the dishes. I hate washing them. I usually cook dinner and my husband washes the ones that don’t go into the dishwasher. We turned ours into a frying rack for now until we can get a new one. I’m hoping soon

Thank you. I hate it too. We have to get a new one. We are hoping soon. It took a while for my husband to admit we needed a new one. He was just using it to sterilizer the dishes for a while.

Oh no hopefully she’s okay. He can’t even walk yet but rocking on a chair is a yes for him. His brother was worse tho. I’ve been to the hospital numerous times for a concussion with my oldest.
We did use paper plates for a while but it gets pretty expensive. I’m hoping we get a new one soon tho

Yeah, she’s okay. But I have a feeling she’s going to be climbing literally everything as soon as she can. Sorry to hear about your numerous trips to the hospital with your oldest. Sounds like you’ve had a lot of scares.
Paper products can get expensive depending on how long you have to use them. We washed our paper plates a few times if the plate could be reused! It kind of defeated the purpose!

Oh noooooo! I have been there hand washing is so different when you have a dishwasher. I’m so happy to hear your husband is so helpful though that is amazing!!!

Thank you. His brother was worse in climbing things. He does watch his brother so hopefully he learns what not to do. I hope your little man isn’t too crazy. My oldest had quite a few scares.
I’ve never used a dishwasher as im skeptical about them lol. We are a family of 6 so there is always lots of washing especially when I cook as I hate using the same dish for different things 
. I have my two teens wash their own things, my partner helps or I do them when my two littles are sleeping or playing.
