And in lieu of dishwashers....Probationary Fire Patrolmen!

Having lived 8 years now without a dishwasher (and a family of 5) I actually find washing the dishes relaxing.

I wish I felt the same way about hanging up the laundry! No drier either.

i have a drier but love to hang my laundry. i have a dishwasher and love to use it sometimes it leaves little specks on the glasses, and my husband throws tirades against it--he never had a dishwasher before we lived in this house., and thinks this one is "useless." ignore, ignore, ignore.

i love cooking, but hate cleaning up. i don't mind cleaning the rest of my house, but wish i had a washing up genie in my dish soap bottle

Baking is especially therapeutic for me

i'm with you on this! i love a really complicated recipe that requires my complete concentration. the more challenging it is, the more relaxing, in a way, because you simply don't have time to worry about other things in your life. i used to bake all the time in school; now i rarely have the time, which is a real bummer. i'm looking forward to thanksgiving though!

while i don't have a family of five i have never had a dishwasherand enjoy the cleanup as well as the cooking. i used to let my husband help but since he is obsessive-compulsive way over the border to neurotic we used to run out of hot water when he rinsed the dishes - and i have a 40 gaollon hot water heater!!!!

odd - i enjoy the laundry and ironing too.

I usually enjoy the cooking, especially when I'm making something I want to make and am not pressured (uh oh, I'm hosting Thanksgiving). However, I hate the cleaning up part. I just started a new topic over in General about when to use the dishwasher.
