I think all the dishwasher comments are funny! When we had a dishwasher I ran it at least twice a day! I would do breakfast lunch, and then dinner. You wash dishes more than once a day if you wash by hand. I wash dishes about 5 times a day!

happyface that's good because I'm not feeling fiercely redneck today haha
Right before leaving the house yesterday to go pick up my two kids new baby snakes, I whacked my elbow really hard on a door frame and busted up my funny bone. I was up all night every hour in pain last night and I'm soooooo tired.Comment

Paper plates, paper bowls, paper towels. I do use plastic cups. Each kid has their own cup that they use everyday. I only use plastic plates/bowls if I forget to buy paper or run out.Comment

I was thinking that too- we use "real" everything, plastic plates and cups, real silverware, and cloth washcloths/ hand towels. We do 3 loads of dishes in the dishwasher a day, sometimes 4, between daycare and our own dishes. Plus we do around 2 loads of laundry total too!Comment

My soul hurts for all of the paper plate usage.
. Ok, that might be a stretch.
But really, in our house, we only use real plates. I have a container of foam plates my mother gave me to help out when I had my youngest child (she'll be 3 next month). We finally opened it this spring to use for painting.
Then again, my house uses family cloth, reusable feminine products, etc. I'm quite proud of my homemade liners.

Corelle
I used to use plastic, but really didn't like how it just didn't wash or dry well in the dishwasher, so I hand washed all the plastic dishes, then they would take forever to dry, taking up so much room, before they could be stacked again and put away.
Now I use corelle dishes for just about everything, they are so much easier to clean (in the dishwasher and hand washing), light, stack small. They are break resistant (not proof, but started using them 1.5 years ago with 1.5-3 year olds and they haven't broken any, I have a few over the years on my own corelle, but it's rare, they usually handle counter height drops fine). The ones I use most for the kids are the 8.5" divided plates, but I also sometimes use the small bowls or plates for snacks.
Their open stock ones are on sale right now on their web site shopworldkitchen. I'm not associated with corelle, just a huge fan.Comment

You are exactly like me, right down to the family cloth, reusable feminine products, etc.
I WILL use paper plates, however, for parties here only because there aren't enough "real" plates. I bought a couple of packs for my meet the baby party coming up and cringed. It will all be ok ... that's what I tell myself. ::
I run the dishwasher twice daily, which isn't bad considering how many people are here. To be fair, though, I don't have all of the children here for breakfast time (some arrive right after).Comment
nope. nahuh, nada, NO way.
