why women don't like to do the dishes in their own houses ?

Answer 1

It's a never ending job. No matter how many dishes you do, there are still dishes to do!

Doing dishes is easy, it's what they represent or symbolize.

My ex husband and I would get home from work at the same time. I would cook while he drank beer and watched TV. I would take care of our daughter and her needs while he drank beer and watched TV. I would do the dishes while he drank beer and watched TV.

If the dishes didn't get done immediately, he would sit there and gripe at me for not doing them. I would remind him that he's been sitting there drinking beer and watching TV and I worked all day too. I worked in the printing industry running presses, a very physical job.

He only wanted to take care of the outdoor things. Well, if we lived on a ranch, that would make sense. 95% of the time there was nothing to do outside.

Dishes are just something that always need done and a convienient excuse for a jerk to gripe about what a lousy housekeeper his wife is.

I'm happy to say that I divorced him and I own a dishwasher now.

I strongly believe that an automatic dishwasher is one of the secrets to a happy marriage.

Answer 2

You mean... when you go to dinner parties in other people's houses your wife is always the first to offer to help to clean up and than she goes to the kitchen with some other women?

Of course! That's where all the gossip and all the juicy stories are...
When she has to do the dishes at her own place, it's just plain daily routine. Especially when there aren't any helping hands or fun people to talk to.

Answer 3

As a woman who does the dishes in her own house I must respond that often we don't want to do the dishes because we also made the food that went on those plates, made a list and bought the food that went on those plates, put those plates on the table for them to be eaten off of, and washed them and put them away the last time they were dirty. It is a monotonous, mundane, repetitive job...
Do you want to do the dishes?

Answer 4

The same reason men don't like to do dishes in their own houses. Nobody likes doing dishes!

Answer 5

Most don't have a problem with it. It's when the men who don't do anything around the house automatically expect them to do it that it becomes a problem. You have two perfectly good hands. You can wash your own dishes. It's not hard. Pick up a scrubber, fill up the sink with soapy water, and wash the food off of the plate you just used.

Answer 6

I dont like to do them when my rules arent followed. My rules are:

1.) Scrap excess food into the trash
2.) Rinse plates, and cups, and stack to the side

If this is not followed, then I dislike doing the dishes because the people involved in making the messes cant respect me enough to make my job easier.

Answer 7

It depends on the women if they weigh 250lbs or more and watch guiding light on t.v. then they don't know what dishwashing soap actually is.If you get these bubbly happy eager to please types they love washing dishes.I am single and live alone so I am responsible for my own mess.If I had a female to help me I would spend half the time helping her with the dishes and the other half playing with her at the sink .

Answer 8

Really? I enjoy doing the dishes; it's relaxing. And I'm very territorial about it, so nobody else is allowed to touch them (unless I'm VERY ill).

I've tried doing other people's dishes, but other women seem quite territorial as well, and generally tell me to buzz off so they can do them themselves.

Answer 9

Nowadays, many, if not most, women think that if they do housework, it means they are stupid and uneducated. Hence, women feel it is not good to take pride in a good, clean house. So, they refuse to cook, clean the dishes, do the laundry, and so on. You will never get a woman to do any work that she does not want to do. If you insist on it, that becomes abuse. If you want a neat and clean home and cannot afford a maid, you have to do it all yourself. It is not a wife's job to help with the housework. If you get a divorce, she will take the house, anyway. So, basically, you are her employee. Equal sharing of household responsibilities between husband and wife means, these days, that the wife gets AT LEAST half her husband's income and he does AT LEAST half of all the work. On the other hand, he never has the right even to ask IF she earns, let alone share her income. And, as I said, as she is the owner of the house and the husband is only the employee, she never needs to do housework.

Answer 10

Its probably for the same reason that its the painters house that needs painting.
Women work nowadays. This simply isnt the age when they are all stay at home wives'/moms. And since they do work outside the home, they want help. Its not an unfair request if you think about it. Back in the day, it was the womans' job to keep the household going while the man earned the money. Women are earning the money now as well since 1 income (the mans') isnt enough anymore. If we as women have to help him financially, shouldnt he help at home?
