    Sometimes you need more than one teaspoon during a meal? Say if you have soup and tea and hate to eat soup with the tablespoon.

      as a single dad living with one teenager kid, the two plate strategy was a total game changer.

    He is not your friend, he is just keeping you around for a time when he can’t find some else and feels the urge to kill again.

      Unless they have enough plates and utensils and are willing to risk a mold problem to save up plates with gunks of food over the course of a week to run the dishwasher at good efficiency, it’s far simpler, cheaper, and more hygienic to just wash them by hand.

        In that amount, yes. But usually, dishwasher is more efficient and hygienic

          In hindsight I should have used “or” instead of “and”.

          But of course! I really miss having a dishwasher since I flew back home from the US. I know that they absolutely do a better job at cleaning than humans can, and loading it up properly and keeping it organized is such dopamine hit for my OCD brain.

          If you live alone, though, I’d advise against using it, or at least get a way smaller dishwasher.

    We’re a family of three with a 19 year old, so our cutlery drawer looks just like this unless we ask him to bring all the dishes from his room.

      He’s 19 years old, and you have to ask him to bring his dirty dishes out from his room because he is leaving them all in there?

        Dude I’m 38 soon and I have to bring dishes in from the WFH office once in a while. Watching some YouTube during lunch or whatever. Then back to working. Then family comes home and it’s up out of the chair to start dinner and whatnot, sometimes the dishes get forgotten and left behind.

          Yeah, I can understand that. That’s normal. But a 19 year old eating alone in their room so much, and collecting all of the dishes in the household, so the family has none and has to actively seek them out and ask for them is what’s odd to me.

            Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make it sound like that 19 year old isn’t poorly raised. They definitely are poorly raised. I just meant to say I’m not too far off myself. 😅

              No worries, I think a lot of us have these periods in our lives where we neglect stuff like this at times. Just the 19 year old living at home and hoarding dirty dishes seems to hit different when they need to be asked to bring them out and they’re still living with their parents.

      That struggle is real and universal! We found utensils buried in our back yard, at a friend’s house… it’s nuts!

      Sometimes I use a small spoon for ice cream. Big spoon for cereal though I’m not fuckin around.
