I feel like all i do is dishes, morning noon and night, is there anyway i can make it easier besides getting a dishwasher, i got one its broken.
Re: Dishes dishes dishes
besides the advice of getting a new one or getting someone to fix it for you....
You might already do it, but I've found that filling your dishes with water when you put them in the sink helps a lot when I clean them. Cups and bowls or any plates that are deep enough. It helps get the stuck-on food soften and easier to clean. Also doing ones that have food on them that you know will stick worse right away instead of later helps (cheese is a big one).
I also prefer to do dishes as I go along while cooking so that the entire sink doesn't fill up so high and fast. The more dishes I do now, the less I'll have to do later.
I don't know what else to suggest since the amount of dishes you'll end up doing is the same either way, just a matter of when you do them. That is, unless you start using disposable products or eating out. :-P

"Severe truth is expressed with some bitterness.
yeah thanks thats a great idea i think my main issue is that we have just moved into a new big house and in my old house i used like 4 or everything so now all the stuff that was in storage need to be washed before it can be used, plus the daily dishes. I think im going to need to just get the storage dishes out of the way and then the daily ones wont be such a mission. lol
Did you buy the house? Did it come w/ a home warranty? I cashed in soo much the 1st year w/ the home warranty.
Aside from getting your dishwasher fixed, do the dishes as soon as they get dirty so they're not sitting around with stuck on food.
However, for that tough stuck on food, soak the pan/pot/dish in hot water with a dryer sheet. Dryer sheets remove static cling from your clothes but they also help the "static cling" of food on dishes.
