:iagree what YM states . Even my ILs said it is not good , said water will get wasted blah blah, clothes will not be washed properly. They said to go for semi-automatic. as YM says by point was also same what is use if I had to do the work when something is automatic. But proved them wrong. You know now each of the IL bil ,SIL & MIL have got fully automatic washing machine. I am planning for an Dishwasher now. Any suggestion would be great.
Dear YM, You see that is how it is at my place. The DH is subservient to MIL and agrees to whatever she says! To be honest, it is not that I have to wash clothes. But we are having a lot of problems with the maids since so many months. So I suggested my MIL to go for fully-automatic machine because when the maid doesn't come, the MIL resorts to washing clothes when I tell her that we could get them washed from the maid who washes utensils or perhaps she could wait till evening/weekend when I would be in a position to help but SHE, she washes the clothes nonetheless in front of my DH (who works from home) and in the evening when I reach home, I am greeting my aching bodies and aching tongues!!
Next time she greets you with aching body and aching tongue...tell her in presence of your husband.... "If only you had let me buy that fully automatic machine ,you wouldn't have had to tire yourself like this....next time don't listen to people who don't care about your body ma."
