That would be nice in theory, but can you imagine your kids doing that after every meal? How about dinner guests? And all the cooking utensils?

Having lived with a lot of roommates in the past, I can say for a fact that very few people clean up after themselves completely. Maybe I can add that to my “pet peeve” list. ;)[/quote]

That’s the extended adolescence that Americans live in permenanty now.

It was the norm up until about the 70s. Kind of like taking the bus to school or walking or riding your bike to school.
