We cook from scratch every day, which automatically uses more stuff
but we only run the dishwasher every couple of days

that is irrelevant though, because it costs less to run the dishwasher we could use it everyday.

There are no arguments you can make that would persuade me that doing it by hand is better in even one small way.

I can understand the use of dishwashers for commercial use etc.
I just think they're a bit over the top for home.

If we didn't have one nothing would get washed up ever.
Arguing over whose turn it is to do the dishes is the biggest cause of arguments in shared accommodation BADGERFAX

I can't understand why people have such a problem with them
they:
save you time
save you money
are more hygenic
keep your kitchen free of clutter

what's not to like?

Maybe I just don't hate washing up as much as you do.

I don't think anyone does
even I'm unsure why, it's a bit irrational. Fortunately there is an easy solution to it. But mine is currently broken.
