It has been five years now without a dishwasher. Though I want one when I re-do my kitchen, it isn't a big deal not to have one.

The clothes washer, and dryer, now THAT would be hard for me. I went from washing clothes once every 10 days or so (pre-Jonah) to washing 10 loads every other day it seems!

The one benefit to a laundry mat- ALL your clothes are washed at the same time because of the multiple machines. I would get a second washer and dryer if I had more family members.
