Having survived grad school and then some without a dishwasher, I will never look at loading/unloading the dishwasher as a chore; it is a privilege to do so (and is always followed by a heartfelt Thank You to that most selfless of appliances).
I grew up poor. My chore was dishes, for a family of 5. I was also diagnosed with ADHD but not properly managed. And often I was punished with "wash every dish in the house".
All that to say I spent a lot of time in the kitchen either hating washing dishes or procrastinating doing the dishes and hating my life because I couldn't go do something else.
Then in class one day our teacher asked the class what everyone's least favorite chore was, and one girl in the class said she hated unloading the dishwasher. The absolute gall.
I look at it as a chore- to make my daughter do since we need to give her chores. And she doesn't like to do it, so it's a chore for her.
Don't worry, there is still time. My sister hated loading the dishwasher, always dating girls and whatnot. But then in college she came to appreciate the dishwasher and now she is married with a kid!
My daughter may very well get married, but I doubt a kid will be in the picture without artificial insemination or adoption. We shall see what her opinion of dishwashers is by the time she’s out of college.
Hell I still do them by hand... Almost 40 years old and I live in a garage without a clothes dryer or a dishwasher and my fridge/freezer is essentially "babies first refrigerator" size. I can't even fit a regular tub of ice cream in my freezer lol
