This is a pretty silly mindset. I cook every day. I like to use high quality tools for my cooking. That includes high quality kitchen knives. Those shouldn't be dishwashered. It ruins the handles and dulls the blade.
Same with my nice cast iron pans. And wooden cutting boards.
I also have several very large pots/bowls/etc that are just too large to fit in the dishwasher.
The dishwasher is an extremely useful tool, but it's pretty ridiculous to limit what kitchen tools you're willing to use simply because they aren't compatible with another kitchen tool.
Folding is the worst.
At least with my laundry when I take an article of clothing out of the basket to fold you can tell the volume in the basket is reducing. Each item is large enough that the difference is notable.
But when I take a piece of kids' clothing out, it's not noticeably less in the basket. It just feels like an endless amount of clothes.
