When you have kids, the dishwasher is run daily as a rule. It fills
up quickly. However, you might have noticed that there are not very
many posters in rfc who have children living in the house. Going by
the 80/20 rule, 80% of RFC posters either have no children or grown
children who don't live at home, therefore the dishwasher is run every
other day at the most (unless there's a party or guests of some sort,
of course).
