No you don't. If you have to, there's something wrong with the
dishwasher.

I have a small kitchen so there isn't enough room to cook and wash
dishes at the same time. But if I had a huge kitchen, I'd have 3
dishwashers! My kitchen didn't have a dishwasher when I moved in; I
bought one within a month!
