Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I’ve always lived with all three, even as a kid, so it would be unusual to me - but not weird.
We hand wash large items, but glasses, cups, plates, bowls and silverware go in the dishwasher, we run it every 5-7 days or so. We had to force ourselves to not rinse all the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, as that can use more total water than hand washing. Lots of people waste water using a dishwasher because older models didn’t used to clean stuck on stuff very well.
We’d rather line dry laundry, but we’ve never lived in a neighborhood that would allow a clothes line. I haven’t seen one in decades, even though DW and I both grew up with Mom’s who had/used clotheslines and dryers. [Trivia: My Mom even had an electric mangle iron to iron sheets]
I could live without a disposal, but it would make for a messy kitchen trash can. Never tried to go without, and they are cheap and reliable IME. They do take up a lot of space under sinks though.
