Glasses & Plates??

I am cleaning up/out the kitchen and I am in a qundry <probably misspelled that one~Oh well>
I have a whole bunch of glasses and dishes in the cabinet......
Just how many of these do you think a family of 4 needs??? :D
Now I'm really asking this.....I grew up in a home that had lots of cabinet space and lots of dishes! So that info is of no assistance to me.
I do have separate china in a buffet~so those don't count.
mgf~ :high5:

It's probably just me, but I prefer to only have up to 2 sets of dishes per family member in the cabinets, and keep a bigger set in the china hutch for special occasions and guests. (By "set" I mean a plate, a glass, fork-spoon-knife, etc... up to 2 per person) Limiting the number of dishes that are available for use helps keep kitchen clutter down in my house. Especially since I have 2 "automatic" dishwashers I can run at the same time: the left hand, and the right hand If I had a whole cabinet stacked with lots of dishes, I'd probly feel like I'd never get the kitchen work done, washing so many dishes all the time.
