Did you grow up with dedicated parve pots for parve foods (like noodles, rice, soup, or anything) or did you just use pots that were officially milchig or fleishig for those items?
I grew up with it, dh didn't, and we're debating which is more common.
Growing up it worked nicely but in my house we often have issues where the pot gets splashed on milchigs/fleishigs. Not a problem but just a headache.
This could have something to do with the fact that we had a bigger kitchen with 2 stoves growing up and I have a tiny kitchen with 1 stove now.

Yes and we do that now as well. Not sure what issue could come from having dedicated pareve pots.

I use pareve pots/knives all the time. It helps that I have a pareve sink.

Answered the poll, but the question in the op is slightly different.
We did have pareve pots but not really used for noodles and rice specifically.
Rather, if my mother was making a soup for the week or to freeze, she'd use a pareve pot, as she alternated between meat and dairy suppers and wanted to be able to use the soup whenever.
Or, when sauteing vegetables, onions, making a sauce that wasn't specifically dairy or meat, she'd use a pareve pot.
In short, if the item being cooked wasn't used up right away, or would later need to be reheated in the (pareve) oven, the pareve pots were used.

Yes we do. They get washed separately. We don't cook in them where something hot milchig or fleishig could shpritz into them. Why is that a problem?

I’ve always had pareve knives and utensils but recently got a pareve pasta pot and it’s a game changer. For example, Half the noodles could be used for meatballs while the other microwaved with cheese for my picky eater.

I have pots or utensils that start off pareve, but at some point they always accidentally become milchig or fleishig.

Yes, for eggs, baking (double boiler) and some soups. I have a dedicated pareve counter, a small pareve sink. and a psak to use my milchik dishwasher for both dairy and pareve (not in the same load). Almost all veggie prep, salads, and baking are pareve.

My mother always did and I did when I was single as well.
My MIL never did and neither did DH's first wife so DH and the kids had no concept of keeping anything pareve. My pareve stuff became Fleishig very quickly after we got married. So currently no pareve pots or knives.

I grew up with pareve pots and when I got married I bought a whole set of pareve pots because I didn't know how else to use a kitchen. I hardly cook milchigs so I got two milchig pots with a frying pan, a whole set of five pots for pareve, and a whole set of six pots for fleishig.

What do you mean "did"? I never stopped. And I use them as much as my fleishik ones and more than my milchik ones. Even when cooking for a fleishik or milchik meal I prepare as much as possible in pareve. Why would I cut up onions, say, with a fleishik or milchik knife, when I can slice them with a pareve knife on a pareve cutting board, caramelize in a pareve skillet, and then add them to any dish I like, not to mention take a little off as a snack regardless of what I ate an hour before?
But to answer your question, my mother had a pareve knife, cutting board, and baking utensils, but no pareve cookware aside from a teakettle and a dedicated enamel pot for boiling eggs.

My BFF's problem is that pareve utensils never stay pareve in her house. Inevitably, someone fleishiks or milchiks them up, and I guess either they're all not kasherable or she doesn't know how or is unwilling to kasher.
In my own experience, having pareve utensils makes kosher life much easier and "safer," except for the issue of taking up precious cabinet space.

My experience is similar.
We probably use our pareve pots and utensils more than anything else.
If you're used to it, it's easier to maintain.
