When you were young, did you have family chores? What were they? Which was your least favorite?
I don't remember specific chores, but we did have to help clean the house. I remember HATING it and well I still hate cleaning to this day. If we wanted something or wanted to go somewhere we needed to clean. I unfortunately have followed in my mother's footsteps. If my boys would like to go somewhere and their toys are all over the place I make them clean before we go. Oh how they hate it!
DISHES. I even had to do them on my 8th birthday party. All the guests were filing it, but since it was my day to do them, I had to scrub scrub scrub while all my little friends sat on the couch and waited. HATE chores!! :)
ReplyDeleteWe always had to keep our room clean, dishes, dusting, bathrooms, garbage, yard work, lots of stuff. And I am glad we had to because I at least know how to clean, etc. even if I am not a fan! I made my kids do it to and they know how to take are of themselves.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, making your kids tidy up after themselves is very important - you are being a good mom! You do them no favors by doing everything for them!
I had to beat the rugs on the clothesline to get the dust out.
ReplyDeleteI HATED cleaning the kitty litter box, which is why we don't own any cats now! Also, didn't like doing the dishes, folding the laundry, dusting, vacuuming,...um, i thinks that's it, but with 5 kids in the house it went by fast...
ReplyDeleteYou think this would of helped train me to live on my own, but our house looks like a train wreck all week long, until the weekend, we pick one day and clean, and then repeat the process.
