Hi,
I can relate Granted, you've got more on your plate right now than I do.
My kids are 2, 7 and 9. Here's a few things that I do to keep the house running and the kids taken care of.
- I know this is cheesy, but I subscribe to Flylady.net It has honestly maade a huge difference in my life. I now look at housework differently.
- We do not do chores on Saturday and Sunday. This is free time. We have fun and i've learned not to care about dishes for 2 days.
- Everybody helps! Even the 2 year old. In my house the 7 and 9 year old draw from a hat. I put an equal amount of chores on little pieces of paper into the hat and whatever you draw, you do. We do this everyday Mon. - Fri.
- I just started this one : since we don't do chores on the weekend, we take Monday morning and tackle the downstairs together. With everyone cleaning each room together. Gets it done in no time!
I hope you can take some of these and make them your own. Good luck.
Kristy
