Picture this.
You come home to dishes piled on the counter, your child’s clothes hamper overflowing with dirty clothes and the dog staring at you. telepathically trying to tell you she’s hungry.
No one else in your family seems to see it.
Your kids happily walk in after school, throw their stuff on the floor and think that the magical cleaning fairy somehow cleans it up.
Why can’t anyone in your family take the initiative to clean up but you?
I get that. I’ve felt that.
It’s not like you haven’t tried either. You’ve tried the pretty chore charts. You even offered to pay them!
But, nothing’s worked.
You may have been making the same mistake I was…
I read every one of your posts so other things I’d love to read more about (if you want to know):
1. not comparing the milestones of my developmentally delayed child to other children and being happy and content with what our life looks like.
2. I need ideas of easy crock pot meals. I know there are tons of pinterest ideas but I need some that people have tried and love.
3. How to provide things for my 4 year old to do BY HERSELF that doesn’t require ,my constant supervision (anything with markers is out!)
4. Tips for keeping my house clean, small daily ideas or ways to clean efficiently so I don’t feel like I’m constantly cleaning. My life now: cleaning our house is like brushing your teeth while eating oreos)
5. Ideas for quick make up that looks great. I mean like 5 minutes.
6. Date night ideas that are cheap!! PLEASE! Now that we have a respite sitter, my hubby and I can actually go out but we are broke 🙂
Jo- thanks for your dedication to this blog. I know you do it for you because you love it but so do many other people!
Love these ideas Leah! I can help with 2-6. However, I think I need you to guest post #1 if you are willing 🙂
