I watched about 20 episodes and got thoroughly disgusted. You cannot imagine how bad some people's houses are. It also made me vow to myself that I would NEVER let my house get like that. So, since I've watched the shows I have been cleaning and scrubbing almost nonstop. In fact, Kaydee actually called me a clean freak today which, for those of you who really know me is the LAST nickname I would ever have!! LOL!!
The only drawback is cleaning constantly with 5 kids and a hubby who's still set in his slobby ways, which I shared with him until this week, has made me a tad cranky and nagging. Not only am I constantly cleaning, but constantly reminding everyone else to clean up after themselves too, which is making them also cranky . Hopefully I can figure out how to ask a little nicer and pretty soon they'll get the hang of better habits so there won't be so much nagging.
I don't know how you go about chores with your ids but i was really impressed with this lady in my ward who has 5 kids and she says that because of her kids chores the only thing she has to do is mop the floor. So I decided to start adding more responsabilitys to my kids to help take the burden off my shoulders. My kids are still real young to do everything but what they do do helps a lot.
ReplyDeleteI think it's funny that they are calling you a clean freak! LOL =) That's good though that they are seeing your example and will in time follow it! =) My kids help out with chores and it really helps teach them responsibility and takes a burden off my shoulders. Keep up the good work!
