My house looks like a tornado came through. I have been hurting the past few days, so I haven't felt like doing much. That translates into the kids and Junior making messes, and leaving them for me to clean up. I do the dishes in the morning, and no one can do them during the day as they use them. So they pile up, until I do them the next morning. It gets very frustrating.
Today I had enough, and had Ryan do all the dishes, and Kasi did all the laundry. They swept and vacuumed. They actually tried, but my house is still a mess.
I guess no one cleans like a mom.
It is not so much no one cleans like a mom, as much as it never gets done they way I like it unless I do it myself. Even though, I am the one who supposedly trained them. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI am very afraid of what my house will look like after these first three weeks of my recuperation. They are trying, but its just not like I do it.
I agree with Vixen, my 9 yr old wants to do the vaccuming for me.
ReplyDeleteBut what if she doesn't get it done right then it's not clean and we have ivory carpet ~ WHY the sellers put that color in here in the country before we bought it is beyond me.
Anyways, I do it myself. And if I give her my vacuuming, and she likes to wash the dishes I almost feel like there isn't anything here for me to do & feel guilty, ya know? If I worked outside the home then maybe I'd make them do more, I don't know I just can't hardly "justify" them doing it while I sit & do nothing.
