Princess Needs To Clean Up Too
Yes..! as much as we love our brat, she has to clean up too and we never say no if she wanted to sweep, dust or wash up after she is done messing up. What about you ..?? are you the do it all for them mom..?? or are you the try to cultivate good habits in your child. My mom was the type of mom who does everything for the boys - afterall, they are the ones carrying the family name to their grave right..?? hahahhaha!!! and what did my brothers become..?? well, lets just say .. one had a hard time getting a g/f - he learned it the hard way that his g/f ain’t his mom. So while we are using our own ellipticals, the princess of mind needed to clean after herself .. for drawing on the glass cabinets. Like a wise old woman used to tell me, teach them young and they will grow up right.
Good gal.

My policy is best to equip the children with life skills - be it cleaning, cooking, tidying up, set the table, clean up after dinner - all important things. They must be able to look after themselves when I am no longer around. Doesn’t mean my two girls do it all the time on their own without me nagging in the background

I’m trying to teach my girls to clean up after themselves. There are good days and bad days. The older one gets a little frustrated when she’s doing all the work and the baby is making all the mess.

Wow, prettily “maid” up too.
Everything starts at home, they say…
