Seeing the long list of things I have to do, I ask for help from my kids. They can help tidy up around the house. I usually ask the kids for support. They can do some small chores to help me out. They know how to wash the dishes. They can sweep and vacuum. Some days they cooperate. Other days they need a few bribes to do what they need to get done.
I want to teach them the value of helping others out and that it is crucial to take care of where they live. They need to know they have to earn everything they get. I want to teach them they need to support their family and take care of one another. I also want to teach them valuable life skills.
Having our house in order is also important. Everything runs smoother when the house is in order. They are good helpers. Hopefully they will take away several other lessons when they help me out. I hope they gain experience in working with others and helping others. I hope they want to help others and not be selfish. It is a trait of successful people to serve others.
