[quote=Anonymous]Just accept that your house is probably going to be messy unless you out your kids in charge of certain chores. They should be making their own lunches. The older one can do his/her own laundry and you can start teaching the younger one how. They should already be keeping their rooms clean. They can help strip the sheets off the beds. Make Crock Pot dinners twice a week which might leave you leftover for 2 other days. Make breakfast for dinner once a week. I am a single mom and I've taught my DS how to do nearly everything. We are working on cooking now (I hate cooking so I've dragged my feet on teaching him that). He does his own laundry (and has since age 9), empties the dishwasher, strips his bed and makes it (not very well), takes out the trash and recycling, makes his own lunch (he started in 2nd/3rd grade). He can clean bathrooms pretty well now too as well as his own room. He is 13. Stop running around and teach your kids to do it.[/quote]
