[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a home cleaner, but they do not clean our teens' rooms. When they started HS, we told them cleaning their room was their responsibility. They are going to have learn how for dorms and apartments.[/quote]

Why?  Won't they just get home cleaners like their lazy ass parents? [/quote]

Yeah I don’t get this philosophy.  I understand not choosing to hire cleaning help, but I don’t understand hiring the help just to deny it to some of the people in the household.

I didn’t do much cleaning as a kid - trust me, it’s easy to learn when you are living in a dorm and later your first apartment.  It’s not rocket science or a complicated life skill.  [/quote]

The mechanics of cleaning are not difficult to learn. But the concept of being responsible for your own messes—literal and metaphorical—is good to instill early on.[/quote]

But a cleaning lady isn’t cleaning your daily messes.  She’s doing things like dusting, vacuuming, cleaning the bathrooms.  That’s why the parents hired her.  You can still have a child clear the table, load the dishwasher, make his bed each day and benefit from a weekly cleaning service too.[/quote]

The cleaning lady comes to clean the house not to organize their mess.

My boys have to keep their room tidy and clean up after their own mess around the house, specially in the summer when they have plenty time to do it.
