Well my day so far has me surrounded by a huge pile of clean laundry on my couch….serioulsy I mean HUGE! There is currently mac and cheese on the living room carpet and I am sitting here typing and have Teen Mom OG on so I can catch up. Is this what I want to be doing? I mean, I like relaxing but can you seriously relax with a bunch of chores that need to be done staring at you in the face? I know I can’t or
at least feel really guilty if i do. I am a mother of 3 kids and 1 on the way. I want my kids to be kids but I also need them to help pick up after themselves so I can move on from constantly clean the kitchen and living room over and over again. I am constantly asking myself…
Am I the only mom out there that can’t keep my house clean!?
Are my kids running my house?
Should I be parenting differently?
Am i good mom?
How can i get my life in order and keep it that way?
All of these questions are pretty standard or at least that’s how I feel about it. I am going to be spending the next few weeks really trying to get motivated in cleaning and maintaining my home and I want my kiddies to be excited to help mommy and not upset that I asked them. I refuse to feel like a bad mom for giving my kids chores and I won’t apologize for it. Lets as moms expect help from our kids because in the long run it will help them in life. I am excited not to just have a clean house i can manage but to teach my kids responsibility and to be a family unit!
Wish me luck!!
