Lets face it, housework and chores are a pain in the ass, but we have to do. Otherwise we’d all be on that show “Hoarders”. I hate doing it and I really shouldn’t since I am a stay-at-home-mom. But cleaning, vacuuming, sweeping, dusting, laundry is just the absolute worst.
This may or may not be considered child labor but my toddler loves doing chores. I don’t know if its because she thinks its a game or the fact she usually gets a special treat after helping but lately I have been letting her help me with all my daily and weekly chores. Its pretty awesome. She even offers with “Mommy, Help! Mommy, Help!” Hell yeah I needs help – Mommy’s got no shame!
I probably am jinxing myself but its pretty damn awesome when your 2 year old wants to:
Do your laundry
into the dryer they go!
Sweep your floors
morning sweep
Dust
dust dust dust
Move Furniture
heavy lifting
Take out the trash
garbage lady
Again, I have no shame and will take full advantage of this until she realizes that it suuuuuuucks.
If only she does toilets….
