To Love, Honor and Vacuum
For all those women who sometimes feel more like maids than wives and mothers!
Teaching Kids to Do Chores
Download this episode (6 min)
I don't mind doing laundry, but I hate mopping the floor. I'm not big on dishes, either. Or cleaning toilets.
Luckily, I have children. And they are perfect for such tasks!
In this podcast, I talk about the necessity of teaching kids to do chores. Not just because it gives us a break, but also because kids need to be taught to be independent.
Listen in as we talk about the philosophy behind chores--and why teaching them to do chores will actually boost their self-esteem (and their chances of marriage)! It will also help those marriages to be far more successful.
It's only 5 minutes long, but it can motivate you to make necessary changes in your parenting! And then maybe you won't have to do all the mopping after all.

I have two teenage sons who have learned to clean bathrooms, do their own laundry, and other household chores such as dishes and vacuuming. We share responsibilities as a family, and they know we're all expected to pull our weight. I'm hoping for big hugs from my daughters-in-law someday!
