As I speak at women's conferences and marriage retreats, it seems that one of the biggest problems that many women have is that they feel taken for granted. They do absolutely everything at home, and he barely picks up a mop.

So what should he do? That's a tough question, and one that doesn't have a ready answer. I think it varies depending on each family's situation. But in this podcast I try to put it into some perspective, and help us all figure it out!

And if you want a great resource to go along with it, here are some free household organization charts you can use, including a chart to help decide who does what!

As a parent, it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day stresses. You just want the house clean, the kids to behave, and maybe some peace and quiet. And you'll do what you need to to accomplish that.

But that's not always the best thing for our kids. As a parent, we need to remember that the goal is to raise independent, godly, responsible children--not to just make them act right on the outside. It's the inside that counts.

Today's podcast relates a story of a mom who kept that in mind--and encourages us to do the same thing!
