My daughter n son-in-law has a chore chart for them in which they get a sticker for doing each of their daily chores. Once their chart is filled, their parents will either give them money if they want/allow them to go to a shopping center to get them x amount of things that they want according to how much they earned. Please let ur children grow up to be independent n teach them to clean their own rooms n to help out with daily chores.

You should make a plan that'll have your kids throw away their trash.(keep mini trashcans in their room) and have them make their bed. TRUST ME YOUR LIFE WILL FEEL SO MUCH EASIER. Besides it's good for your kids to know that they can do these things themselves. And if it gets hard to have them start cleaning. Maybe put in a reward system and slowly get rid of it once everyone's doing good. I'm not trying to tell you how to raise your kids , this is just a suggestion.

Towels same thing. Then I'll deep clean pulling out fridge stove to get back behind it. Clean all blinds. And flu season coming up also and winter. It's alot of work. I have 3 children. And they also have responsibilities and rules in my home they have activities as well different sports.. And everything is so expensive for everyone. But we try our best as parent's... My kids eat healthy foods but occasionally they like certain snacks. I do worry about there teeth.. Going to the dentist but luckily there teeth are good. And of course the doctors.. So far with Covid there doing good.. thank goodness.. I understand what your going through also. It's alot of work... The days go by so fast..🌝

Hi from South Africa. Basic tidiness is a virtue. Not a chore. How sad to not inculcate that into young minds. But WOW...Mum did a superb job today! Bodi such a sweetie to come back for a hug.

[@moonlitskylight5740]

Yeah, it's different in North America. It may feel nice to have a clean house, but getting there isn't particularly fun.

Your morning view is gorgeous ❤ I love your day in a life videos 🎉 I live in Indiana about an hour from ND and I wasn’t sure if there is a specific reason you guys like ND just out of curiosity!! I personally am a Michigan fan so Go blue 😂 I do love the Irish pride in your home though!

She spent all that money on those lockers just for the kids to not put away their stuff and throw it on the floor🤦‍♀️🤔

Good morning and watching from Lima - PERU!

[@nellyriley8190]

You can get baskets that fit the bottom of the lockers to corral the shoes. That way they are held in place to close the door. You know they will not accommodate them. Will be easier for them and specially for you 👍

Keeping house is a never ending job. I'm amazed at all of what you and your husband do to provide your children a safe and secure environment. I grew up in a home with 5 brothers in a 750 square foot home. Im adopted, but I still had to do my share,, lol We all did chores but in reality my parent did a lot of behind the scenes stuff that kept our home running smoothly. My mom loved having us around and she worked hours on end homesteading. I think if each child did 1 chore each and was responsible for upkeeping their rooms, it would surely help. I made my kids clean their rooms meaning the following.... Make the bed Pick up and put clothes away in drawers or closets Put toys away at the end of the day Put all trash in proper cans or recycling. Once a week vacuum and dust their rooms if they are old enough. We began this process at age 2. I'm an extremely tidy person, but I had to let my kids learn how to be responsible and keep their rooms liveable. Other than that I do everything else. As a mom of a 21 and 17 year old if I could do anything different it would probably be teaching my kids the basics of housekeeping in a more thorough and effective way outside of just making them clean their rooms. Lol I was too much of a perfectionist to teach them and I doted on them when it came to my role as mother. It's easy to do. My love language is acts of service. But in the end, do whats best for you and what works best for your family unit. There's no right or wrong way of how much or little you express your love when you give your time and energy towards your family. ❤ you're a great mom but a little help is okay as well.

[@jennyroberts9233]

Alicia, I really thank you and your husband for reaching out to help the kids. Just a thought, a contest for the kids. Clean Room award!!!! Every Day chart with sticker. You acknowledge any way you want!!! Make it fun! Another suggestion you say you have to do laundry out because of septic tank issue, perhaps the water used in washing dishes could be limited. You are loved!

[@patdfobrox]

Could you do a series having each kid cook a dinner or weekend lunch for the family? I think it would be so much fun.

[@coreybarnhart635]

I love to watch this, you amaze me. I have a hard time keeping up with 1 toddler. I feel like housework never ends. You do it all in love as well. So kind

[@flawedfabulous]

I'm sure you're doing amazing, we gotta be kind to ourselves. I've raised 5 kids and some days I don't remember if I ate, but we manage to do our best . You've got this..

When is this woman going to get connected to the public water and septic? Lugging all that laundry out and no dishwasher, I'd go crazy lol. What's the hang up?

[@janniedison2244]

where did u order those lockers from? my friend needs those at her back door. she has 9 kids.

[@Stepharoni_and_Clean]

Just a tip but if you let the water hit your rag less than you won't have to keep adding soap or just make a sink full of soapy water. I myself don't do that though I just make my sponge super sudsy and don't let the water touch it til I'm done completely

[@beth1627]

You can make a game out having them cleaning up their room and make their beds. Start with one room and have the kids pick up their messes and make their bed. Go from room to room and have the kids do it. Until they understand what to do. You may have to show the little kids how to do it more. Then have them do it every morning, even if it's a quick neatening of their bed and room, doing more weekends. It's good to have children take pride in their space and for the future.

[@shellypasqualetto2742]

most of those kids are old enough to pick up their own room and for sure bring their lunch boxes into the kitchen that's things they can pick up after themselves and you shouldn't have to do that maybe the little ones but not the older ones

[@dyeytvofficial]

That feeling when you just finished cleaning and here they come again. Lol

[@truebluelozz]

@@dyeytvofficial it is a spam. ALICIA is not sending it

[@jaems1135]

i really hope the kids know how to clean up after themselves bcus it would be hard for everyone when they move out to college and live with a roommate

[@moonlitskylight5740]

Part of the same generation so odds are the parents may have done similar things.

[@alicethompson3618]

Even though you think you are doing your kids a favour if you always do their chores then how will they adapt when they are older?

[@tanyaboland1838]

How are dogs and chickens? Do you cuddle with dogs and pay attention to them when you get home and maybe have a few minutes??

[@jjs7721]

Do they have different bins for recycling and waste in the States? Here in the U.K., we’re encouraged to separate waste by recycling, food waste, green waste and general waste.

[@fuqnazitube5941]

Most cities do… but every county has recycling centers that can be used if the waste management doesn’t pick up the recycling

[@camibajek2286]

I do the exact same thing with my kiddos. They clean perfectly for their ages. I go behind them and finish the job. My hands aren’t as full as yours, and you’re perfection. Sending Happy Sunday vibes from my house to yours. Love to all. ❤
