I do have two little helpers (10 and 5 years old), so each of them is responsible for vacuuming, dusting, steam cleaning, loading and emptying the dishwasher. When I'm back home like today, house is clean and we have more time to spend it together |

Wow how do you get your 5 year old to do choirs? I think it's important for kids to do stuff but I cannot get my 7yr old to do anything |

"The cat does the table and the dog the floor, no need for wiping or vacuuming
So the cat and the dog ever get to job share..??!"
Nah, the cat is too slow licking the floor |

I'm a single mum and after divorce it wasn't easy to anyone but my 5 years old son is a real cutie little gent who wants to see his Mummy happy. I've never had a problem with my kids (daughter is 10 years old) to help me at home. Another thing is they will be independent teens soon
They also cook and bake simple things. I teach them. They learn and have fun at the same time. Simple!  |

Its never to be little to help. My parents also taught us how to be independent. These kind of way to raise your kids isn't bad. You know they will grow up as a responsible and independent people. |

I meant tell them that as reverse psychology if they are reluctant . My kids are all able to cook and clean - although you might find that as teenagers they won't be quite so keen |

NEVER use something you clean your floor with to clean anything higher up!
Think of what you walk in unknowingly, faeces and saliva to start, then think of using that same cleaning implement on your coffee/ dinner table 
No! Never!
Counters and tables, use a separate cloth.
Floors, use bleach or Bissel Crosswave and steamer to be sure whatever might be left is sterile.
Do I sound like Monica from Friends?
Smokey - Good parenting 
I do similar with mine and 9yr old is delighted she can make her own French toast, while 7yr old will kill to make Jamie's pesto meatball burgers |

I normally just eat from the local landfill site, it's handy because it's dirty when I get there and nobody ever notices the mess I've left. |

my little two year old helps me clean up after him he puts his shoes away and all. It's funny watching him try to sweep the floor.
I was though how to iron and cook from about the age of 7. It's a great thing to teach kids early. I know many friends who have t a clue how to cook. |

No worries.
Not sure you'd take advice from anyone, as your head is so far up your anus, you wouldn't be able to hear/see it 
I'll take the Naughty Step for this knowingly and gladly. |

WTF happened to this thread..?!
It was going swimmingly and then I turn my back for a few hours and it turns into a bloodbath..?!
Jeez, it's only about household chores guys, no need for the blood letting.
In fairness it seems to just be one poster who kicked it all off then took a swipe at a few others.
Not cool. |

Top tip put yourself under pressure to clean the house before a Fab meet in your home. You get more housework done in the hour before they arrive then you would in a week! |
