Even though I am the matriarch of my household there are times when I just can't do it all. I work full time, parent full time, attend school full time, and live life full time. I am a very organized person and just seeing one thing out of place, unbuttoned, unevenly folded, or not closed all the way will through me into an abyss of insanity.
Taking three summer classes and maintaining good grades is putting a strain on my household chores. (My bedroom is so cluttered I can hardly take it anymore) But, I don't plan on lifting a finger until June 22nd. Well my oldest daughter decided to wash my clothes, my middle daughter swept and mopped and my son keeps the sink clear of dishes. Mind you none of these are their regular chores.
Do you know how many times we have had conversations about "initiative"? My oh My! Teamwork will make a dream work.
I really loved this post! I believe teamwork is a strong and powerful message and something that should be learned from an early age. Teamwork is not only for the workplace but really thrives in your personal life. It will help take the pressure off just one person and helps accomplish things faster if everyone pitches in and completes a task. I do not have kids but my wife and I work as a team and have since we have been together. We know what to expect out of each other and makes for a much happier home, and one person is not expected to do it all. Great post and teamwork and initiative will help build character and serve all who get it well.
ReplyDeleteI like these posts about teamwork and respect and how to love your teen. It shows that you have respect from your children but can also have fun and enjoy your time with them.
