cleaning

[proudmummywife]

What is best way to keep on top of housework with full time job husband and three children?

Make the husband and the three children pull their (age appropriate) weight?

Children are 7,3,1 husband is so busy with over time an fixing our new house I wouldn't expect him to help as he has hands full as it is although he not great cleaner his idea and mine are completly different lol I think I've him spoilt tho lol

7 and 3 is old enough to help

My seven year old does the following

clears away breakfast things and loads dishwasher
wipes table
unloads dishwasher
takes out the rubbish and recycling
hoovers
puts in a load of washing
pegs out washing
folds washing and puts into piles to be put away (and puts away his own)
brings in kindling for the fire and builds the fire ready for lighting.
tidies his room
polishes the coffee table and piano.

So your seven year old could definitely help .

Give each day a task, Monday clean bathroom, Tuesday dust, Wednesday Hoover ect.

I do it all at once but feel on my days off I'm never done told dh when we move in he needs pull his weight give him Hoover task and washing as he says Wat take me 20 mins tidy takes him hours an never looks same as when I do it (it doesn't) my 7 year old I need start getting him help
