Punky wrote:Hey Dustykitten - great idea, I do this too. Hope DS won't turn into a clean freak! I've already got him mopping the kitchen floor which he loves and he's only 3!!
Don't worry all good habits go out of the window as they get older but my eldest does enjoy cutting the grass now. Took a group for cooking in school today and it was interesting that the 2 girls were keen to wash up, wipe the table etc and the boys did everything in their power to avoid helping at this stage - not being sexist just interesting (one of the boys was mine!). My DS3 who is 4 loves mopping too - the wetter the better as far as he is concerned. Night DKThe birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -

foreverskint - love your idea re the ironing! tried it yesterday and I think it really does make a difference. Yesterdays wash was tea towels (which I don't iron!) so hopefully I can catch up even more today.
Very proud of myself as this morning I took a load of laundry down with me when I got up and put it on straight away. It had finished before it was time to take the girls to school and I managed to hang it out too! Now if only I'd done my bedtime routine and sorted out the kitchen I would be way ahead of myself.
Going off in search of discounted school uniform in Sainsburys today.weaving through the chaos...0 -
