Since
every Saturday is cleaning day, I thought I'd use this moment to teach my kids
housework.
On
our first cleaning day, Sebastian started with good1.
He took a cloth to the kitchen but soon got2by our biggest knife. I
got to stop him before he3himself. Sebastian is only seven.
Tashi,
who's sixteen, came out of her bedroom at noon. I told Tashi sweeping was her4.
"Fine," she said, and she went to the bathroom. Forty minutes passed
before she finished a really5area.
How
can my kids be so6 at cleaning?
Of
course, I knew. For sixteen years, Tashi's father has been 7for
her. Sixteen years! Every morning, I pick up Sebastian's towel because it's
just 8than asking him to do it.
The
thing is, I don't remember learning much about cleaning from my9.
My parents were hands-off. My mom was always there,10 after school I made my own snack. I got no11with
homework. If I wanted a new tennis racket(球拍), I had to12cars
in the neighborhood.
Maybe
kids learn to clean not from learning13to clean, but by having
the freedom to learn how to do things 14their
own.
Now,
I ask the kids to do some15by themselves because I think they would
somehow16how to do simple things. I can't say the
kids do their chores17or well. But they are in charge of their
own dirty laundry.
Then
yesterday, I got a small18. After I went grocery shopping, I told
the kids to unload the car, then I went to the bathroom. When I came out, I
heard Tashi19at Sebastian: Help me put the things
away. You can't20 Mom to do everything. "
