Teach Your Kids to Work

Hard work cleaning is good for the soul.  It is also a good cure for stress, boredom and sadness.

And it teaches kids adult skills.

Mom had jobs day every Saturday.  We worked.  And we learned to clean well and actually to like it.  And to take our turn and do our share. 

That's how kids learn.  They have to be taught at home by mom and dad.  Many adults are slob children who were never instructed by their own parents how to clean and maintain a house like a grown up.
