I know you hate it when I make you do chores. You probably wonder why I torture you like this.
It does help me out when you do chores but it is it is actually very difficult for me to leave some housework undone for you and your sister. You know I like to clean....SO WHY DO I DO IT?
1. It teaches you responsibility: One day you will have a household of your own and if you grew up never helping do chores WHAT A SHOCKER it would be for you when you house didn't just stay magically clean all the time like yours did growing up when you mom did the housework during the day while you were at school.
2. Your wife will thank me one day: I know your dad doesn't have time to help around the house a lot but I would have been a little annoyed if he did not know how to clean up, do the wash, or cook a decent meal.
3. Independence: I kind of like taking care of you but I want you to go off to college knowing how to do your own wash, clean your own bathroom, and cook your own meals.
So next time you want to grumble and complain realize it is helping you AND you are just doing 1 of maybe 20+ chores I had to do that day.
Love you,
Allyson
