It's the first day of the new school term again. A week is just too short to do all the tasks I planned for, or uhm, maybe the correct term is, thought of doing.
But one thing I was really happy about is that I made them do house chores! With the user friendly new vacuum, I divided living/ dining area into 3 sections and made them sweep and mop the floor concurrently every day, except the day when the part time cleaner was here. It was awesome!
Then! I taught them how to use the washing machine and assigned their duty roster. Didi was to put in the dirty laundry and get it washed, korkor was to hang the washed laundry up while meimei was to fold the laundry. They should be grateful I didn't make them wash the clothes with their own hands! And yet, they complained till sunset and had the cheeks to say I had so much free time already! Of course, that followed by a lecture of how I drive them around, feed them with home cooked meals and most importantly, I am TEACHING them not to be such lazy spoilt bums when they grow up.
Well, I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate what I'm doing for them right now, but I have confidence they will when the time comes. Knowing how to do house chores and doing it got to be the most marketable feature in future when finding a life partner ahead of them. Ha! You don't believe, let's just wait and see.

You are doing a good job to train your kids with house chores. I should start doing the same for my kids too, else they are taking for granted that I am their maid :(
Well at least they still do the house chores although they complain.
