Cleaning Activities

It's been a pretty fun day today. It's tiring and makes the body feel weak after doing cleaning activities and cleaning the house with my children this Saturday. The four of us shared the chore at first to get the job done to do the house cleaning as agreed last night. Each has a task that must be done and must be completed of course.

It just so happens that it looks quite messy here and there and is also quite dirty in certain parts that are difficult to touch or touch every day when cleaning.

Plus a lot of dirty clothes laundry these days and a collection of unused plastic bottles. So finally agreed to work together to clean up the situation at home together.

My first child was given the task of cleaning the kitchen as well as the laundry and drying room. Plus the other chores, the part to do laundry is work. Then my only daughter got a job cleaning the entire kitchen. Plus to tidy up all the toys and also clean the bedroom. And for the youngest, it's actually still too easy and a bit of a chore. He just collects various dry garbage that is there and cleans the dusty area. However, in practice, when the youngest was working, he always moved around trying to do the tasks his older brothers were doing which irritated him and resulted in being scolded by his older brother. His behavior is busy, he wants to participate in doing things that he really can't do. And it looks funny.

The remaining parts that have not been done become part of my work. Such as cleaning all rooms in the house and rearranging the condition of items that are not in place, or repairing something that was damaged but has not been repaired to this day. It turns out that there are also many parts that need to be cleaned and worked on. 😂 Luckily we don't have a yard so no extra outdoor work. ️

There are things that can be taken for them to at least provide valuable lessons and get used to them from childhood to be responsible for the name of cleanliness. While cleaning and joking with my three children, work is actually tiring and annoying but can be felt to be happy for me with them. It's something the four of us actually do every week. But there is no meaning of boredom, instead, it is fun every time this opportunity arrives. Togetherness is often done by the four of us in doing everything. In fact, it became a strange habit for one of us to be absent when we were doing our usual work together.

Sometimes for myself, there is a fear of losing them, missing the moment when they still really need themselves as parents. Requires affection and attention and also understanding. Sometimes there is a fear of overindulging in the word love. Sometimes afraid to be too hard in educating. And sometimes afraid not to be able to give the best for them as parents.

In the midst of the commotion of the atmosphere and the conditions of the pandemic that hit. Togetherness with my little family has further attached our togetherness through the day during this pandemic. Trying to educate and always pray that the three of them will get a better life than the journey of life that has been lived by his father. Because without them knowing it, they are the ones who inspire life and entertain friends when anxiety strikes.

Tired, whacked always pays off if I remember the time travel until now. And things today may be normal and also often happen in other families. Fun and full of happiness that is hard to imagine. Simple as our life that we used to go through every day.
