House Chores Assignments Kids Version

April 20, 2022

Back when we we're kids, me and my two sisters had each assignments when it comes to maintaining cleanliness in the house guided by our mother. Papz works during daytime at the city while Mum works as a cabinet maker before switching to having our own eatery and mini grocery store.

After school, since no one's at the house aside of us three we didn't slack off, oh I mostly slack off but my sisters didn't for they get scolded the most lol!. Since Mum already assigned us to our designated areas in the house so after we take off our uniforms and change where we get to work in cleaning.

Now with the kids at home and our parents, they also had their share of the cleaning and other tasks at home just like us before. Mum who handles and teach them patiently had all the credits. She's just too incredible. While Papz on the other hand gives me headache for he just don't like to sit still and want to work for he'll definitely die early if he stay idly at home, Mum let him but I just want him to enjoy the comfort we are giving him for he'd done more than enough in taking care of us, aigooooo.

The married sister who have three daughters now said this yesterday that the young ladies already had the hold of doing each house chores and she's beyond proud for it's the benefit of having most daughters while me on the other side who had a son didn't even flinch for my son loves his assignment at home lol!

Kids House Chores Assignments.

Okay so at home we had four kids, Angel(9), Amber(6), Timothy(5), and baby Alex(10months old). Minus the baby so these three had each share in cleaning or even doing house chores but not the heavy one, only those they can do.

Angel

Do the cleaning of the table after meals, assisting Mum in putting the laundry and hanging them after. Also take turns with Mum in tending to her little sister Alex. Module time, aside from Mum who checks their work she's also in charge on keeping the things they use and make sure it'll be intact after their module time.

Amber

Assigned to sweep off the floor from all corners of the house, in charge on feeding the chicken in the backyard.Refilling the water jug and put it on the refrigerator. She's also in charge in keeping the shoe rack organized. Takes turns and help Mum fold the laundry.

Timothy

Assigned in watering Mum's flower garden and also the vegetables. In charge of arranging the chairs before and after meal. Also carrying water gallons(the small ones) after refilling it from the faucet and put it under the pantry for easier access when cooking. Also in charge in tapping the doormat to take off sands and dirt.

All three of them

Help each other in fixing the bed they slept on. Take turns in making baby Alex laugh and giggle. In short they are Alex's happy pills as much as she is to us.

Forbidden

As much as they we're assigned with some assignments they we're also forbidden on some things indoor/outdoor.

Not carrying or using scissors, knives and sticks without the elder's attention watch.
No unnecessary business while doing modules.
Carrying heavy materials and move around.
The most important one is not to go sneak in the rooms especially mine.

But when the three of us, my sisters, are around we are the one's doing those since we only gave them assignments to lessen the loads of their grandparents since we're all working. We always gave them exemption during our day off.

To some parents, these practice might be exaggerating but we we're only teaching them the basics and in order for them to help our parents since we are no around during weekdays.

Not to brag but we we're praised but the credits goes to my parents, when we attended a wedding and all of the family members are present. At the reception,some of the guests praised the kids for praying before eating, being neat and even put the plates they used in the dish rack and then put their chairs back in place before going out and sit with us in the balcony.

Since they are used to doing those at home where they had applied it outside. The children learns the basics from home and they eventually adapt it in their system even with other people .

This came to my mind after my talk with Mum as she was saying that Angel, the eldest, wanted to learn crochet and Mum is teaching her. We also talked about how my son wants to carry the bigger pale saying he already had muscles like Papz have, aigooooo. I realized that Mum is still applying her system in teaching the kids not just the modules but the basics when it comes to keeping the house clean and organized.

Thank you for reading,
Be blessed and be a blessing!
