Was this a Rule in your House Too?

Hi, thanks for your visit today. 

Dona Anderson 

Is Bed making a daily Challenge in your life?

this video went viral

It starts with our needing to make the bed

when we get up.

One task completed.




 

Check out the comments for this video.

Growing up we made our bed every morning before breakfast and our walk to school.  No it wasn't the 2 miles up hill in a snow storm kind of walk but we did live on the Prairies and the winter was very cold and windy.

There was no not doing it - one task completed.

We had to come home for lunch (only bused kids could stay at school) and after lunch we had to do the dishes before we left to go back to school. Lunch was the big meal of the day so plates, pots, whatever it was, another task completed. 

We only had human dishwashers and dryers then.

Then later helping with supper and more dishes, another task completed.

Not fair, I was the youngest and later I was the only one left to help Mom.

We never thought about the dishes, ironing, shopping, house work etc. as tasks completed it was just all part of the normal household activities before we could get back to school, start our homework, go play or whatever it was that day/time of year. 

It's funny now looking back how different it was for our kids and us off working and packing the daily lunch or leaving one behind for who's at home. 

It's different now with school meals, commuting and what it is where you live but I think the idea of having age related jobs and helping with making the tasks completed sets a good example for us even from a young age.  

Have a great day and week ahead.


PS
. Yes I still do make the bed everyday.

But sometimes one of our dogs goes for a nap and messes it up.

  1. What are your daily/weekly/yearly tasks & how do you approach them. We all have some like getting the groceries, house work, laundry, meals yard and then there are the ones at work. It can get overwhelming at times. I hope in all this there are ones you enjoy - don't feel it's work, ones you enjoy, that are fun and rewarding. I didn't get the love cleaning the house gene, my sister did but the weekly task goes on.
