Mothering Many

This tip is as much for me as for ya’ll. I’ve been meaning to do it, so maybe this post will get me off my can. When you assign your children a room to clean, leave them a checklist. It’s easy to overlook sweeping the kitchen when it’s late and you are tired, but if the checklist is tucked discreetly inside a cabinet door, you’ll have a little reminder. A little “employee self evaluation” before they come tell you they are done can keep you from appearing to be an ogre. I’ve heard this reminder list works for big people, too. *cough, cough*
