Dear family members, it’s time to lend your attention! We may not express it often, but your actions can significantly contribute to our happiness. While it might seem like we have high expectations, the truth is that meeting our needs is simpler than you think. We don’t enjoy losing our tempers; we simply wish for a peaceful and joyful atmosphere at home. So, here are ten ways you can help us keep our cool:
-
Dishes to the Sink
Just place your dishes in the sink. Seriously, I’m not even asking for you to load the dishwasher! It’s baffling how a few extra inches can be such a challenge. Just make sure your cups, plates, and bowls don’t end up on the floor or the counter. Bonus points if you rinse them out! -
Laundry in the Hamper
If you expect clean clothes, then dirty ones need to go in the hamper. No more hunting for lost socks or guessing if that shirt is clean or not. It’s really not difficult—just toss them in the designated spot. -
Mind Your Hygiene
Please ensure you wipe properly after using the bathroom. Finding unpleasant surprises in the laundry is not a fun experience for anyone. Let’s keep things tidy, shall we? -
Use the Garbage Disposal
It’s as simple as flicking a switch. If you notice unpleasant odors in the house, it might be time to take care of that disposal. Don’t leave me to do it—help out! -
Flush the Toilet
When it comes to using the restroom, please remember to flush. While I appreciate your diligence with the toilet after urinating, leaving the bowl unflushed after a bowel movement is not something I enjoy. -
Trash in the Bin
Every bit of trash, big or small, should go into the trash can. It doesn’t matter if it’s just a candy wrapper—dispose of it properly. I’d prefer not to find it stuck between the couch cushions later on. -
Follow Through on Promises
If you tell me you’ll take out the trash, do it. If you’re unsure, don’t commit to it, but if you do say you’ll handle it, please keep your word. It goes a long way in keeping our environment harmonious. -
Pay Attention
When I take the time to explain our weekly plans, please listen. If you ask me about our schedule shortly after I shared it, it might send me over the edge! -
Return Borrowed Items
Feel free to borrow my things, but return them to their rightful place. I don’t want to be late because you forgot where you put my keys or other essentials. -
Express Your Love
A simple “I love you” can work wonders. It may seem trivial, but it reminds us that we’re appreciated, especially when we’re cleaning up messes—like dried yogurt stuck in a bowl left behind.
And that’s it! Just a few small changes can make a world of difference.
