With just three children, I often find myself buried under the weight of chaos and disorder in my home. I truly admire those who manage to raise four, five, or even six kids. You all are my unsung heroes!
And then there are families with a dozen or more children, like the Duggars, who seem to operate like a small army. I’ve never envied them; in fact, I’ve usually thought they were a little bit out there. The thought of grocery shopping, meal preparation, doctor appointments, and bath time makes my head spin. It all sounds like a nightmare I’m not sure I could handle.
That was my perspective—until this week.
My daughter, Emma, has recently started taking on some household responsibilities. She’s now in charge of folding laundry and organizing the playroom—two tasks I dread. Her weekly allowance? A mere three dollars.
Just three bucks to get her to handle the chores I find most tedious. She’s tackling the laundry, sorting socks, and putting away little outfits. Not to mention organizing the endless piles of toys! This is a game changer.
Is this what happens as kids grow older? You delegate those tasks you loathe to them, all while saving money you would have spent on them anyway? Maybe the Duggars have a point after all.
