Ever since kakak went back to Indonesia for good, I involve the girls in almost every chore – hanging out, retrieving, folding and keeping the clothes, cleaning up before and after meals and cleaning up their own mess. You spill drinks, you drop food on the floor – you clean them up. Alycia was exempted in most of the chores for the past 1 week due to school exam. Yesterday was the last day of her exam. After her shower, she helped me to hang out the clothes. I always tell the girls that I am not their maid and not to take things for granted, thinking that kakak is still around. There is no more maid in the house. Everyone is to take ownership and responsibility of their own area and actions. No. 1 and no. 3 are pretty helpful while no. 2 is still pretty helpless in house chores and has a “I don’t care” attitude. Yesterday, she got a big tongue lashing session from me when she tossed my new Ikea bowl made of ceramic like a ball juggler after putting rice into the bowl! And 2 days ago, she spilled herbal drink on the table and floor when she balanced her mug at the edge of the table and drank from the mug balanced precariously at the edge of the table!! How would you handle such a brat?!
My 2 earnest helpers helping me to label the containers for unfinished food before storing them in the freezer.
