It’s been more than a month we are coping without a live-in maid. It’s tough but we humans are darn resilient creatures and yes, I am slowly getting used to it, albeit I still wish that there is a live-in maid to help me out.  Though the girls help out in the house chores, it is only after being reminded repeatedly and at times being threatened. Well, kids being kids and I doubt any kid will willingly help out without being told, unless the situation at home is one that is so pressing that the kids need to partake in house chores in order to get by his/her day.
One chore that the girls will volunteer to help out without being told is folding laundry. The reason? See the picture below.
Because the only time that I allow them to watch the idiot box is when they help to fold the laundry. No work, no TV and that’s a condition!
And being maidless at home has taught the girls to be more adept with doing basic house chores. Here Alycia and Sherilyn are folding a king-size comforter and they can fold it pretty neatly too with concerted effort. Cass is also getting better and better each day with her clothes folding job assignment. Yesterday, she told me that she liked folding clothes and volunteered to fold the clothes for everyone! After folding the clothes, she will sort them out before keeping them into the respective drawers. I must really credit her for such a job well done given that she is only 4 years old.

We are to some extent, too dependent on domestic helpers. Without a maid, the kids will learn how to do house chores, just like what we used to do … bravo your 3 angels.
Well done, Cass! My Tia is very good at folding but not T1, or maybe she’s just too lazy so always chin-chai do :-/
oh..all your daughters are such good helper especially Cass…well done… you must be very proud of them. Credit to the mommy too. 🙂
Glad to see your angels helping you at work. At least mummy can get some rest. Well done!
I am really happy to see your kids sharing out the house chores. This will only do them good as a person in future. I believe so.
wah really good to have so many helpers. No work, no TV that is great idea haha.
