Hello great moms and dads in the house. Happy New week to everyone of you from me.
For the contest of daily challenge in June 2022 part 1. I want to start with having a hard time keeping the house clean with kids.
In this contest I will be sharing from my own personal experience as a mother of five.
By the grace of God I am blessed with a wonderful husband and five lovely children. It is actually a big family, because we are eight including my adopted son.
When it comes to having a clean house with this kind of population in the house, most times it is difficult for me. Because no matter how hard I try, it always seems as if I have done nothing.
In every family, there are the basic things you will do to keep the house clean. I will love to list some below:
Sweeping the floor
Mopping the floor
Washing everyone's clothes
Washing plates
Making everyone's bed
Bathing the kids
Cleaning all the electronics in the house.
The list is unending
In my own case, the house is only clean after five minutes of sweeping. It goes back to how it was before sweeping.
Secondly, I wash clothes twice every day, and yet before the day comes to an end, lots of clothes are packed waiting for washing again.
Thirdly, after washing plates in the morning, it becomes dirty again after breakfast, lunch and dinner. It means that you must keep washing plates as long as everyone will have to eat.
Similarly, mopping of the floor, doesn't really make any difference, because it will soon be dirty again.
Furthermore, bathing the kids has to be morning, afternoon and night to make sure that they will always look neat.
In conclusion, most African women wakes up early and go to sleep late to keep the family running or you will considered a lazy woman. So, for us, keeping the house clean is a very big task, but we have no choice than to face it.
Thanks. Love from myself to every mom and dad in the house.
