Make list of what needs to be done. Put on some music and start on this list, checking off things as you go. Just do it...at least this once and look at the job well done when you finish. You'll appreciate how much better things look and then to avoid letting things get too messed up again, dedicate at least 10 minutes a day to tidy up...you can give up computer time for that long. GL!

Start by keeping tour own room clean for motivation comes with pride and what you think of yourself . I find when my rooms a mess generally so is everything else . Think of the rewards you will receive by allowing mum to do other things . I know its hard for thirteen year old to understand . the end result of a little help is that all concerned get to spend more valuable time with one another. and life generally runs smoother . I wish your mum luck , I'm a single Dad of for in Aus my oldest son is 14 . You must be OK to be even concerned with the well being of your Mum, good luck to you to.

Think of how pleased she would be for your assistance. Bet even if she does not say anything her actions towards you are bound to change. She would have a respect for what you have to say and would accommodate you more.
When I help my mum she's like that, she suddenly realises I'm not a child any more. Besides it would allow her to get some rest for a change. Imagine you were her, would you not just love a break from doing for a change.
Let this motivate you ;).

To start, stop calling yourself lazy.
Then, pick up a little everyday. You know the clothes can be put into the hamper or hung up or put into a drawer.
Try straightening up your bed, believe it or not simply making the bed makes the room look neater. Clean up your own messes. Put your trash into the trash, rinse your dishes and put them in the dishwasher or wash them yourself. Be available to your mom on cleaning day. When two people work together, house cleaning gets done a lot quicker ; then you can both be free for the rest of the day.
Play music. It works for the military and it works for house cleaning.

right this is what i do to my kids to get them to help me
in the house even my 3 yr old does something
they all get given tasks to in the morning i put them in there rooms just before i go to bed
they know that they must do these tasks before they are
1 allowed to watch telly
2 go out to play
3 have any mates in the house or garden
& 4 no computer till they have done what has been asked of them
they get 3 tasks to each
why not write yourself a list of job's to each day
even if it's only 3/4 things thats better than nothing & your family will love you even more for it coz the more you do the less your mum has to do
go do it NOW

it great that you have this in your mind, rather than just start a job, why not ask how you could help, its a bit of a risk as you may end up with a job you do not like..lol but your mum will appreciate the offer...try to plan the job, don't rush it as getting it right brings a reward of its own...any help?

Well I don't like people coming to visit if my house is dirty, so to get my self in the cleaning mood, I pretend that I am going to have company coming over and I get busy cleaning.You know some times people just drop by with out calling and there your house is dirty. So just pretend that someone is on their way over and start cleaning.

Just think of all the things that your Mother does for you. If that's not a motivator then I don't know what is.

It's all about how you feel about yourself. I live with my fiance and I feel incredibly guilty if I don't help out. I think he works so hard to support me and love me, the least I can do is keep the house clean. You have to think the same way about your mom. She loves you and works hard to provide for you and love you. It all reality, it's the least you can do. In retrospect when I lived with my parents I wish I would have helped out more. They did so much for me and put up with my teen-ager self. They probably would have appreciate a little more help.
