I was telling my Vietnamese co-worker that I had visited my son at the apartment he shares with his girlfriend and said that his floor was dusty and he needed to clean his bathroom sink. My co-worker asked me if I cleaned it for him and said "Heck no!" She said that in her country, if a mom went into her kid's house and it was dirty, she'd clean it for him. I had to remind her that she was no longer in her country. So, would you do it? How would your kid his/her spouse/significant other feel?

I called my son later and told him to clean his sink and sweep his floor. I never would tell her to do this. She has a full-time day job and he has two part time jobs so i feel he can pitch in more and I told him just that. If my mother-in-law had come into my house and just cleaned it because it was dirty, I would have been horrified, and there's no way i want to do that to my daughter-in-law.

Yes my Daughter just had my fourth grandchild a month ago and in a couple of weeks she will have to go back to work. So if she called me and asked me if I could help her with the house I would be happy to go and help her. To me that's what me being a mom is all about.

depends on the circumstances. i have a deadbeat husband who wouldn't do anything when we were living together. I had a very rough pregnancy and the all the housework got out of control. my mother in law came down and cleaned the house while i was in the hospital with the baby (c-section for me, and the baby was in NICU). I was so grateful for what she did. But if they are both healthy and just lazy, then, forget it. they can clean their own house.

toddlers shouldn't assume to be paid for issues that are predicted of them besides- choosing up their issues, putting their outfits away, making their mattress. those issues are predicted and not issues they'd desire to do for money. Now, in the event that they choose to assist sparkling the storage or do some thing extra desirable around the homestead for some money for the time of the week, then sure, yet while it incredibly is a few thing all waiting predicted of them, no. My son is barely 2 so he would not incredibly get an allowance yet even nevertheless we provide him each and all the unfastened exchange we detect for the time of a week for his piggy economic business enterprise. we've executed that on the grounds that he got here homestead from the wellness center. He helps out to the proper of his 2 year old skill around the homestead yet till he's a splash older he's not predicted to do something chore sensible- yet- aside from feeding his puppy fish each and each morning. My husband or I develop him up and he places a shake of the nutrition into the fish bowl for his fish each and every morning. He loves doing it, yet i'm not likely to pay him for it. while he's sufficiently old to appreciate that funds is important to purchase issues he needs then we are going to set a smart allowance for him in accordance to his age and coach him approximately spending/saving. For now the only money he gets to spend is that if we provide him a dollar now and then for some thing on the dollar Tree (we don't bypass frequently) or if somebody sends him money for his birthday or Christmas and then we funds exams for him and take him to the keep to %. out what he needs. Does he continually make alternatives we would choose? No. yet youngsters discover out approximately money, saving and spending by utilising doing. in the event that they squander it on junk they learn that they sacrifice the skill to get issues they choose to boot.

It all depends on the circumstances. If she were ill, or worked lots of hours, or just had a baby and needed a helping hand, of course I would, and I know she would do the same for me. If it was dirty out of pure lazyness and nothing more, then no I wouldn't.

She would feel the door hitting her in the back and never opening it again. Only time this is helpful is if the child asked for your help like when she had jsut had a baby.

No, but then i don't clean their rooms here either. If they want it clean, they know how to do it. My mother has a bad habit of rearranging my house (small furniture, rugs, kitchen cabinets, etc.). She likes to put things "Where they should be." I usually let her, then change it back after she leaves.

No way would I clean it for them. If they want to live like pigs, let them. No need in bringing it up either. They are adults paying their own bills and saying something really is rude.
