Role change weekend
As I work from home I tend to make sure I do my share of the housework. My normal daily jobs include:
- tidying the bedrooms
- making the beds
- washing, drying and putting away the clothes
Well Debbie and I have been finding our respective daily tasks a bit of a grind, so on Friday we decided that we would swap jobs every weekend. So this weekend I have been:
- making all of the meals
- setting the table
- clearing the table, washing up, drying and putting away the pots
it’s been a great success, I have loved not having to do my jobs, and really enjoyed my new weekend jobs. By Sunday I had change the routine and made it a lot more organised and peaceful and had written up (stephie laminated for me) a crib sheet that tells me all of the kids favorite meals, vegetables, fruit, drinks etc, as with 4 kids I am always forgetting Hopefully a weeks break from them will mean I enjoy these tasks every weekend, as they say “a change is as good as a rest”.
