So I'm curious do you clean up after dinner there's a dinner mess dishes the table all that before the kids go to bed or once they're in bed for me I really really try to clean up the kitchen before our bedtime routine it doesn't always happen but usually it's my husband's home and everything he plays with the kids while I clean up the kitchen do the dishes and all that so then there's lots to do once they're in bed and I can maybe have more time to myself
So generally I clean up either as I go or I clean up Right after they go to bed and like settle down like after it gets quiet and I have some me time then I start cleaning I just try to do it quietly, but I I don't
For sure our time on Sarah sleep is so important I feel like there's always a few things I have to do before they go to bed that I didn't quite finish up but I try to get it done quickly so I can have my time to just kind of relax and watch a show it's like the only time the day were it's my times
My kids are a little bit older. They're eight, five, and six. And I recently started a chore chart. and one of their chores is to clean off the table, the other is to sweep the floors and one is doing
But when I say dishes I mean like the kids cups and plates and spoons and forks either me or my husband do the pots and pans and the knives I don't let them wash my knives at all because they're extremely sharp
But I just wanted to teach them a little bit of independence so they know how to you know be grown and responsible adults and that having a home is cleaning that home but that's just what I do
That's genius that is awesome I will definitely do that when mine are a little bit older and then it will make things hopefully would be easier for me and I was overwhelming with cleaning up and then I also like he said it teaches them responsibility so great idea I'm definitely gonna use that
I typically clean up before they go to bed because you know once they're in bed like that's my time I enjoy wine, I watch my favorite show or whatever. I don't want to spend that time cleaning up.
Yes for sure I'm the same way I'm a try as best as I can there's always a few things I saw to do after they go to bed but I try to do as much as I can because I want to sleep I want my time I wanna relax a bit it's like the one time I have for myself in the day so
Yeah I definitely try to clean up as much as I can while they're still up and then once if they're going to bed then I'll finish up but yeah usually I try to use that time for myself
Exactly I hate spending like a super long amount of time after I get them to bed cleaning up and doing 1 million things like it be nice to have that little bit of time to myself and to relax so definitely agree I try to get as much done before they go to bed
Yes I do clean up dinner before the kids bedtime because I cannot stand a dirty sink before I go to bed it drives me absolutely nuts so I make sure the dishes are done before I go to sleep
I cannot go to bed myself if the dishes aren't done, they just drive me absolutely nuts. till the dishes till after the kids are in bed. I have less motivation and I'm more tired for sure. and yes
