I have tried to get my children more involved with chores plus housework, but it’s difficult when they’re still in elementary school. They kept making excuses about “forgetting” to do their basic chores, so I made a huge display for the refrigerator in the living room. I even rotate some of the tougher chores like weed pulling plus window washing. Since neither of these jobs needs to be done daily, I’d be cheerful if they simply kept up with cleaning their rooms. However, they like to push everything into a pile in the corner of their floor instead of really organizing their toys plus possessions. I taught them to organize using plastic storage tubs, but it has been a relentless battle to get them to take up their responsibilities with more dedication plus hardwork. They sometimes rotate sweeping plus mopping the tile floors, even though I discovered something particularly aggravating when I was doing my heating plus cooling program inspection Last year. After confirming that the air handler was toiling at normal capacity, I carefully ran tests on the ventilation system. This is when I found something that frustrated me greatly. Apparently my kids have been sweeping dust, dirt, plus food crumbs into our baseboard air returns instead of using a dustpan to collect it consistently. I was so angry because the dust pan is barely extra labor or any more effort required on part of the person sweeping the floor. Needless to say, they were scolded plus taught how to sweep the floor consistently from here on out. I told them that I don’t want to ever find floor debris swept into the baseboard air returns again.
