=The 21st century good house persons guide= =*The children are stuck to the playstation like glue. Start up a conversation so they can just look away for a minute. Mum says ‘come off the playstation darling and help me with dinner’. If they say no, say no pocket money for a week if you don’t help with dinner.= =*The little darling children won’t eat their vegetables and you have tried the ‘trick’ of saying your hair will go curly and it helps you see in the dark. But they still don’t. Use reverse psychology, and say just go ahead, eat the whole packet of biscuits. Guilt always works.= =*You should make a set plan for doing certain jobs around the house like mowing the lawns, making dinner, cleaning the pool and folding washing etc.= =*Plan the menu for dinner ahead, so when you get home from a long day at work you don’t have to use any brain strain to figure out what you are going to make. It will mean you can take less time on cooking dinner and can spend more time with the little angels.= =*Do jobs like folding the washing etc in front of the T.V.= =*Alternate doing dishes like every two days, change with your brother and sister.= =*Have turns looking after the kids because that means you get quality time with them.= =*Every one in the house has to contribute to cleaning which means mum won’t be as stressed.= =*Don’t fight in front of the kids! Kids look up to their adults and when they grow older they will take after their mum and dad.= =By Molly=
