Hey there, kids and partners, listen up! I know it might feel like we have a long list of requests, but honestly, it’s not that hard to keep us happy. It’s perplexing how often things happen that drive us to the brink, and we’re just over it. Trust me, we don’t enjoy losing our cool, but we crave a little peace and calm. So, here’s how you can help us stay centered and avoid daily meltdowns.
-
Dishes in the Sink, Please.
Seriously, it’s not a big ask. I’m not even demanding you load the dishwasher—just place your dirty dishes in the sink. Not on the floor or counter, but in the sink. And if you want to go the extra mile, running some water on them wouldn’t hurt. -
Clothes Belong in the Hamper.
If you want clean clothes, you need to put them in the right spot. Don’t leave your dirty laundry scattered around like a treasure hunt. Just toss them into the hamper—it’s easier than you think. -
Proper Hygiene Matters.
Let’s talk about basics. Please, make sure you’re wiping properly after using the restroom. No one wants to deal with laundry that has unfortunate remnants. -
Use the Garbage Disposal.
It’s just a switch! Why must I be the one to flip it? That strange smell can permeate the whole house, and it drives me to distraction. -
Flush the Toilet.
If my kids can flush after every pee, surely adults can do the same after a number two. It’s just common courtesy! -
Trash Goes in the Bin.
It doesn’t matter if it’s just a candy wrapper or a tag from a new sweater. Just toss it in the trash can right away to avoid clutter and my exasperation later. -
Follow Through on Commitments.
If you say you’ll take out the trash, do it! If you don’t want to meet my expectations, then don’t announce you’ll do it. But if you do commit, please stick to it—this is crucial. -
Pay Attention When I Speak.
If I take the time to explain where the family calendar is located, please remember it! Asking me about plans shortly after I’ve shared them will send me through the roof, and I like our roof intact. -
Return My Things.
Feel free to borrow my belongings, but make sure they’re returned to their rightful place. I can’t be late for work because my keys are still in your pocket! -
Express Your Love.
A simple “I love you” can go a long way. It might seem small, but it can help me keep my patience when I’m cleaning up the remnants of your last meal that you left to fester.
