Hey kids and partners, listen up! We know it might seem like we’re asking for the impossible sometimes, but really, it’s not that hard to make us smile. Yet, somehow, you all manage to do the little things that can push us over the edge. We don’t enjoy losing our cool, and we certainly don’t want to throw adult tantrums. We just crave a little peace and happiness. So, let’s work together to keep the chaos at bay, shall we? Here are some simple ways to help us stay sane:
- Dishes in the Sink, Please.
No need to load the dishwasher—just toss your plates, cups, and bowls into the sink. I don’t get why that extra step feels like climbing Everest, but just do it. If you’re feeling generous, a little water on them wouldn’t hurt! - Clothes in the Hamper.
If you expect clean clothes, we expect you to put the dirty ones in the right spot. No more digging around for your hidden laundry. Just throw them in the hamper where they belong, okay? - Please, Wipe Properly.
No one wants to deal with those unfortunate skid marks in their laundry. If you’re using our washing machine, let’s keep it poop-free. - Run the Garbage Disposal.
It’s just a switch, folks! Flip it so we don’t have to deal with weird odors wafting through the house. Trust me; it’s a quick and easy fix. - Flush, Please!
If the kids can flush the toilet after a pee, surely they can do the same after a more significant job. Let’s keep our bathroom enjoyable for everyone. - Trash in the Can.
Even if it’s just a candy wrapper, toss it in the trash can. I don’t want to discover it later between the couch cushions, so let’s keep that mess to a minimum. - Follow Through.
If you say you’re taking out the trash, do it! If you don’t want me to expect great things from you, then stop announcing your intentions. It’s much easier that way. - Listen Up!
If I take the time to explain where the family calendar is, please remember it. Asking me where we’re headed tomorrow just minutes later is a surefire way to make me lose my mind. - Return My Stuff.
Feel free to borrow my keys, makeup, or whatever, but for the love of all that is holy, put it back where you found it! I don’t want to be late because you “forgot” where you left my keys. - Show Some Love.
It may seem small, but a simple “I love you” can go a long way. It might even prevent me from losing my cool while cleaning out that bowl you left in your room for weeks.
And that’s it for now! Remember, a little consideration can keep the peace in our household—and who doesn’t want that?
