Attention, kids and partners! It may feel like we have high demands, but the truth is, it doesn’t take much to keep us content. Yet, somehow, you often engage in behaviors that can drive us up the wall, and honestly, we’re over it. We’re not fans of losing our cool or throwing tantrums like children. We strive for peace and tranquility, and your help is essential for that.
Here are ten simple actions you can take to prevent us from losing our minds every day:
-
Dishes in the Sink, Please.
I’m not even asking for the dishwasher — just place your dirty dishes in the sink. It seems simple, right? Let’s avoid seeing them scattered across the counter or left in odd places around the house. -
Laundry in the Hamper.
If you want clean clothes, put them in the hamper. No one wants to dig through your room to discover if your jeans are clean or not. Just drop them in their designated spot. -
Proper Hygiene Matters.
Let’s talk about bathroom habits. Please ensure you clean up properly after using the restroom. No one wants to encounter unpleasant surprises in the laundry. -
Use the Garbage Disposal.
It’s as easy as flipping a switch. If the disposal isn’t running, the smell in the house can become intolerable. Just do it! -
Flush the Toilet.
If you can flush after urinating multiple times, you should definitely do the same after a bowel movement. It’s a basic courtesy that keeps our home pleasant. -
Trash in the Bin.
Whether it’s a candy wrapper or a tag from a new shirt, make sure it goes directly into the trash can. The last thing I want to do is find garbage hidden between couch cushions. -
Follow Through on Promises.
If you say you will take out the trash, please do it. If you don’t want to commit to a task, it’s best not to announce it. But if you make a promise, keep it. -
Pay Attention When I Speak.
If I take the time to explain our schedule, don’t ask me the same question half an hour later. It’s frustrating and makes me want to lose my cool. -
Return Borrowed Items.
Feel free to borrow my things, but make sure to return them to their rightful place. It’s frustrating to be late because you still have my keys. -
Express Your Love.
Never underestimate the power of a simple “I love you.” It can make a world of difference, especially when I’m dealing with the remnants of your snacks left behind.
