Need Help From Family At Home – Please Ask!
It’s a common complaint – a little bit of Cinderella Syndrome. The mom does all kinds of housework and feels like a slave. Or, the dad will work all day then do all sorts of outdoor chores with grumbles under his breath. Too much to do and not enough time, energy, or help. Worse yet, the spirit and environment of the home becomes tense and resentful.
So what do we parents often do? Either not ask anyone and hope people will read our minds, or complain and whine frequently to anyone who will listen. I’ll raise my hand here, I’ve done these things too. It’s time we took a look at this situation and some better things we can do about it.
