Take note both women and men of the world. One of the more important tasks you have in your life is cleaning house. You may think it's unimportant, but to the contrary cleaning house is very important.
Your commitment to cleaning your house tells the world about you, but more important it tells your children about you as well, and you're their role model.
Often the way you clean your house is an expression of how you were brought up. Did mom keep a neat and clean house? Then there's a reasonable chance that you will too, because we learn from how mom (and dad) did things. We learn our domestic skills from them.
But sadly for many of us we didn't have house proud moms, we didn't have moms who ran a tight ship and who showed us when we were young how to do all those myriads of tasks that keep a house neat and clean and running properly.
That was probably because mom and dad never learned the important skills of housekeeping from their parents.
I make sure that my kids are involved in all aspects of running the home. They complain of course, but I still have them drying dishes, vacuuming the house or cooking the meals. And they have to do the tasks to earn their pocket money.
And I believe that making sure the kids know how to run a household properly is an important, no essential, skill for them to learn. As important as many other of life's skills.
One of the most important skills to impart to children in my view is cooking. Start them small when young of course, but if you get them cooking when young they'll love it and progress to full meals over time.
I have used the skills I learned cooking that were taught to me by my parents, and I have been grateful for those skills ever since, including all of the necessary house cleaning skills.
All children admire their parents and look to them for a lead. If they see you using your skills at housekeeping meticulously, and even better if you teach them good housekeeping skills, they've learned some essential life skills that they will value for years.
If your housekeeping is so poor that you can't even invite your friends to dinner for embarrassment at your untidy house and poor cooking, then chances are your kids will be exactly the same.
In this theme I've recently put together a book with all sorts of household cleaning tips and tricks. The stuff your mom or your grandmother should have taught you, but perhaps didn't.
The sorts of tips that millions of people around the country should know.
So remember, if you're a parent, one of the most important things you can do for your kids is to help them learn the importance of, and skills of, housekeeping. It's your duty as a good mom or dad.
