Whistle While you Work

Work has been changed from something fun and meaningful that the family creates together to an inconvenient task that needs to get done. The role of the mother and wife is also something that has shifted in recent years. The traditional view of the work completed by husbands and wives is that the man goes out to his job while the woman upkeeps the home. The responsibility of homemaking has been somewhat frowned upon in modern times, but is something that is still important and necessary. It has become more commonplace for women to become employed outside of the home. Typically wives who work end up taking on twice as much work because they are still left with responsibilities in the home. Researchers have also found that the cost for mothers to work outside of the home tends to cost more than the income she is receiving. After calculating the payments made for transportation and childcare, it is sometimes more expensive for women to work rather than staying home.
A similar problem plagues children in the world today. Young children enjoy helping around the house, but this desire starts to root out of them as they grow older. Parents can help their children enjoy housework by making them feel like they are apart of doing something good. Use housework as a method of teaching children useful skills that they will need throughout their life. Parents can also find ways to make housework fun and exciting. The biggest way families can do this is through altering their mindset. They can view work as a time for their family to fix, clean, and progress together and bond as a family unit.
