Clean the room & love them well.

“You should encourage your kids to clean their own rooms, as I did with mine”. How many times have you heard something like this spoken to you? I am a different type of mom, and I’ve often heard others express similar sentiments.

Our kids face immense pressure daily, balancing academic expectations, friendships, chores, sports, and the challenges of being a teenager, which can be overwhelming even for adults. But yet we are so quick to dismiss kids because they are kids. Finally we need to take part in understanding the stresses and pressures our kids come up against daily.

Let the haters hate.

Let the haters hate; after a long workday, there’s joy in coming home to a clean house. I took time to deep clean the kids’ rooms, allowing them to enjoy a tidy space when they return from school. It’s about relieving them of stress, even if just for a day, by maintaining a clean environment and showing love. CLEAN THE ROOM!! LOVE THEM WELL!
