Imagine if you had to juggle many tasks including caring for your family. This is what many mothers frequently deal with. If your hard-working mother has lots to do around the house, why not make her life easier and pitch in?[1]
Keep your own room clean. Make sure your room is organized free of dirtiness. Clean up any messes as soon as possible. Launder your bedding (pillowcases, sheets, and blankets) at least once a week to keep everything fresh and clean and make your bed. If you have a trash can, empty it before it starts to overflow.
If you have siblings, encourage and/or help them clean their rooms as well.
Why is it a good idea to do your homework somewhere other than your bedroom?
Figure out what tasks you could do that your mother usually takes care of. Depending on your age and abilities, you may not be able to cook a big fancy dinner for your family, but you may be able to whip up a simple lunch for your siblings.[2]
Ask your mom what she could use help with. She probably has suggestions for things you could do for her.
Keep in mind that you are "helping" the whole family, yourself included. Your mom will appreciate your help but it isn't just her job to keep the household running smoothly; it's the responsibility of each person in the household, right down to very basic chores for the toddlers.
Organize a "Mom's Day Off" with your family. Gather the rest of your family and divide up the duties your mother would normally do on a certain day amongst everyone. On that day, have your family do the chores while your mother unwinds.
Keep at it! Your mother is probably working hard for you every day, so she could use your help as often as you can give it. After everyone has participated in Mom's Day off, ask everyone to stick at their chosen tasks from that point on.
Always help your mom, and she will be very happy.
Help your mom if she asks for it. If your mother requests that you help her with the chores, don't complain—help out. She wouldn't be asking if she didn't need your help.
Put the dishes in the sink after eating, and make sure you rinse or wash off whatever dishes you use.
Alternatively, place them in the dishwasher. When you notice it is full, set it a-washing.
Empty the dishwasher when it's complete. It's the task of whoever comes across it first.
Do laundry loads. At the very least, do your own laundry. Children can begin to take care of their own washing from around the age of 8. If you don't know how to remove stains, ask to learn how. Provided the clothes are not stained, it's as easy as gathering your clothes, adding powder or liquid to the washing machine and setting it at the right wash cycle. The machine does most of the work, unlike 100 years ago when people did it all by hand!
Help out with making dinner.[3] You never know, you may find you're a budding chef. If you are really good at one part of dinner or particular dishes, offer to be the person who makes this part or dish on a regular basis.
Feed, water, walk and groom the household pets. Again, the pets are the responsibility of everyone in the household. As an added bonus, pets become more attached to and trusting of those who care for them in these ways, so spread the love around!
Deal with the floors. Vacuuming and mopping are not hard. They are methodical and they are one of the few areas of household cleaning that make an instant and large difference to how a room looks, so enjoy your handiwork.

❤️Teach your children to be responsible (soon they will WANT to help out around the house) by teaching them the value of responsibility and hard work with these "Swap Chores for Screen Time" CARDS! ❤️
This post brought to you by Poise at Walmart. All opinions are 100% mine.
We have had four children and each time, I have been grateful for family and friends that show up to offer a helping hand or even a hug.
Here are 5 ways that people have helped me~ I hope it can help someone else, too.
1- Take a meal. This is such an easy way to help. I would sign up on a website like Takethemameal.com and set it up for the month after the baby comes. Send it off to her family and friends or even to her church members. Each person signs up (online) for a day to take a meal to the new mom and her family. It is such a blessing!
Here is an easy one that I’ve made in the past to take to friends:
I loved them because they are really lightweight, so it won’t be noticeable. I liked knowing that I didn’t have to run to get Poise at Walmart & I’m sure your friend will be glad, too. Plus, she will need these well after the baby has been born because having babies can put a lot of strain on your bladder. I know several people that actually had to have bladder surgery because of LBL.) Ps- you can get a Poise Coupon here, too.
Lastly, for your basket, don’t forget to pick up a baby toy (like the TeetherTops) something heart-touching, like my favorite book to give to new moms: Let me hold you longer (also at Walmart).
5- Go grocery shopping for her or join some friends to pay for a cleaning service.
Ask her what she needs and don’t take “Oh, I’m OK” for an answer. Tell her that you want to help… and that you would be so happy if she let you help! Here are some grocery shopping tips to save money.
