advice
Im 17 female I have 3 siblings. Ages 15, 13 & 4.
We fight over who does the kitchen alotttt. Yea sounds like second grade because it is. Im tired of it. I have a job & im also not home alot.
When i get home from work the kitchen is a mess & i dont clean it because its not my mess. But the next day i end up cleaning up the mess because my other two siblings ( 15, 13 yr olds ) just dont do it.
The 13 year old spends the ENTIRE day on the computer pretty much from the second she wakes up till the second she goes to bed Which usually isnt till 4-5 AM.
The 15 year just doesnt think he has to do anything & watches ttv the entire day.
I feel that i shouldnt have to clean the kitchen Or anything that was messed up when i was not at home. Do you guys agree?
And how do i get them to get up a clean something? Dont tell me talk to your parents. Trust me i do talk to my parent sbut they really don't do anything about it except say " i don't want to hear about it"
PLLLEase help me out here.
And also what age do you think it is ohk for a kid to start cleaning the kitchen.?
Tell whoever makes the mess to clean their mess up. If they only made a small mess out of a big huge mess that someone else made, only force them to clean their own. Unless its the 4-year-old, of course. This will make it easier for you, at least a little bit.
I say that at age 8 you can assist with some things, like mopping the floor or drying dishes. At age 13 I think you are definitely able to clean most of the kitchen. Maybe not scrubbing the floors and/or stove, but definitely doing most tasks.
Have a talk with your siblings, without yelling or sarcasm. Be up-front but polite and nice. Ask them to clean their own messes and at least pitch in for 10 minutes a day. If they agree, you will spend much less time cleaning and much more "you" time. =]
(Rating: 4) At the age 13 she should be able to mop, scrub the floors and stove.
