When I was pregnant with my sixth blessing, a new friend invited me over to her home. I remember walking in and being FLOORED at how clean and neat her home was.
I mentioned it to her, and she said to me, “I have a lot of helpers,” in reference to all her children who were older than mine but still at home.
It has been over 8 years since that day, and I have never forgotten her words.
Mamas, keep going.
Keep encouraging your kids to help.
Keep requiring them to help.
Keep allowing them to help.
Keep going.
You may not be able to see it now, but I assure you, the reward is great.
