    What do mothers think of housework? Let's read the following ideas.

Laura	We don't like housework, but at the same time, we hope to have a clean and comfortable home.     My neighbor Teresa told me that I didn't have to do everything right away. We can do small things with great love. Start with the easy ones, rest, and then go on with the others. It becomes less tiring but much more interesting when you divide(分成)things into smaller parts.
Mona	What should you call those who use towels(毛巾)but never wash them, eat meals but never do the dishes, sit in rooms but never clean them？If your answer is "A house guest." you're wrong. Because I just describe my kids.
Mary	Kids seem to learn to use the computer and turn on the TV quickly. However, they have difficulty in using the vacuum cleaner(真空吸尘器). It's really surprising.
