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. I learn from my neighbor Teresa. She says, "You don't have to do everything right away, but ‘do small things with great love. ' Start with the easy ones, rest, and then go on with others. It becomes less tiring but much more interesting when you divide (分成) things into smaller parts. "
Mona
Do you know what you should call those who use towels (毛巾) but never wash them, eat meals but never do the dishes, sit in rooms but never clean? If your answer is "a house guest (房客)", you're wrong, because I just described my kids.
Mary
My kids seem to learn to use the computer and turn on the TV quickly. However, they have difficulty in using the vacuum cleaner (吸尘器). It is really amazing.
