Do your kids have responsibilities or chores they must do daily? Sometimes you may think you are asking a lot, but are you asking enough? There are signs that you aren't asking enough of your kids.
I felt completely overwhelmed by my never-ending to do list, but when I started to look at my list with “business” eyes I realized how little I actually had to do.
One thing that drives me crazy is when I ask my kids to do something (after they’ve basically done nothing but eat, sleep, and play all day), and they complain about it.
I think sometimes we, as parents, have a hard time realizing that our sweet little babies have grown into little beings who are capable of doing a lot more than we expect.
My kids tend to leave their things all over the house, and I know that’s because I’ve done a bad job of expecting and teaching them to put things away.
