Life without a Maid

My Wife has been busy with housework. She is always doing the laundry. Doing laundry for 3 boys is a gigantic chore. The amount of clothing they go through is incredible. Their clothing are all stinky and dirty. I add to the load with my cycling. I have two sets of sweaty smelly T-shirts and shorts every day.

We have to eat out most of the time or eat ready-to-eat snacks at home. Good thing is we are going for holiday and will be living in a hotel.

Life without our household help can be enlightening. Our boys have to help out with the chores. They learn responsibilities of the household. It also bring out the worst. B1 was upset as he does not like to be told how to do the chores. He is very testy. Meanwhile B2 and B3 are adapting well to life without someone picking up after them. We learn more about our boys. I also feel our boys are learning not to take things for granted. We will be very happy when Felma is back and we appreciate her much more. As the saying goes Absence makes heart grow fonder...
