“You can say what you want about housework--dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and so forth-- but besides having dinner together every night, there's nothing more valuable to a household than order. A tidy home provides structure for family life and an oasis from the chaos of daily living. And these sorts of household chores keep us in touch with our possessions, ideally in a constant state of measuring their value in our lives. Housekeeping chores are made for divvying up among family members-- cleaning gets done more quickly, everyone is invested in the care of the home, and good habits are established and shared all the way around.” ResponsibilityFamilyCleaningHouseworkChores Book:The Apron Book: Making, Wearing, and Sharing a Bit of Cloth and Comfort Source: The Apron Book: Making, Wearing, and Sharing a Bit of Cloth and Comfort
