I chose 'OTHER' because we do a combo of three- we have a housekeeper, they clean and I help.


Lemme explain...


They are responsible to keep their rooms clean, but I help them keep their drawers relatively neat. Ms Maria dusts the blinds, ceiling fans, baseboards and she changes the linens.

Em's chore 2x a week is to make sure her bedroom is picked up, her bathroom and her closet and desk!


Fridays her big chore is to dust, pick up and vacuum her room!


About every 3 mos or so I do a heavy cleaning and re-organizing!


SO I picked the She cleans it option but I do help out!

I picked other. Usually I help her. We are not big on clean rooms. Otherwise I'd have to take myself to ask for that one. As long as I can walk across the floor without killing myself I'm okay with that. LOL


Sometimes if I am vaccuuming I might toss the stuffed animals in the bin, gather up a few things and vaccumm the middle, but usually a couple of times a year we do a very thorough clean/tidy and then I help her because its too overwhelming. We go through all her stuff and decide what goes to charity, toss, keep. That is hard for her to do and sometimes I need to push her a bit to get rid of things I know she doesn't play with or need. Usually she does a half-tidy before she's having anyone over for a sleepover, but she doesn't spend all that much time in her room and is good about putting laundry in the basket so it doesn't get "too" bad.

That was supposed to be our project for this weekend, I will sometimes help out, just because if its a large job she doesn't always know where to start. It hasn't been cleaned much since we moved, so its a bit overwhelming for her at the moment. We got a little ways into it but not really. She is having 2 teammates over this wednesday to work on a project, so I may do it tonight just to help her out because she won't be home to do it before Wed. when they show up. That also gives me the chance to "purge" some more stuff while she isn't looking.

I will pick up some things in Rach's room & vacuum after she does the rest, esp her clothes. Also I am big on her taking the junk out from under her bed herself...I refuse to fish that crap shoved under there ;-)

I'm too much of a control freak. She makes her bed, dusts her room and basically keeps it orgainized but that's about it.
