This is good! I like where it is going! Sometimes Linna likes to help. Whenever I ask – she doesn’t want to help. She likes to come and help every time I keep my mouth shoot and ignore here. Nice!
Now I will have new tactics! I will start cleaning something and I hope, I really hope she will be with me for cleaning. I don’t like cleaning. That’s the one chore that won’t “solve” easily! The one annoying thing is – girls can make a mess in few minutes and another thing is… this house would never be clean – it’s old and renovated and not finished, so a lot of dust and “things” like small wood shavings always find the way to our living area. I guess this house has small wood shavings packed in between stories (for isolation)!?
So here I am willing to have little helpers in my daily chores!

Great to have a helper like that. I’ve said before that Linna and I have more in common than ‘grumpy’, I too a more like to help if not asked! 😜

It is how they learn, by copying you. My daughter was my helper years ago and now, my grandsons are offering to help. I never refuse their “help” even when it means more work for me because I know this is how they learn; by trying to help. When the work is finished I always congratulate them on a job well done then we celebrate their little successes with a happy dance.

Awwww! How sweet! I know those moments when they want to help and something inside you say “NooooooO!” but you smile and wave “Yes, no problem!” 🙂

Absolutely! There are not enough moments like that for me.

I think you’re lucky. My son never wants to help. I have to say help or else

I have the same issue with my son, if I ever make him do anything, he will not do it. He has to get a chore started on his own to complete it. I used to reward him for doing chores when he was little. He can be very helpful; at times it takes a while to get him to clean his room.

It sounds good! And I would say “his room is his room!” but yes, they have to clean it more than once in year before Christmas 🙂

What a great little helper! Sometimes they are not so helpful but we don’t want to discourage them from trying. How else can they learn?

Yeah… that is the reason why I stayed calm for 10 minutes while Linna vacuumed 1 square meter over and over again…

Oh, well! I’m sure Linna had a great time ‘helping’ Mummy! Good that you remained calm as well!

Yes! She would love to do that again, so why not (after I clean everything, perhaps)
