Oh, boy... 😃
When I got my kiddo, I was 28, and my wife was 26, so a similar age as your niece... Yes, it was early, but both of us had jobs, and we weren't super-experts in taking care of the house or such... But, I did have friends that were like your niece, and after getting a child, they have changed a lot and become more responsible...

I suppose that the problem with house chores is that while there is someone else who is doing them, they will not start doing them... I know that it hurts to see a dirty home, but she will never learn if you doing her job...

Don't worry too much... It's her life and she will eventually realize that... 😃


I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project which will be highlighted in the next post!

Kids these days can be challenging to understand but I'm hopeful that like some of your friends who became more responsible, my niece would too :-)

This is very true. I tried not doing anything for days to see if she will step up but oh boy, lol! Will see how it goes as I might be going home to the other place soon. Thank you lots for your highlights and for these advice. Sometimes I simply overthink and worry too much😂

Believe me, I understand you... I'm also a bit obsessive with certain things... lol... I know it's not good to do something that my son should do, but I can't wait for him... Patience... breathe... 😂
The worst thing is that we think that we are doing good for them, but it is vice-versa... It's like when grandparents spoil children... :)

Thank you :) Breathing in and out today, lol!

Truth. We aren't really helping them but making it worst. I now have to resist going up there and let her be, lol!
