I once heard a smart person say “You can learn the hard way, or you can learn the easy way from people who learned the hard way”. This is an excellent example of that😆💗
One thing I don't think we consider is the example we set when we do everything and do not require chores. Without meaning to, we are teaching our children that the mom is the one who does everything. Why would anyone want to be a wife and mother if they know that they will be doing everything for everyone? If I had grown up that way, I know I would not have wanted to get married much less have children.
Kids naturally want to help from an early age. If you encourage that by letting them "help" with things they can actually do, then they will keep helping. Why we think we can "run" our homes when even businesses show us it takes many hands to have a successful enterprise, I will never know. Where did this idea of a wife and mother being everything to everybody come from in the first place? The movies? TV? I have been trying to recall when all of that changed.
My mom was a stay-at-home mom. When we were tiny, she did do everything. Once we got big enough to do small things, she taught us to do it. By the time we were teenagers, my mom cooked and did laundry. We did all of the cleaning and ironing. She would still do the grocery shopping, but honestly, she had that down to such a fine art that we were in awe of her. Our home ran very well. It was clean and neat and organized.
We all had chores that we did daily and weekly. My mom was able to pursue her dream of being an artist. She had time to do it. My dad was crucial in setting those chores firmly in place and ensuring that they were done. We did resent it, but it only took us an hour to clean the house together...vacuuming, dusting, mopping, scrubbing bathrooms, etc. One hour. On Saturday. After that, we had tons of free time. Of course, I have to give kudos to my dad because he made it all seem fun from early on. Then, there was always the reward of a board game or basketball or something that we all wanted. He was a very smart man. (Also, when it was time to do deep cleaning, he pitched in with that, too. Not just spring cleaning, either.)
Thank you, Angela. I hope all who watch take it to heart. Life is meant to be enjoyed, too. A balance is really important. Plus, if a child has just mopped a floor, they do notice if someone comes and tracks it up. It makes them much more considerate about wiping feet, etc.)
Excellent response on this topic.I admire how your family, mom and dad got it right.I will show that message to my children And we'll learn from you.
@@lanabanana6849 Thank you. I hope that your family works out a plan that will work for you. I am very grateful for the upbringing that I had.
Angie, I wished I had my children to help me around the home. You hit this on the nail, I was a single Mom and I mowed the grass, landscaping, clean the house and do the laundry and I suffered in silence. However, I had a happy ending, my son learned to cook, do laundry and clean the house. He saw me do this and he was able to do all the above and his wife thanked me.
I too was a single mom. My kids were both busy in sports (who knew girls softball was a year-round spot??). I had to do it all and I was exhausted. My kids and I call that time of our lives as “The three of us against the world” because that’s what it felt like. I hated to cook so coming up with meal ideas was a chore, but we finally devised a method of a rotating meal plan and it made a huge difference in our lives. Now that my kids are grown, they have both married chefs! Yeah, I no longer have to cook the large holiday meals! And even though I am now only cooking for me alone, I still meal plan (unfortunately, cooking is still my least favorite chore 🫤).
A game changer for me has been coming up with a realistic weekly cleaning schedule. I used to just put off most cleaning and tidying because it was so overwhelming even just to start. At the same time, I hated living in constant mess and clutter - made me anxious and I couldn’t enjoy my home. Now I have specific tasks for each day and I complete just those, instead of frantically trying to do everything all the time, and getting nothing done. I do each days chores and don’t worry about other things I notice because I know those tasks have their own day and time. Once I got into the swing of it, the baseline cleanliness of our home had much improved and it took a lot less effort to do each days chores. Also fyi, I set up my schedule to only clean on week days and each days cleaning doesn’t take more than an hour.
I did something similar with one weekend day as well. And if we go away for the weekend, I just spread any chores more important to me throughout the week. It's completely changed how our house looks and feels.
I stopped folding my kids clothing because it NEVER stays like that and I have never felt so free 🤣
I used to fold and sort by color and sleeve length. But my kids loved playing dress up and their drawers would just end up crazy. So, to nag my kids less and stress myself less, I stopped folding it. In the right drawer is good enough. Gotta pick my battles.
😂 I’ll never stop folding, never! ❤😂
Me too! And I no longer match socks. I get everyone a bunch of solid color (black for all the kids that fit in the same size) white for opposite sex (girl), and a different style black for the oldest. Their socks get thrown in a bin a couple bins that they can get them by themselves ;)
Agree, each kid has a basket and I just put their clean clothes in their basket. I resisted this idea for the longest time, but boy does it shorten laundry time.
@@aloven3259never say never. I didn't think I would, and then I started hang drying our laundry. That turned into drying on hangers, which turned into just sticking hangers in closets.... literally my folding is pulling things off hangers and folding them in half once or twice on the way to kids hampers or my closrt shelf. And just shorts and jeans. And kitchen towels. Thats it.
I gave up Facebook and Instagram for Lent … it’s been so relaxing and peaceful that I will probably commit to once per week after Easter, just to hit birthdays and check family pages. 🙏🏻 you don’t know you’re missing mental peace until you’re away from the devices. I kept RUclips for useful postings and parish video posts for Mass; I can control what comes up in my list and keep it light.
One major thing that I learned was that I can’t get things done around the house if I’m not home. Haha! I try to consolidate all errands and appointments to Tuesday and Wednesday when it is less crowded out. I have my list of errands, returns, and attempt to schedule appointments (hair, nails, dr, dentist, etc) on those days. This is also a day if I want to treat myself to lunch out or a coffee out, I will do it when I’m running my errands. The other days of the week, I stay home and get things done!
That helps conserve gasoline too. ⛽
Children that are taught and required to help around the house, both jnside and outside, become contributing members of society. Unlike the many spoiled, entitled, brats we see.
My 3 kids are all adults & still live at home because they are in University. I'm still recovering from the shock that it's NOT getting easier.
I'm currently reading, "The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry." It's helping.
♥️🇨🇦
amazing book!
Are you in Canada?? My gosh im so sorry for what’s happening there. 🙏🏼
@@crawleyr4919What new thing is happening in Canada?
@@crawleyr4919I'm not sure what you mean. Aside from inflation (especially at the grocery store), it's business as usual at my house.♥️🇨🇦
@@amandazplace5663 are you in Canada?
All members of the household need to be on board with chores and upkeep. However, I hear the message often about how men need to help out more. If housework is kind of an endless task (and one that we are comparing to the perfection of instragram), having in our mind that the men of the world aren't pulling their weight in this area can easily lead to a constant dissatisfaction with our husband and kids. A calm and fair assessment of their input is important.
I don’t function well if I don’t have a list 😂 It’s satisfying to cross something off and it keeps me motivated and not getting distracted or forgetting something. Without it, hardly anything gets done. Whatever I don’t get to one day, goes on the next days list or I have one of my kids do it and I don’t stress about not completing it 🤷🏼♀️
I love a good “ check off list” 👍I find I’m much more productive and the tasks seem to take less time to complete than in my mind I assumed they would!
My dad would always yell about the lights on in the house, and also get on us about not having enough light of when we reading or playing with toys/crafting when we were kids. I leave my kids alone.
The stuff shuffle for me finally stopped after decluttering and having a place for everything... and taking it there! Now I can pick up the house (I have 4 kids 8 and under) in 15 min.
I have 4 kids 8 and under too! How long did it take you to declutter your entire house? Did you use a specific technique?
@mamahomesteads3514 I started about a year ago. I don't think there's ever a finish point with decluttering, but there is a point where you start to notice a difference. Every day, do something, even just a drawer. Minimal Mom has an online course that helped keep me motivated.
I sing Every Light in the House is on every time we leave the house and I'm running around turning them off. 😂 (That reminds me that we should have a family chat about this. Lol)
We sing this often!!
I even share parts of your video with my husband! Especially “calling the doctor”😂😂. In some of your videos you share your faith. I love that!
Thank you for reminder my hb and son watch tv and talk while i never stop working around the house and barely can drink a cup of coffee.... thank you Angela for the reminder
"ok! My turn to sit. You can continue the cleaning of the bathroom. Thanks😅"
@@Ray-pt5bi 😄 I should do that
Asking for help in my relationship...everytime I try he just goes off on how he is tired when he comes home and shouldn't have to do anything. And he should be able to do what he wants on the weekends. He grew up in a similar household. He of the mindset "my way or the highway". I also am an older mom of littles (will be 39 in Sept and my kids will be 1 & 3 in Aug) so it feels crazy.
A true conversation not accusatory and not when you are both exhausted. On a weekend on or a day you are both not so tired. Mindsets are hard to change on both sides of he isn't doing enough or my way ot the highway. Compromise is important and not something to be overlooked and determining what is really important on you list. I had 3, children all with 2 years of age each other and routines, and determining what needs to be done now, and what can wait or broken into parts . Generally not the greatest idea to look for people on the internet give advice on the internet. We aren't in your home and don't know nor does the world need to know your business. Plus we con subconsciously be looking for validation for false and POSSIBLY over extreme feelings that aren't logical.
I completely agree with groovy. Choosing your time wisely, not jumping to extreme conclusions (and learning how to help him not do that, or to self correct if he did that), and just really talking about how you feel about things in a non-threatening way can be eye-opening. I've been married for 38 years and while I think both the psych profession and the nursing profession has gone downhill, I really appreciate what I learned about dealing with people. expect the best, treat them as if they have the best intentions in the world, but don't take garbage when it is dished out. Make a note of it, and figure out another way to approach the situation if you aren't skilled enough to deal with it in the moment.
talking about how each of you were raised so differently, and a very non-threatening way, and not while you're trying to gain his help or cooperation, can start laying the foundation for him to understand that there are more ways of looking at your relationship than what he currently has in his brain. One of my favorite takeaways from my education is that I never assume that other people do or should understand me.
I see it as my job to communicate clearly in a way that the other person is willing to listen. most people are very receptive to this, even if it can get uncomfortable at times.
my husband and I had quite a few differing opinions about child rearing. Looking back, he was absolutely right about some things whereas I was thinking that what I've been taught in school I was right, lol. But not every idea I had was wrong - and I remember planting the seeds very early just by sharing information that I found interesting. It wasn't intentional, but I was so interested in this idea that I was reading a lot of books about it and telling him about statistics and history and reasons pros cons etc. and when the time came for that decision to be made I didn't even have to ask him if we could do it. He just said that he has zoomed that we were going to do that… Even though it was completely outside of his life experience. Don't underestimate the value of being interested and entertaining as a way to set the stage for communication. It lets your partner process the information without feeling like he's being told what to do, or how to think. Hope some of this is helpful!
❤🙏 maybe make a family to do list and at the top make a 1-10 scale for each person to circle of how tired they are. Have a family pow-wow and pick the three most important things to each person and set a timer and go get them done. (I know that’s not always realistic but maybe will help with his perception that it’s all stuff you want to do and he’s the only one who is super tired.) it’s a start 🤷♀️
Praying for you guys.
@@bygraceonly182 - That's a beautiful idea.
I just love your channel. I love listening to your videos while I'm getting ready for the day. It gets me all hyped-up to homeschool and manage the house!
❤️❤️❤️ Mom of a 3 year old and 1 year old. One of the BEST tips of advice I was ever given as a mother was "don't waste time folding kids clothes. They're just going to unfold them after they dig for the shirt they want anyway." Literally saved me so so so much work and guilt.
Totally agree, my lads know when mama bear stressed and my eldest will say to dad, mammy needs a hand I think....lol the g strings why would you bother folding 😂
Angela I have to tell you I love these straight talks at us. Thank you ❤❤
The Lisa Frank reference 🤣😭
I play 10 minutes of tv and pause and tell the kids to clean for 5-10 minutes… then we watch again!
I love that you're a mother not a martyr. I have taken an awful lot on myself and quite frankly its too much and my daughter does nothing unless I have a tizzy fit. I work, I volunteer to help distribute surplus food, I have been sorting our house to sell. I've started writing my husband a list he can choose what jobs to do from and that works better. I've found that if I ask him to do something no matter how small he won't do it and will say he forgot. Despite me repeatedly reminding him. He had several days off while I was at work so I wrote him a list to choose from of jobs I know he can do (I didn't ask him to sew the curtains for example I did that around work). He did several things while I was at work. We have so much to do to get the house ready to sell so it really needs to be all hands on deck.
having a fit basically teaches your kids that they don't have to do anything until you have a fit. Peacefully establishing boundaries with logical consequences (natural or otherwise) is a lot less wear and tear on the parent child relationship. that said, making chores a cheerful and matter-of-fact affair can help take the rebellion out of it, along with making a fun plan for after the chores are done. It's not really buying obedience, but rather creating positive feelings and memories around doing chores.
You are one of my favorite people! Thank you for the reminder at the end about us moms. It brought tears to my eyes and I really needed to hear it, so thank you so much!! ❤
I so agree. Ive been doing laundry M-F, everyone gets a day, and Friday is for sheets and towels. Its one system thats been tried and true in my home. I stopped feeling overwhelmed by laundry.
The panty folding story killed me! I had a friend who used to do that AND hand her bras up on hangers! Lol mine are lucky if they get thrown into a drawer😂
Your comment makes me want to hang up my bras.😂 I hang up a lot of my clothing after I wash it, usually after a couple of minutes of tumbling on cold air or warm air if it tends to wrinkle without that. I make sure the shoulder seams are the right place on the velvet hangers so that I don't get those little nipples on my shoulders. A table fan blows it dry and I don't have to Think about getting back upstairs to the dryer to make sure I get things out before they wrinkle.
Seems to me that if I just hang up the bras on the velvet hangers immediately, instead of letting them dry on the pull out rack, and fold them later before I put them away… It might be Faster that way. There's no seam to match, No time wasted digging for the right bra for the right top.
I "fold" all the underwear. They're really just folded into thirds then rolled. But, we have bins for the undies and we can fit more in there when they're rolled. We don't have a lot of space for clothing storage, so I have to find ways to fit everything in its place.
@@smania7575 - I adore folding underwear… Because it’s my TV indulgence time! Short and sweet. It makes me wish there was more underwear to fold. 🤣🤣🤣
@@bitrudder3792 I usually watch TV while folding clothes too. It makes it seem like less of a chore. Lol
When my children were at the age that they were starting to help atound the house, i discovered that i could have things exactly where i wanted them and no help or things in the general area of where they belonged and have help around the house.
16:00 I often get the most done when I don’t make to-do lists. 😄 Just get to work!
Haha I walk around singing “Every Light in the House is on” while turning off lights all the time!
I am all for people being individuals and having their own style but seriously, Trashing Dawn minimal mom pissed me off! I love her she is so sweet. I enjoy her videos. I dont follow everything she says because it may not be a fit for me i have no desire to be her or anyone other than myself.. i will finish this video maybe ill cool off. I just hate trash talk in general but a kind sweet person. Idk right now i wanna say this beach can co to Helsinki
I just started watching older videos ( buying and selling your home) and just love them ❤ it’s so relaxing to listen to your videos.
Thank you for doing this video, I really needed it 😊
That part on list making really hit home! It’s true for me, the list making is fun, but the actual doing things is the hard part! 😬
I appreciate you being so real. Thank you for this video ❤️
Haha, your Dad is my Mum😅 about the trying to do two things "well" at the same time AND the all lights in the house being on 😂😂 so funny, you brought up memories 😂
I still fold the kids clothing, but we don't have that many. I stopped folding everyones underwear tho. And I only iron about two pieces each. I only have two kids. When I have SO many things to do, I start a new project and push everything aside🙈 usually elaborate baking. Makes me feel like I achieved something. And so I justify not achieving anything at all😬😬😬😬
13:27 I have such a type A personality that I could never bring myself to NOT fold laundry, BUT I’ve been folding little clothes for at least 25 years (I have 7 younger siblings and I’ve been a nanny for 11 years) and my mom taught me good, neat methods and I can fold a large load of little clothes into neat piles in about 5-10 minutes and put them all away in just a couple minutes. Lol, I have given up on fixing their little piles in their drawers every time I put laundry away. If they mess up it, fine! I’ll tidy it every couple months if I have the time or I’ll catch it the next time they need a new season or size of clothing.
I practice more so flexible time blocking and that has really helped me as a Sahm/ wahm/ homeschooling mom
Great video. Thank you Angela! Love that feeling of sitting and having coffee with you whilst you set the record straight. 😂❤️
Completely agree about the context switching. There are studies about how insanely long it takes your mind to get back to the initial topic/project.
I love your videos. Excellent points delivered humorously. Thank you
Oh my goodness you are relatable and hilarious I laughed so much in this video I just love your personality, your such a warm light and beautiful soul! Thank you for all the great tips
It’s like you are in my brain Angela, just love your videos. Just when l think they can’t get any better you out do yourself again ❤ you look fantastic btw!
Yes! You are so right! Luckly my husband is so good at dishes, cleaning & cooking! Btw your hair looks amazing!
Love your makeup and Lipstick! Looks great on you!!!
Wow what am amazing pep talk. I wish I'd heard it or thought about these things earlier in my life. Thank you
Good advice.
This is genius. Thank you so much for this. So helpful.
Multi-tasking is a myth!
I agree! Also causes brain damage 😵💫
I love your hair in this video! You look so beautiful!
I don't know, I don't quite get the "doom scrolling" thing, personally. It's not like I can't waste time on my phone, but I usually leave feeling uplifted and inspired, not depressed or anxious!
Such a great video! So many of the traits described me!😂
The end had me 😭. Very good advice that hit home for me! The lists are going to be my forever battle 😂
This is one of your very best encouragement to women. Thank you!
12:48 Dang, called out 😂 🦄
Great tips and LOVE the Jordan The Stallion reference! 😂❤
You’ve got me laughing out loud with this video today!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Good gracious! I needed this video today!
Also… *cluck,cluck,cluck* “There’s a chicken…” hahaha! 🐓
For the brain dump, I put things in my phone calendar as soon as I think about it so if it's a to do or event, I have a day when I need to do it by
This is one of my favorite videos ❤️ thank you. I have been struggling and feel like I’m drowning. All the tips & tricks help.
You've got this! As I always say - it helps to lower your expectations 😉
Your videos feel like a few minutes of therapy ngl❤️ I’ve been binging them the past few days and they’ve made me so happy🫶
Aww, thank you - that warms my heart to hear :)
I totally agree with you ...she's the best !! 🤎
I agree that kids should have chores and responsibilities. I tell my kids my job as a parent is not to do for them but to teach them to do for themselves, it only helps prepare them for adulthood.
I love the apron your wearing in the thumbnail.
Lisa Frank!! Yessss lol good times
Yes girl! I miss those notebooks and folders.
I'm an afterschool teacher too, so yep home from home 😊
Having the kids help is fantastic! Even if it’s usually just them picking up after their own things, that’s a huge time-saver for you.
having the kids help also sets them up for success in the future. They don't land at the door of adulthood With no skills in managing the every day stuff of life. They are going to have a lot to learn, and it's best not to have to learn basic life skills at the same time.
Finally!!!! Someone that speaks real life scenarios haha . Love it ❤️
Hi Angela, this is a really good video.
Why have you stopped making videos about adoption? I believe you still have more to present, like, THE talk with your children, sure they asked you once why they look different from you? How do you explain it to them? And the twins who look like you and would not probably think of asking this question, how do you plan on explaining this to them? Would be great if you made something about that, how to explain adoption and tackle the many questions that your child might have.
Mkay, but can I please just get a direct link to that gorgeous green apron, pretty please?!?
This mama is so happy to see Angie making sourdough for her babies! Everyone should know how to make sourdough. It's an art ❤
Omg your short hair 😍😍😍 With your Diamond faceshape its french kiss 😍 Then your long hair in a bun 😍😍🫶🏻
Wait, you wash your couch cushion covers? 😮🤯
My time saver is to cover my sofas with blankets (I have pets). They come off when guests come over. They're cheap & wash easy on the 30 min cycle.♥️🇨🇦
@ Angela Braniff
Can you do an episode of your clothes style, especially using skirts? I love your style...including your accessories. ❤ Thanks so much!
I’m trying to get my closest friend to stop folding her kids’ clothes! 😂 it’s the best! I still struggle to put it all away for my ONE baby even though I don’t fold his stuff 😅
Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. Know who you are and who you are not.❤
Regarding having the kids help around the house, this is a MUST!! Not only does it help you, it also teaches them not only how to do things, but also teaches them consequences and so many kids are missing that now!! This is why we have so many problem teenagers, because they haven't learned that their actions have consequences when they were younger and they have an attitude of entitlement because they have never had to work for anything. Kids need to learn from a young age that they are expected to help and work for things they want, and that actions have consequences. So many parents do too much for them and that actually hurts them in the long run. If they have to help clear and wash the dinner dishes at a young age, it becomes a habit, helps teach them responsibility and that everyone needs to do their part, both at home and later life. It's an important lesson many kids are not getting and should!! We all have to do our part, and it is easier for kids to learn this young and a little at a time, in order to be successful adults than to have it suddenly thrown at them as an adult!! Let them learn and make mistakes when they are small to avoid the big mistakes later!!
Side note: that shirt looks so good on you.
The list thing gone for me too, I have in my brain....no wonder can't sleep😅
Lips stick on a pig! I finely found the translation to a Spanish saying with the same meaning!
Let us know when you figure out how to work out the “shuffle”. I didn’t realize I do the same thing!! 😂
Yup, silly me thought it would get easier as they got older. Instead my backlog of things I want to get done has only grown
I don’t see the link for the meal planning video.
I wish I would have started chores earlier with my child.
“Doll clothing” 😂
I feel very attacked about the to do list I thought just the act of writing it down would make it happen lol ! I am so guilty of this.🙈
LOL no, it doesn't get easier as they get older, it just different, then they grow up and you start with grandkids 😁!! Wanna know how to do something easier? Ask a Grandma, experience does teach you a lot!! It is nice that we can share our ideas and knowledge/skills so easily now, we shared before but now you can ask and share ideas with so many more people and learn how to do almost anything online now, so it's so much easier to find the info you want/need!
Okay, so I need the third step to getting out of a slump, or the podcast name. Please 😊
I gave up folding underwear and matching socks a long time ago.
Wait, people do that? Haha
💚
Not you attacking my to do lists and organizing containers! 😅
Time stamps, please!
❤
US wish we had thrive in canada. We sure do get ripped off on the good brands...

Maybe instead looking at yourself and saying I love you, but say Jesus loves you. I would feel more comfortable saying that to myself lol.
Another option is giving yourself a high 5 when looking in the mirror. It helps me. It’s a tip by Mel Robbins. It helps to do it after you finish cleaning or working out etc.
Yes!!! Good point!!
You're allowed to give yourself your own love, he'd want you to.
When saying to myself "I love you" I find my brain automatically thinks of all the things I actually DONT love about myself lmao.
What works better is simply reminding myself what I prefer or enjoy about myself! "I love you" feels meh but when I say "I think you did a good job on the dishes. You almost left that one but you looked at it, thought 'ugh fine' and you did it. Good job I like that."
Works much better for me! Hope it helps ❤
YAY aging 😂
I wouldn’t feel comfortable saying “I love you” to myself in the mirror. Maybe “Jesus loves you”? That seems a bit more Biblical.
I may be explore why you don’t feel comfortable saying you love yourself, and Jesus would not be offensive in that
@@TheLizzyMorrisI wouldn’t feel comfortable saying “I love you” to myself because I think self love is a lie that can lead to a reliance on self rather than on God and takes us out of a place of humility into a place of self focus that can be destructive. The Bible warns against it. And I spent my first 30 years believing that loving myself would lead to greater peace but it actually doesn’t. Lasting peace comes from looking to Jesus and in recognizing I was made to serve and worship God, not self. ❤
It is such a shame that the economy under this regime is creating more “back to work moms,” who should be home mnaging their family business. Please think about the fact that we are living on $12k less $$ a year MINIMUM… and to recoup that, you need to make at least $20k more because -taxes.
If you want to bethe ine to actually raise your own kids, think hard about voting in November- its OK to recognize that you are an #AWFL (Affluent White Female Liberal) & you recognize that you are a victim of #BlobProgramming (do you ever notice that the news doesn’t match what you see and feel in real life? That might mean that you are semi aware that you are being programmed)… look, if that’s the case, it’s OK to sit this one out and just not vote. Unless you understand true economics, and you are not a viewer of Legacy media, perhaps sit this one out. Thanks!
