    I'm actually surprised. We always did almost all of that every day. Every time anyone took a bath or shower, they had to clean the tub with Comet. We swept several times a day, mopped and waxed every day. We had to empty out the closets and cabinets, clean them thoroughly along with everything that was in them before putting it all back, on a rotating basis; closets one day, cabinets the next, but every day. We defrosted, emptied, and cleaned out the refrigerator once a week. Baseboards, windows, including frames, and mirrors were cleaned every day. Furniture was dusted and polished every day. We cleaned the oven once a week, and all throw rugs and bed linens were washed every week. Clothes were washed, ironed and put away every day. I always thought this was all just what everybody did.

Tegenwoordig merk ik dat God gewoon wel genade met mij heeft en van mij houdt zoals ik ben. Als er overal draadjes liggen en lapjes stof omdat ik aan het naaien ben....geniet ik er nu gewoon van. Ik wil af van het 'stemmetje' van vroeger dat ik nooit een nette huisvrouw zal worden.
    We zijn goed genoeg en geliefd.

    When you were leaving, did you ever contemplate leaving the amish religion but continuing to live the amish culture? I don't blame you for leaving their religion but I think their culture is to be commended. It just seems to me the English culture hasn't done as good of job in teaching kids how to work and be responsible.

      It depends on the generation. When I was a kid we worked hard. We cooked, cleaned, done laundry, hauled wood, garden work, canned, processed our chickens, canned pork, my mom sometimes made clothes. It was a hard life. We taught our kid the same and she has college degrees and still cans, etc. It depends on their upbringing. We are also Christian. Have a great day.

    WoW, I grow up more rigorously than most Amish. My mom clean the fridge weekly. We deep clean half of our home one week and the other half the other week. We had a small house for a large family, so if we didn't clean it got dirty quickly. The stove daily was clean sometimes twice. Dishes 5 times a day. We wash the trash cans weekly.
    Here are my home we clean the toilet about 5 to 8 times a day. The person who poops cleans it to keep it clean for whoever uses it next. The trash can gets washed once or twice a month.

      @@lifethroughhereyes3958 so you think that the floor is cleaner than the inside of your toilet rim???
      I find it extremely irritating how few people actually care to understand the concept of cross contamination...
      Fun fact: it isn't only(or even primarily) about the level of dirtiness nearly as much as it is about the type of "dirt" being cleaned(or the more common cases of these germs not actually being cleaned, but rather spread around ).
      While a lot of bacteria can & will "die off" after a certain amount of time and especially in certain environments(such as in direct sunlight), that isn't really the case for fecal bacteria aka shit germs.
      nothing that you use to clean the inside of your toilet should ever then be used to clean ANYTHING ELSE directly afterwards- even the outside of the toilet!!!
      and people either need to use disposable paper towels/toilet brushes or keep those items cleaned also so they aren't dripping shit water all over the floor...
      i go back and forth between paper towels and specific rags that are designated for the bathroom only... what is disposable gets tossed out and what is washable gets washed 2/3 times with the hottest water that i can possibly use.... but this thing of people using the same rag to clean the shit splashes inside the toilet rim and THEN the flooring is unnecessary and disgusting.
      AAAAANYWAYS, this has inspired me to discontinue the action of removing my shoes when i go to people's houses in an attempt to be polite. if they specifically ask me to, i surely will... but i'm no longer going to volunteer for this new Dysentery-Chloera hybrid that y'all been brewing up in your homes...🤣🤣

(They use E bikes, instead) I kind of don't get what the difference is, between them and Mennonites, at that point. You should do a video on that, if you know about it. I thought that Mennonites were pretty much the same as Amish, except that they allow modern technology. But then there are these fringe Amish groups that actually allow technology, and also old order Mennonite groups who don't allow any at all. So what is the actual difference between the two groups?

      I was demonstrating how I was taught in the Amish.
      I don't clean that way anymore. I have learned a TON since leaving the Amish.

    The Amish are not saved. They don’t want their people to read the Bible!!! They want them kept in spiritual darkness. If one starts to read the Bible, for themselves, then they leave The Amish. The Amish believe hairpins worn the wrong way, and such, are sin. They are the blind leading the blind. “Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No man cometh unto the father, but by him.” Hairpins do not recommend you to God. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”Romans 3:23. Repent and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ. Whitewashed tombs are still tombs. John the Baptist…the Baptist….the Baptist. Jesus started the true Baptist church, only. Church membership does not save, though. But, it’s a command to regularly assemble, though, in a true Baptist church.

      That is the reason I left because of their religious beliefs.

      Get a hold of yourself, the Catholics also thought it was unimportant for people to read the bible and most people back in the day couldn't read. Were those people not saved? How can you be prideful enough to assume that only your church interprets God's will correctly and no one else's does? Who made you the boss of who is and isn't saved? How can you presume to speak for God? Find some humility, sis.
