doing chores at home

I grew up in my household learning to do chores at a very young age. I mean I knew how to fry an egg (basically cook my lunch) when I was in Primary 1, fill my own water bottle, take the school bus to school. Yeah, my family didn't have the luxury of employing help and my mum was working. So independence started real early for me.... My mother insisted on us doing our own housework, ironing our clothes, hanging the clothes, washing our own undergarments, I swept and mopped the floor. Yes I was no princess at home hahhaha.

But you see these training were great for me, I was considered a women with substance as I knew how to do housework. I was no dainty girl... I was able to fend myself when time requires. Then came the time I became a mother, my daughter has a helper, a doting grandmother, a careful grandfather, a daddy's girl. Damn, I can't stand her all pampered... Not to say we are getting another helper, which means she has 2 aunties at her beck and call. *danger

So I instructed the family to give her independence, she has to do things herself. Then this started..... she started helping with folding her dresses and panties... who better to learn from then the expert in clothes folding Aunty Nita!!!
