my household duties

i think nobody likes it when his house is in a mess. doing household chores and keeping the house clean and cozy are necessary in every flat.

my parents work hard and they get rather tired after work. so it goes without saying that they don’t have to manage all the housework and i have to help them. everyone in our family has some household chores. but frankly speaking i must admit that my mother does the majority of the housework. some things must be done every day, others need to be done once or twice a week (like watering the plants).

my daily chores are making my bed, washing up, tidying my room in the evening, cleaning my shoes and taking out the rubbish. this is my usual routine. i also pick up my little sister from the kindergarten. fortunately i don’t have to cook any food because my mum and granny do that and they really enjoy cooking. i just sometimes help them and serve the table. once or twice a week my mother asks me to go shopping to the nearest food supermarket. i usually buy some bread, milk, fruits and vegetables.

once a week, on sundays my parents give the flat a big cleaning. there is a lot of work to do: dusting the furniture, ironing the clothes, mopping the floor, clearing out the bathroom and the kitchen. i am busy with vacuum-cleaning the carpets in our bedrooms and cleaning the mirrors. 

i don’t consider my household chores difficult and i can cope with them easily, but sometimes i feel a bit lazy or i may be too busy with my school homework.
