A BUSY WEEKEND OF THE BERNARD FAMILY

This weekend probably will be the worst and the most tiring of all. We’ve been so busy for the last two weeks that we even haven’t eaten dinner as a family all together. My wife, Laura, has a seminar upstate, so she had been getting ready for it and this Friday she will be home back. I have worked overtime almost every day. My teenage son, Jack and daughter, Lily had been preparing for the exam week. The house is in a mess. If we don’t do all the chores together, no one will be able to finish cleaning alone in time. So, we all will share responsibilities. The kids will have to tidy up their bedrooms and change their beddings. I for myself will vacuum the carpets, clean the windows, and I mustn’t forget to water all the plants. I have to change the cat’s litter, too. Poor CoCo! My wife will clean the kitchen, cook dinner, and do the laundry. I like ironing the clothes so I will do it. She will hang out the clean clothes, and fold the dried ones. I will take out the garbage as I do every day. My daughter always helps her mum dusting the shelves. I suppose she will do it again. Also, my son likes mopping the floors. I think he will do it, too. We have a little backyard. I will mow the lawn and sweep the pathways. My son will help me as always. We always share the household chores. Every day we all have some responsibilities. Our children are aware of their responsibilities and they carry out what they should do. They make their beds every morning before they leave for school and they help setting the table. If Laura does the cooking, I always wash the dishes and our children always help setting the table. We are a family living in the same house, so my wife is not the only person responsible for the household chores. We should all pitch in together.
