How to Do Quick Chores Your Parents Will Appreciate

Doing additional chores is a great way to show your parents that you are willing to help out.
Try doing a few odd jobs now and then for no reason – just to show your mom you appreciate all she does for you.

1) …………………………………….
These tend to get dirty and dusty, and you don't really notice it until you are trying to watch a show.
It's a lot easier to see the dusty and dirty spots if you turn the TV off first.
You might want to wipe off remotes and game controllers too, while you are at it.

Shake off the welcome mat. These tend to get pretty dirty, pretty quick. This only takes a minute,
and your mom or dad will certainly notice that it's clean the next time they come through the door.
Shake all the dust and dirt off the mat into the yard, or onto the sidewalk.
Take a broom, and quickly sweep the area under and around the mat.

2)……………………………………Ask your mom or dad if they will teach you how and when to water the plants,
and then try to take care of this yourself. It only takes a couple of minutes,
and your parents will appreciate not having to think about it.
Always ask a parent to show you which plants to water, how often,
and how much water they need. Every plant is different.
You'll need to go through the house once or twice per week and do several plants at once.
If you agree to take on this task, be sure not to forget or your plants will die.

Collect all the trash and take it out. Your house probably has little wastepaper baskets in every room – bedrooms,
bathrooms, etc. Carry a garbage bag with you, and empty the contents of each trashcan into the bag.
Then take the bag outside to the trash can. If you do this every couple of days,
your parents will definitely notice that the trashcans are always nice and clean.

3)………………………………………Hand towels often get overlooked on laundry day,
and can wind up hanging in the bathroom for long periods of time.
Collect all the dirty hand towels in your bathrooms, and replace them with clean ones.
The room will look fresher, instantly.

Clean all the mirrors. When these are freshly cleaned, it is very noticeable.
Your mom will love you for thinking to do this. It only takes a few minutes to do each,
so you can run around the whole house and do them at once.
All you do it wipe the glass thoroughly with a paper towel and spray glass cleaner.
