Sadly I know of too many parents who feel this way about their children because they are doing too much, and sometimes everything, for their children and partners as well.
One such lady I know has been struggling with being the maid for years and years and I had the privilege of staying at her house for a weekend and helping her implement a household routine that would free her from the hassle of never ending daily chores.
This lady has always been driven by a strong pride to upkeep her house to a certain standard, while also believing she shouldn't be putting any extra work load onto her children because their lives are already hectic and busy, and they're overwhelmed enough. She has forgotten completely that it is NOT her role to be the maid and that she is also overwhelmed and needs the others in her house to help so that she is NOT doing it ALL alone. Especially when she is not the one creating the most of the mess.
But... she had no idea what organising roles would or should look like. This is where I stepped in to help.
STEP ONE:
Write down a list of all the jobs that need doing around the house.
