My oldest daughter loves being with me in the kitchen and being with my while I crochet and do other things. I try to do different crafts with her that she can actually do and let her help as much as she can in the kitchen and with other household tasks, but do you have any other specific suggestions of things I could do with her to cultivate the love for home in her?

My mother was a person who did not like to have other people around when she cooked or did household tasks. She would usually have me take my younger sister outdoors so that she could clean uninterruptedly. I can never remember doing household things WITH her and I was woefully unprepared to take care of a home when I got married. I had only ever made my bed, set the table, done dishes, polished the furniture and ironed - that's it ! I had never cooked a meal, done a load of wash, grocery shopped, cleaned a bathroom or kitchen ...the list could go on and on.<BR/>I tried to better prepare my daughters to care for a household but you can't thoroughly teach what you don't know very well yourself. I did try to teach them what I had learned up to that point and they were better prepared than I was when they married. I am not naturally an organized person so it took me many years of struggle before I learned the skills that I needed, often from library books as I had no older woman to mentor me. I beg you young moms who are now raising children to prepare them for life. It would have saved me much heartache and friction with my young husband and I wouldn't have felt like such a failure in this area if I had been taught what I needed to know. I am a reasonably good housekeeper now but it was a long, slow, uphill climb for me. As parents, we need to teach our children what they need to know to function as competent adults.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/><BR/>Mary L.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-75983078730853126332008-10-13T18:58:00.000-05:002008-10-13T18:58:00.000-05:00This is right where my heart is with my daughter.....This is right where my heart is with my daughter........I just hope that I am not to late.

I have been think a lot about this lately, how I want to be a JOYFUL homemaker so that my daughter will want to be one and my son will want to marry one. I realize that I can't just be in sweats and no makeup all day. I need to be talking with my children about God's plan for men and women, etc. Thank you for the advice about the Amish readers, I need to get some. I can't wait for part 2! :)Sarah Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15079648125245754566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1984956841131982891.post-71949704618463273802008-10-12T16:17:00.000-05:002008-10-12T16:17:00.000-05:00What a beautiful blog!
