* If you need to finish something off at work, but your Kids want to go to the park, make a deal with then and say if you do some jobs outside then I will take you to the park.  *The children are stuck to the play station like glue. Start up a conversation so they can just look away for a minute. Mum says ‘come off the play station darling help me with dinner’. If they say no, say no pocket money for a week if you don’t help with dinner.       .  
 * The little darling children won’t eat their vegetables and you have tried the ‘trick’ of saying your hair will go curly or it helps you see in the dark. But they still don’t. Use reverse psychology, and say just go ahead, eat the whole packet of biscuits. Guilt always works.
 * You should make a set plan for doing certain jobs around the house like mowing the lawns, making dinner, cleaning the pool and folding washing etc.
 * Plan the menu for dinner ahead, so when you get home from a long day at won’t have brain strain trying to figure out what you are going to make. This will mean that you can take less time on cooking dinner and can spend more time with your little angels.
 * Do jobs like folding the washing etc in front of the T.V.
 * Alternate doing dishes every two days, change with your brother and sister.
 * Take turns looking after the kids because that means that you get quality time with them
 * If every one in the house contributes to cleaning it means that Mum won’t be as stressed.
 * Don’t fight in front of the kids! Kids look up to their adults and when they grow older they will take after their mum and dad.
