Two years ago I talked to the principal at the public elementary school. She had homeschooled her children for a time when they were small. She decided to enroll them in public school when her daughter was excited to change the bedsheets. She decided her children needed something more.
This morning my daughters are washing their dolls' clothes and hanging them on the line to dry. They are working together and using their servant hearts. I couldn't be happier!
For God is not a God of disorder but of peace (1Cor 14:33). When your kids are doing their chores with joy in their hearts--that's God!! If they are complaining and arguing about it, that's the enemy. It is not "normal", and definitely shouldn't be accepted, when children complain about their duties. The Bible also tells us to "do all things without arguing and complaining" (Phil 2:14). The world likes to say "kids will be kids". If you read God's Word, He has alot to say about character--and none of it looks like what the world promotes as acceptable.
You would be surprised what small children are capable and eager to do, if given the opportunity. Quit something that has no eternal value and spend some time teaching your children things that matter in God's eyes. You won't be sorry.
