Do you have House Chores?

Salaamalikum,

This is a light hearted topic. For those who have brothers or sisters (or if you are a single child). Do you have responsibilities/chores you are expected to do around the house?

I wash the dishes, vacuum the house, clean the tables, take out the trash and my sister still complains about her chore about washing the bathrooms. What's up with that?

Salaam sweet brother,

Tell her in addition to the bathrooms your sister will be doing all the chores your do including: ironing, dusting, gardening, fixing things i.e plumbing. washing machines, changing light bubls, mowing the lawn, changing tires, fixing computers and making dinner. That is called motherhood.

I laughed out loud while reading your post.... You sure right sister, motherhood is more than a familial status it is an additional job which is really rewarding :)

Back to the topic :)

why dont you take turns?
Like one does the whole chores for today while the other does it the next day....So you each get a free day to yourselves no house chore at all...

I dont know about your sister but i'm most lazy when someone is helping me with chores i dont like it. That's why we take turns at home and it does wonders beleive me..so try inshallah there is always a room for improvement :)

sit down with your sister and work out a schedule.

Asalaamalikum,

This is the epitome of a sister/wife. These are very hard to find characteristics. Inshallah she will change. Maybe I should turn her to you so you can counsel her lol

We both tried to make a schedule but she has unrealistic goals. I know she wouldn't do my chores and I don't mind cleaning the bathrooms - so you see the dilemma - I would end up doing everything myself. I guess the first key to success is being honest to yourself!

When a girl is a teenager she has a lot on her mind. Let her be happy. She has the rest of her life to do housework...remember: a mans job is from son to son and a woman's work is never done.

Allhamdullah, I clean my bedroom, my cloths, vacuuming, paint the house if necessary, plumbing, clean the toilets, and cook whenever I am free. But when my sister is around she cooks instead of my mum, clean instead of me.
That way young family memebers realize the importance of family structure.

The Prophet In His House

The Apostle of God occupied himself at his home like a common man. As 'Aisha relates, he used to clean his clothes, milch the sheep and himself do his odd jobs. She also says that he would mend his clothes, repair his shoes and do similar other works. When asked how the Prophet occupied himself at home, she replied, "He used to keep himself busy in household chores and went out when the time for prayer came."

In another report related on her authority, she is reported to have said, "The Prophet of God used to repair his shoes, mend his clothes and occupied himself at home even as any of you occupy yourself." 'Aisha relates, "God's Messenger was very softhearted, the kindliest of all. He laughed often and smiled much." Anas says that he had not seen a man who was more clement and nice to his household members than the Apostle of God." It is related on the authority of 'Aisha that the Prophet said, "The best of you is one who is most nice to his wife and children and I am the nicest among you." Abu Huraira said that the Prophet never expressed disapproval of any food, if he desired he ate it, and if he disliked he left it alone."

I do give my kids chores to do, but as usual they do not like them. They do dishes, sweep the floor, and wipe the tables. It will prepare them to take care of their own home, and also teach them responsibility. If you dont do this, I feel kids will get too lazy.
