EXTREME KITCHEN CLEAN// CLEANING MOTIVATION// LARGE FAMILY 

I was raised in a home with nine people my parents and 7 children. Every night one child washed the dishes and one dried the dishes and put them away. The other solution would be to use paper plates.

I'm one of 8 children I'm 64 in the UK, I'm number 7 we didn't have many things as children because we couldn't afford it, back then the only time you went into your bedroom was to sleep and our houses aren't as big as yours in the USA, plus our mum was a very tidy person plus working part time, I'm the same I cannot cope with mess and clutter every inch of my home gets decluttered as soon as I see I don't want or need something, I always have a charity bag/box on the go, but I LOVE to de clutter !! I would do people's homes but I'm not fit enough now. Great job ladies. 💐

I raised 4 kids. We did what we called Quick clean. Each child was assigned a chore and we set a timer. Our kichen chores were clear the tables and counters, sweep the floor, put food away, load and unload dishes and runner who put things that didn't belong where they belonged. I did dishes while the others worked on their chore. We only had 15 minutes and some were finished even earlier. On Saturday morning we went around the house the same way. It usually finished the whole house in about a hour. Mostly I think that my kids became very efficient and not making messes picking up after themselves. My kids liked inviting friends to our house because they were proud of how it looked. They would often report to me about what their friends homes looked like. I told them that we don't judge but they can be thankful that that is not how we choose to live. As a retired teacher it makes me wonder what kind of homeschool is happening in that home. I know that I would spend 2 to 4 weeks at the beginning of the school year teaching routines and organization so my students could have a safe, clean and organized environment in which learning could happen.

You HAVE to teach the kiddos to help out. It makes things so much easier and even if they don’t do the task perfectly out to moms and dads standards, it’s done. The kiddos will feel so much pride that they were able to help out and it gives mom and dad the opportunity to praise their babies for a job well done. - Just my opinion, not judging at all. I’ve been here!!! The key that helped me was getting the kids involved. Love this content!!

Maybe next time have the mom take them on a homeschool field trip to the park while you’re there,even an hour or two would be great for you.

Family of 5 here and a homeschool family, at our house you get a set of dishes at breakfast, you clear off your food scraps off your plate or bowl into the trash after each meal, rinse if needed, and your dishes stay out at your destinated seat for the day. That means only 5 plates, 5 cups, 5 forks, and sometimes bowls usually less than 5, sometimes knives, pots, and pans are dirty each day. After dinner dishes go in the dishwasher. With this system we only have to run the dishwasher every other day when the load is full. I cannot imagine using a plate or cup once and then calling it dirty.

That is crazy!! I grew up in a family of 2 adults and 8 kids and that was not our reality. I hope they can continue to keep it in order after all your hard work. I think another intervention might be needed.Putting the lids on food and putting it away after using it would be a great place to start!

Love that y’all help people

I have now watched a couple of this family ,seens that they do not take a breath and reassess their processes, . As they home school consider this cleaning and organising part of the learning experience labelling so helps

I want to see it all! They need to massively downsize their inventory. I'd imagine that having that many kids would be like running the military,

Does the dishwasher work.

Raise your kids to put away what they get out and use.

The rectangle stools at the counter under the window are a perfect solution to a couple of kids having a quick meal,however,there should be be NOTHING on the counter,especially all of those big potted plants. The mom needs to come to terms with the season of life that she is in NOW,(when the kids leave home,she can fill that counter with plants.) which is feeding and caring for a lot of children. That’s the priority,let the other hopes and dreams go for now. The current situation is obviously not working.

Wow! Amazing effort and good result. Like the idea of appreciating open counter spaces! One thing which helped my cousins in their very crowded home was to insist on discrete tasks: what this means is one task needs to be completed or shelved and related items put away and area cleaned afterwards BEFORE something new can begin. Can be hard for the very youngest but doable if part of routine for 3 on up (how my family did this)... Also, fewer belongings and a simpler life. I realize this family likes to cook but is it practical to do often? Maybe make a baking day once a week with clean up being a part of it? I know it's not easy to change the habits but if nothing changes, nothing changes! - Great there is "homework" and things to think about.... Maybe Mom could plan some work in a list kind of way, with rotating and age-appropriate chores, posted large?-- As for my comment about which of the rooms to choose for next time to clean- why not ask the Mother which one will be most effective in her opinion? -- Wishing the Millers happy times and new ways to cope.-- Bye

Do all the rooms. They desperately need help.😊

Love what you guys do!!!! Love to watch it all!!!!!!

When you're alone, just change clothes and pretend to be both of you. 😂 (Kidding!)

Do the living room next,create a large family haven.

Wow that’s a lot of clutter. Great job.

I like what you doing I like it so far. How do you do more of it?

💖

👍

They clearly just need a family closet in the laundry room for kids' clothes. Look it up.

It's too bad only 1 of you was available because this house could use all hands on deck. Hopefully, the kids will be more involved with cleaning now that it's at a manageable level.

Esa situación no es de un día ni de una semana😮 pero si trabajan todos juntos pueden lograrlo.

They need a new broom, poor things@

Yikes!

I understand cleaning their house will provide you with a lot of content but I don't think their house is redeemable.

What a mess. Control your children and give them consequences for making messes. Teach them that if you get it out then “YOU” put it back or you loose privileges. Not to criticize you but you aren’t taking care of house chores. This didn’t get in this mess overnight.

Desculpem a sinceridade isso não é limpar nen organuzar isso é ser preguisosi e gostar de viver no meio do lixo nunca vi ninguém fazer limpeza com toalhetes 😢

Why don't every one help you you are mental health lady 😂😂😂😂😂😂
