Children aren’t the only ones in the family who can be busy. Many
grownups work full time, on top of doing the housework, childcare,
and more. In one study, 31 percent of parents said they feel rushed
at all times. As a result, family time can be rare and precious. We
should make the most of it. Wouldn’t it be better to spend these
moments enjoying one another’s company than arguing about
folding clothes? I would suggest closing the bedroom door and
walking away. Then, as a family, play a game, take a hike, or watch
a movie. Don’t pass up a chance to have a good time with the most
important people in your life. The mess can wait.

Some people say that having children clean their rooms teaches
them important skills. These include such things as picking up after
oneself and keeping things in order. These are certainly worthwhile
lessons that will serve children well as they grow older. But they
can be learned in other ways. For example, children can learn to
mop up their own messes.
