I'm just curious and nosy about what other people do, especially things that may have gotten passed down from Mom.
1. When or how often do you do laundry? What laundry detergent do you use?
2. How often do you vacuum? How often do you clean the bathroom? How often do you run the dishwasher?
3. What is your monthly grocery spending? Does it include household products? What is your monthly eating out spending (including fast food and sit down restaurants)?
4. How often do your dinners include meat? What is your favorite kind of bean?
5. What does a normal dinner include, as in, what side dishes do you have?
6. What do you feed your kids for lunch?
7. How many hours of screen time do your kids have in a normal day?
8. What discipline methods do you use?
9. How often do you bathe your kids?
10. What should we name our baby? I'm desperate.
Here are my answers:
1. Mondays I wash all our clothes. I do a load or two of towels/rags/Owen's wet underwear through the week. Tide.
2. I vacuum about every other day. In our old house, it was like once a week. I clean the toilet about eevery other day, I clean the rest of it about once a week, sometimes less. We run the dishwasher every 3 daysish.
3. $275. Vermillion is a lot more expensive than Provo. I recently made a different budget category for household products. It's expensive. Our eat out budget is $30/month.
4. 3-4 dinners with meat, 3-4 dinners with no meat. 1. Lentils. 2 Black beans. 3 Cannelinni
5. Usually just a main dish and a salad or steamed vegetable side. Sometimes bread/rolls so Owen can eat something.
6. Sandwiches, quesadillas, chicken nuggets, hot dogs. cracker and cheese. Always with fruit and or carrots
7. 2
8. Time-outs, loss of toy, loss of tv time (punishment for me too)
9. 3 times a week, although I'm considering more.
10. My top choices have all been vetoed.
