HER HOME & HEART / Simplifying Routines for Overwhelmed Christian Homeschool Moms Seeking Peace and Joy

“I Feel Like I'm the Only One Doing Everything”: Reset Your Chore System So the Kids Actually Help // 317


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like you’re the only one doing everything—again?
You’ve even tried chore charts. You’ve talked, asked, begged.
But somehow… the crumbs are still there. The socks multiply. And no one else seems to notice.

I’ve been there too. And I want to gently walk with you through this.

In this episode of Her Home and Heart, I’ll share:

A vulnerable moment when I felt unseen after years of trying to keep our home going

The two chore systems that truly helped us (after trying so many!)

How I used FlyLady’s gentle structure to reset our routines with grace

What happened when I fell ill and realized my kids had learned so much more than I thought

How you can start (or restart) a simple system that works—without becoming the nag or the martyr

This isn’t about doing it all.
It’s about doing it together.

Let’s release the guilt, quiet the resentment, and build a home where everyone plays a part—one step at a time.

With grace and practical help,
Katie

P.S. And if you need encouragement that chore training matters, I highly recommendthis article from The Atlantic.
