Despite setting up a chore system, a working mother of four finds her house in disarray upon returning from work. She and her husband, both employed full-time, struggle to maintain order with their 13-year-old twins, a 12-year-old, and an 8-month-old.
“I’ve tried everything,” she laments, “but the effort only lasts a week or so before things go back to chaos.” Despite her husband having weekends off, the burden largely falls on her shoulders.

The article sheds light on the challenges faced by working parents in balancing household responsibilities and underscores the importance of cooperation in maintaining a harmonious home environment.
