Why My Children Have Chores

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hefty® Ultra Strong™ trash bags. All opinions are my own and yours may vary.

As a mom to three children it is imperative that my husband and I set a good example. As a teacher and police officer we are both considered upstanding members of our community and not only do I try to teach these values to my students in my classroom but we try to teach these core values to our children as well. I strongly believe this comes with giving them a sense of responsibility and chores at an early age.

I love that Hefty® is celebrating strong moms that tackle strong messes on a daily basis, and it is my hope that I embody this Ultra Strong™ message that they are sharing.

Our children participate in the running of our household from making their beds to taking out the garbage and more. There are some families that use a chore chart but we find that giving them each a clear task to follow keeps them involved. Our five-year-old makes a bed like nobody’s business while our teen can clear the trash in under 5 minutes. While I won’t say they love having these chores I do feel like it is helping with their self-confidence and their contributions to our home. It is my hope that these skills follow them into school and beyond. My teen is a compassionate young man that truly will help others in need – he volunteers 20 + hours a week at a local zoo as a counselor and I know that he is bringing what he learned in our home into his work.

We use Hefty® Ultra Strong™ trash bags in our home because it has a 100% satisfaction guarantee which means it can handle all your garbage needs or your money back. Seriously with this family of five that is quite the task! I don’t have to worry about the bags falling inside of the can with its break resistant grip drawstring and that to me is worth every penny. Plus with all of that ultra-strength, there’s also ultra-savings.

Have you seen the garbage that three kids can produce? It is not a pretty sight so I love how strong Hefty® Ultra Strong™ trash bags are with active tear resistant technology, which helps with tears. Plus, if you love scent with your garbage bags, they have several different options with Clean Burst™, Tropical Paradise™, Lavender & Sweet Vanilla™, White Pine Breeze™, Crisp Orchard Apple™, Citrus Twist™, Pomegranate Mist™ and Scent Free. So there really is something for everyone.

I really cannot say enough about Hefty® products. They really make our lives easier every day. I hope that we are teaching our children to be upstanding members of the community. As a teacher, I have strong classroom management skills set in place for my students to strive as well. Being a teacher is hard work but the ability to help and shape a young life is priceless.
