We have kids that can help out. Why am I cleaning up all their stuff? Why am I always taking their dishes to the sink?

And it honestly was me giving the control away to them to be like, you know what, they can actually help out too.

They can do more than I think.

I'm Amy. And I'm Abby.

And as women, we are constantly comparing ourselves to others.

But your life isn't supposed to look like hers.

Being your best self means standing firm in your decisions and always being willing to grow with a purpose. We get vulnerable and real with an honest look into the challenges and triumphs we all

face. Every woman listening gets the opportunity to choose what life looks like for herself.

Hi guys. We are excited for this episode today. It actually stemmed from a conversation that I had on Instagram with my followers. I should pull it up. But basically, I was telling people that the boys have really been expected to do more things for themselves. We've been working on this. You guys have been hearing me talk about it

for about two years or so. But we've really kicked it up a notch. A lot of you know we've moved

into a new house. And so that is a beautiful house that has a lot of storage and we're able to

keep her looking really nice with some good habits.

Now, what happened when I posted that online is it was a lot of positive reaction.

And the most common thing were moms that were like, okay, what ages did you start at?

And also like, how do I do this?

Like basically a lot of moms and dads know that their kids should do more and they want to get on that path. But it does feel hard to start a habit, especially if you haven't had one.

So we're going to use this episode to talk about the ways that we've done it, kind of both of our philosophies on it.

But I just want to say right from the beginning, we're both very committed to raising boys and a girl that they can really contribute to their households, to their communities, to society, and doing

things in your household to, because you're a part of a family, it does matter. And it does

matter when you send these kids out in the world that they're able to do things. So we both feel

very passionate about this subject. I want to encourage people because I've

told you guys, this was a weak spot for our family. This was a weak spot. We got really, really busy.
