Cleaning time can often feel like a solo mission for parents as kids quickly disengage from the task. Experts point out that younger children struggle with the abstract concept of organizing and often default to less effective methods, thinking they're cleaning. This leads to parents feeling as though it's easier to clean alone, ultimately perpetuating the cycle of invisible labor where moms end up completing the task themselves, leaving them overwhelmed and burdened by household responsibilities.
"After three minutes, they're playing with the very toy you just asked them to put away, leaving you to pick up blocks and stuffed tigers."
"Children under the age of 8 often struggle with abstract tasks such as 'organizing.' Shoving everything under the bed seems as valid as neatly stacking items on a shelf."
