Many housewives reasonably claim that housekeeping, keeping the house clean, cooking, taking care of things and relatives takes them much more time and energy than their main job. But the main difference is not better side is the fact that household chores do not end, they are performed cyclically, so there is no strong satisfaction from doing such work.

Let's figure out how to organize life so as not to get tired, so that housekeeping takes less effort and energy, so that there is time for yourself, your personal affairs.

Many women suffer from the fact that they are torn into two sides: work and family chores. Everyone knows that the modern busy rhythm of life does not allow you to effectively use your free time to perform household chores. And this applies to both those who work and those who are housewives.

A home routine can leave you exhausted, and even more so kill your personal time. In order not to fall into everyday captivity, it is important to competently approach the organization of household and everyday affairs.

The main rule of organizing your time is planning. Scheduled time will allow you to do quality work around the house and leave hours for yourself, your beloved. Of course, this only sounds easy and simple, but in fact it will require effort, especially at first. The following tips will help you improve your life at home:

• Distribute all household chores by day of the week. So you get rid of a heavy load and you can keep your house in order every day, but in small “portions”. This will relieve fatigue and help easily.
• Create a to-do list for the week, post it prominently, and cross it off as you complete it. When half of the list is crossed out, you will already get some satisfaction from the work done, and discover a second wind in yourself.
• Try to distribute some household chores among other household members. For example, entrust the removal of garbage to the husband or eldest son. Shopping - for myself, wet cleaning and getting rid of dust from the house - for my daughter. By involving household members in weekly or general cleaning, you will not only clean your apartment with high quality, but also make it a tradition that unites your family.

• General cleaning also takes a lot of time. Try to prepare for it in advance. Clear out your closets and get rid of things you don't need. Put things in order in the closet or on the loggia. The more space you free up, the sooner you will finish the upcoming cleanup, because you will not need to rearrange an unused arsenal of things from place to place.
• Use high-quality equipment for cleaning: rags, brushes, mops, buckets with a wringer, and so on. High-quality tools help to cope with the work faster and better, and then you do not need to redo anything. Throw out old, worn-out things without hesitation.

One of the main rules of keeping the house in order is the ability to put things in their place after use. This will save you from the mess and chaos, which will become more and more difficult to clean up every time. Rubbish, by the way, must also be thrown away immediately, and not accumulated in all corners of your apartment.

Modern household appliances

Household appliances produced in a huge range are designed to make it easier for women and men to run a household. The following devices can be extremely helpful:

• If you have a baby or a small child in your arms, then many worries fall solely on you. Here, modern household appliances will become the main assistants. For example, a dishwasher, which will save a lot of time. This is the "queen" in the kitchen, she will wash all the dishes after preparing dinner and after all family members have eaten. At this time, you can relax a little and drink tea or coffee.
• A washing vacuum cleaner will also benefit. With it, you can not only remove dust from carpets and other coatings, but also wash parquet, laminate, tiles and even windows. This is much easier and faster than manual, two-stage cleaning. In addition, the steam units of washing machines kill bacteria, which helps to refresh the house and secure it.

• The washing machine has long become a "member" of every family. It is difficult to imagine modern life without her participation. Washing time can also be spent on yourself or, say, watering flowers.
• Kitchen utensils are truly able to save a lot of time for the hostess. Numerous mixers, multicookers, steamers, microwaves, ladles, graters and others useful items created to improve and facilitate the processes of cooking and putting things in order in the kitchen. Kitchen equipment, such as a smoker or electric grill, will help you cook any dish deliciously. All this necessary “little thing” is designed to untie the hands of a modern hostess and allow her to spend time usefully.

Do not overload yourself with chores, do the work according to the plan and with pauses, and you will immediately feel that the former fatigue from cleaning has disappeared.

An integrated approach to housekeeping, the use of high-quality household appliances and cleaning products, will allow you to keep your household at a constant high level. When guests come to you, they will certainly be amazed at how you manage to do everything.

Think about it - it's almost six months! Let's think about how to equip your life outside the city so that life on fresh air became not only useful, but also pleasant and comfortable.

"Hooray! We are going to the dacha!”, you hear from family members. So, the time has come to think about how to organize comfortable conditions for living outside the city, so that the rest is not overshadowed by everyday troubles, both small and not so.

Engineering communications in the country

The biggest problem is that the suburban area there are no communications (water supply, hot water, heating). To put up with this is to complicate your life. You need to take care of the elementary benefits of civilization in advance, even before you come here on vacation or just relax on a day off. To begin with, provide water inlet and outlet in the house. It is necessary to bring water into the house and dig a hole where it will merge. Consider an air vent for your mini sewer, as water tends to stagnate and spread unpleasant "aromas". Of course, you can run outside for a kettle of water. What if it rains? What if it's cold? Well, why do you need it?

The toilet is definitely nowhere without it. Outdoor facilities are so unpleasant. If you have small children, elderly or sick relatives, then this option is absolutely unacceptable. Think of a dry closet - it's convenient, comfortable and hygienic.

If your stay in the country is delayed for more than three days, then you can’t do without a shower and laundry. In summer, on hot days, a barrel painted in dark color. The water in such a container will heat up faster, and tired summer residents will be able to freshen up and wash their clothes. Washing by hand is not very pleasant. An ultrasonic washing machine will help you to facilitate the work. It is compact, simple and efficient to use.

Outdoor cottage buildings

Of course, the queen of any vacation in the country (short-term and not very) is a bath. Do not save on materials and wages of workers, spare no effort in construction, because a good bathhouse will serve you for decades. At the dacha, they not only work, but also relax, and very often family members and friends gather at a large table. Take care in advance not only of benches and tables, but also of a canopy to hide under it when it rains. Perfect option for a feast, of course, a gazebo. When building it, remember that it should be comfortable in it both in the heat and in the cool.

Interior arrangement of the cottage

Think about the arrangement of a country house. Ideally, if each family member will have a personal bed. To do this, you can use albeit old, but strong furniture, and if there is none, use air beds and mattresses.

Arrange a corner for the kitchen. There should be a cupboard with dishes, a dining table, a stove and a table for cooking. The range of household and kitchen appliances is huge, you can easily choose a suitable summer option, which is suitable for cramped conditions and will not cost very much. We already remembered about the plumbing, but washing dishes in cold water is a pleasure below average. We recommend purchasing a water heater.

If it gets colder, life in a country house will no longer be so pleasant, you can easily catch a cold. Think about how you will heat the house. Is there a stove in the house? Wonderful! But if not, then heaters or electric fireplaces will save you. Electric blankets and electric sheets will help to warm a damp cold bed.

Be sure to remember the small household trifles. A tornado rodent repeller will protect you from unwanted "neighbors", and mosquito nets on doors and windows will help not to spoil the impression of your vacation.

Check if your house is well lit, whether it will be convenient for the hostess to cook in the kitchen. The construction of a shady veranda, the construction of a swimming pool, a barbecue, a workshop will make your vacation outside the city even more comfortable.

If opportunities allow, take care of it in advance. We wish you a pleasant stay in good company!

When the wedding fanfare is heard, the young couple speak in unison about their happiness and the belief that this marriage is forever. However, not everyone remembers that only the first month is called "honey", and the first year of married life, without exception, all family therapists include in the list of crisis years.

Why is it so difficult for newlyweds in the first year if they married for great and pure love? There can be many reasons - financial or domestic problems, the intervention of third parties, or even a discrepancy between expectations from family life and reality.

When making any decisions, consult with your spouse, take into account the opinion of the second half, stand on his place. Unfortunately, in the first crisis year, when a young couple provided unique chances to find keys to each other, to seek compromises, to cope with problems together, many decide to simply break off the "vicious" relationship. By the way, quite often this is influenced by the advice of friends and parents. Problems should not be solved with strangers, and in negotiations with each other .

One of the most important problems for couples entering into a crisis already in the first year of family life is the inability to speak.

And without discussing problems, finding a solution that suits both, it is impossible to solve the problem. Here some tips for dealing with conflicts:

• Any conflict should be resolved only between those people whom it concerns . Therefore, you should not allow moms, girlfriends and the Internet community to discuss your problems.
• Many experienced wives know that it is necessary to resolve any issues with her husband only after he has returned from his workplace, has eaten and rested. So it is worth considering carefully the time and place of negotiations.
• It is not always worth telling your spouse about your experiences. Sometimes misunderstanding arises “in the head”, and most issues need to be resolved only with a fresh mind, after a decline in emotions.
• It is always worth remembering that it is possible to solve a problem, especially if you know the person well and are able to convince him that you are right. However, inept actions to resolve the conflict can lead to the fact that a small omission develops into a loud scandal.

Be tactful: in case of disputes, do not be rude or snarky

If something annoys you in your spouse, be patient. Many at first will not understand this advice - how is it that she insults me, but I have to endure her? No, it's not about meekly enduring all claims, but about the fact that one of the main secrets of a happy family life is respect. You are a family, a cell of society, acting as a single organism, so why sting each other and put pressure on the sick? The main thing that should be achieved in any family conflict is its solution, and not at all the satisfaction of your moral aspirations.

Always think only about the interests of the family, and not about your own.

For example - a wife demands that her husband spend more time with her, because this should be the case in the “right” family. However, the husband works tirelessly to provide for his beloved and the child. And if he makes concessions to her, then he will not be able to earn a normal income or rest. So the wife will either have to put up with her husband's schedule, or look for some ways to be alone.

If you understand how important your marriage is to your spouse, do not threaten divorce in any scandal. Otherwise, one day he will simply agree with this decision of yours. In this case, reconciliation will be difficult.

Also do not run out of the house shouting words of hatred. So you notify your neighbors in the affairs of your family, and humiliate yourself in the eyes of your spouse - such scenes are good only for soap operas, in real life it is unlikely that anyone will run after you. The same applies to showdown in public - do you really want sympathetic looks so much that you are ready to humiliate your spouse with scenes of quarrels in front of the public?

If you understand that you cannot cope with your aggression or constant claims on your own, you can consult a specialist – professional the look of an outsider often becomes a good solution to protracted problems.

Take on new roles: the role of husband and wife

Solving problems is not easy, it is much easier to learn how to avoid them. That is why in the first year of marriage, solving problems and enjoying each other, it is worth learning a new role - husband and wife.
What changes after marriage? Why does a happy wedding day turn into a nightmare for many? This has two causes:

1. Life. Recently, more and more often young people get married after they test the relationship with their life together. But still, it often turns out that the future husband and wife lived separately. Yes, and the baby, appearing in the first year of marriage, causes trouble and brings discord into the established way of life, even for the couple that seems to have checked their relationship with everyday life.
2. The very concept of "love" is changing. This is not just flowers and romance, but a full range of care and courtship. To bring tea to a sick wife, to support her husband in difficult times, to spend the whole weekend solving her problems - this is a small part of what love is expressed in.

Supporting each other , frankly talking about their experiences , you can achieve family harmony .

Since ancient times, a woman has been the mistress of the house, on which all obligations are imposed. But her husband can and should help her , it is in this that the love and respect of her husband will be manifested . Sharing family responsibilities, taking care of the family budget together is the key to a happy marriage.

And finally - be realistic in your expectations of your married life. For some reason, many hope that marriage will change a person, that a negligent bride will become a skilled cook, and a reveler-groom after the wedding will not rush to bars. It is worth understanding in advance that living together is not only waking up together, but also sharing responsibilities, helping each other in solving problems, and, of course, enjoying family life.
