We all have our off-days when we don't want to do anything. Why is it that we need motivation to do our housework? I remember telling myself, one early morning when I didn't want to get out of bed, "If Mr. White gave you $500 and said, 'go shopping today and buy anything you want.'" I would promptly get up, with lots of energy. So it has to be a "mood" when we don't feel like being productive at home.
I remember reading one of Erma's books and she was talking about this (in the 1960's). She said one housewife treated herself to a cocktail at 9 in the morning just for making the coffee.
Why do we need incentives? Perhaps because we are surrounded by a culture where few seem to care about homemaking. It is something we have to fight against each day. So if you need to have a cookie as a reward for doing the laundry - go right ahead!
Blessings
Mrs. White
