Working Parents Need These Apps

There’s an app for everything these days and this infographic from HappyCleans takes you through ones to help out working parents. How many hours a day do working parents have to relax? When you consider that many of them have a full-time job and also have a full-time job managing the millions of tasks at home, it’s hard to think they have any time to relax at all!

So many people are in this situation and hopefully some of the apps featured here will be of some use. When you’re this busy, it’s so important to stay organized to ensure you’re not wasting  time trying to figure out everything that needs to be done.

For example, Chorma is a great app as it turns household tasks into a competition. You’d be surprised at how competitive kids are and on this app they earn points for completing their tasks. It’s vital that kids at least do some small things around the house and even getting them to make their beds can give you some precious time to relax.

Another big thing for many families is budgeting and with so many different expenses for school and extra classes, it can be easy to let expenditure get out of hand. The Mint app will hopefully help you here as you can monitor expenditure all on one app. It makes sure you save enough money and plan things a little better. Find out all about this app and more in the infographic. Download a few of them to see if they’re of any use!
