Marie Kondo Became a Parent, and Yes, Her Baby Is Already Folding Socks
One of the biggest criticisms people have made about the KonMari Method, a “life-changing” cleaning guru invented by cleaning guru Mari Kondo, is that it doesn’t work if you have kids.
“No matter how perfectly folded my socks are – no matter how minimalistic my bookshelf is – I’ll go to plasticine cakes and Lego towns after every date,” one mom wrote .
“Putting away KonMari-style clothing bags, such as books on the shelf, is a skill beyond my children’s ability,” said another .
“It’s clear that Kondo never flew through the door at 6:30 pm to a kid throwing a tantrum or three kids who are sooooo hungry until lunchtime, but they need to wait a little longer until you’re done, thank your wallet,” shared this parent. …
Wait for Kondo herself to become a parent, people thought appraisingly. Let’s see how neat she is.
It turns out still neat! The Wall Street Journal caught up with the lecherous star , who now has two children. And yes, her oldest daughter, 2-year-old Satsuki, is already following in her mother’s (very clean) footsteps.
“I was surprised to see her put books, stuffed animals and play toys in their places more accurately than I expected,” says the proud mother. “She also tries to copy the way I fold my clothes, although I secretly fix them when she’s not looking.”
Since writing the bestseller “Cleaning Magic , life-changing” , Kondo is now offering some modifications for families.
- Busy parents can start organizing in stages – say, starting with shirts alone – instead of taking on the entire wardrobe at once.
- Decide how much space you can give your kids and make sure they know which space is theirs. Thanks to this, your whole house will not become Kidland.
- It’s never too early to be neat: “Learning to clean is part of growing up.”
