[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the definition of large by DCUM standards? [b]DH and I built a 5,000 sq. ft house about eleven years ago with the intention of having kids. That didn't pan out [/b]but we love our house.  With just two people, it's not hard to keep the everyday spaces clean and tidy.  We do have a cleaning person every two weeks and she takes about five hours to do the main floor and bedroom level.
Now the problem with the large home is the exterior maintenance. Even with a lawn mowing service, there is still a great deal of weeding and general upkeep that's needed outside. I didn't grow up doing lawn work so it mainly falls on DH's shoulders as he's very meticulous about the yard.  I know he gets annoyed that I don't always jump into action and start weeding or that I don't enjoy planting flowers, etc. It's just not my thing.
We've considered downsizing now that kids are off the table but we've grown attached to the house and enjoy the larger main rooms.[/quote]

Probably because you couldn't find each other to make a baby in that massive house.[/quote]
