[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are DINKS (but just found out we are expecting…fingers crossed!) and got a monthly service when we moved from a condo to a house. He has a demanding job (10-12 hours a day, with no ability to work remotely); I work from home but also have a demanding job. Neither of us are ‘dirty’, but he is messy and similar to some posters above I was getting resentful about doing 90% of the cleaning. Monthly is perfect for us, makes it easy for us to maintain a clean house the rest of the month, and forces us (mainly him) to straighten up prior to the cleaners. If I ultimately become a SAHM we will no longer do this but right now it is a no brainer. [/quote]

big jobs and big money it’s expected; I’m talking about way more MC 9-5 roles. [/quote]

I posted above that DH and I did this when he was in residency ~ 15 years ago. We were making 100K at the time and it was $90/cleaning for a 3BR house. (I lated dropped to half time when our first dc was born, so we made even less then). We were never the types to want the latest tech or a fancy vehicle, but this relatively modest expense was really worth it for us and helpful for our marriage. We still socked money away into our retirement and paid off our student loans; we just had to budget. [/quote]
