[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems trolly. No one gets a weekly massage and facial. [/quote]

I’ve known people who have done this. And I thought it was insane. I do think the post is trolly too though. [/quote]

OP here. She has been getting weekly massages for the past decade. She has genetic nerve issues that give her neck and lower back pain. She also does physical therapy and chiropractor care for it. I mistook facials as other things. She gets like body scrubs, hot stone massages, aromatherapy, etc., with massages. [/quote]

I understand the massages are for health reasons.  But with regard to the other stuff she is a mother now quitting her job to be with her child, not a woman just living her life.  I live in Bethesda and know lots of wealthy women, and I SAH.  I literally know NO ONE who gets weekly facial/body scrub/ aromatherapy etc.  That is truly excessive (and I do get my hair highlighted every 6 weeks and have nice things).  That might be something she does when she is young and childless, but you and she should know that is not only not typical, even very wealthy people don't do that.   I know many people who get regular manicures.  However Pedicures, which are more expensive do not need to be as frequent, especially in winter.  Try every 4 weeks in winter for the pedicure.  I am also a PP who said- who is watching the baby when she is getting all this stuff done?

A body scrub and/or facial more than a couple times a year is a true luxury- Most people in Bethesda/Potomac that I know do not get these more than a few times a year.  Your original post asked a question, and people are giving answers, but you are very defensive about some of these choices too.

Get rid of the food service and scale back the facials/scrubs to a couple times a year.  Pedicures every 4 weeks in winter.  Then keep all the rest and assess whether you can manage financially.[/quote]
