[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$200K and we've had a cleaning lady (1x month) since we were making $75K. So, a while.

Our philosophy is that we outsource the tasks we don't enjoy so we can focus on the things we do enjoy. I don't think there is anything unethical about this approach. If my children take the same approach some day as adults with their own disposable income, I think that's fine.

We also have a landscaping team that comes to mow the yard, trim edges, etc. They don't do plantings and stuff because we aren't really sure what we want yet, but maybe next year we'll start on that.

My kids are middle school age and they regularly help with dishes, their room, vacuuming and sweeping, litterbox scooping, cat feeding, etc. They don't receive an allowance for these chores; they are expected to help with the household. I'm not saying they don't complain, because they do, but too bad. They have to help.

We have an au pair, so she does the kids' laundry and makes a lot of the meals. [/quote]
