[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I joke that my next raise will go towards having the cleaners come every week instead of every other week. We held out until we had two kids and I often wonder why we didn't get a cleaner sooner - it has been a game changer in terms of how much less stressed I feel over not having to find time to mop and dust.[/quote] You joke, but I actually got a new job with a raise motivated in large part by the desire to have weekly cleaners ... it was the first thing I added to our new budget. Weekly actually does make a big difference compared to biweekly. With weekly cleaners (who also fold and put away laundry) I basically don't have to worry about anything other than keeping kitchen and dining room surfaces cleaned and the dishes. If I do have extra cleaning time/energy on the weekends, I can use that for other one-off projects, like organizing closets, garden, etc. It's GREAT. [/quote]
