[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally reasonable to want help. And if you prioritize resources accordingly, it's affordable for your budget. I find dealing with all of the various ancillary services (house cleaners, meal service, grocery delivery, etc.) to be a huge headache rather than a simplification. You are trying to minimize your mental load, not add to it. I lucked out and found one really talented, kind and hard working person who is amazing. She cleans, runs errands, [b]sorts[/b] [b]mail[/b], grocery shops, does laundry, handles dry cleaning and cares for my daughter like she's her own child. I pay her well. This streamlines my life and makes everything else manageable. I'm grateful for her everyday. Every family is different but this works for us.[/quote]

Is this a big job at your house?[/quote]

Yes, mail and paperwork is a big undertaking. In addition to personal mail, we have a home based business and a rental property.  She helps with sorting and filing accordingly which is a big help, especially at tax time![/quote]

I'm the pp with the housekeeper and this is not something on our list. I literally come home and go straight to he mail on the counter and dump 90% of it unopened and into the trash. We don't even get bills in the mail anymore, it is all done online.  Of the remaining 10%, usually half of that goes into the trash too after I open it.[/quote]

This. We have many rental properties and self employed businesses and paperwork that comes in by mail. Easily handled by me[/quote]
