[quote=Anonymous]I identify with the immigrants who had household help. I didn't have it growing up but have spent significant time in areas of the world where it's more common. It is clear to me I have maybe 1/10 of OP's budget. I cannot even imagine wanting to spend that $ on clothes even if I did have the money. But I probably spend 2x as much on household help. It makes a huge difference in my life and buys me time. And to the posters who say it's not dignified or American, I remember thinking that way myself. I don't think it's wrong, and I have guilt sometimes and make an effort to teach my kids the laundry machine, for instance, but I can tell you that my equation: My kids having a much calmer, available set of parents are benefitting more than they would from knowing how to clean a toilet right now.
