[quote=Anonymous]I am the poster that had a housekeeper 20 hours/wk. 3 kids under 5. Here was the breakdown: Laundry- 3 hours/wk Grocery shopping, putting food away, cleaning out fridge- 3 hours/wk Making dinner and cleaning kitchen - 4 hours/wk Miscellaneous project: switching out kids clothes, organizing the linen closet, taking big rugs to laundromat - 3 hours/wk That’s 13 hours, but then there were a lot of little things that take 5-15 minutes/day, but the time adds up: Tidying up shoes and sweeping leaves/mud in entryway Hand washing/filling baby bottles Spot cleaning bathrooms Vacuuming under dining room table, cleaning high chairs Watering plants/weeding Making kids beds Vacuuming the playroom Taking out trash My kids are older now, and they do a lot of this stuff themselves, but when they were really little it was a ton of work.
