[quote=Anonymous]I don't WANT to be a domestic goddess, but I have become one. I have a well-paying career, work more than 40 hours a week, but I still do 95% of the domestic chores myself. I used to have housecleaners, but none of the ones I have hired over the years do a particularly good job. Clutter and messiness make me angry, I keep on top of keeping things tidy. I love to eat home-cooked meals, so I make them. I have skinny kids, so I take in the waists of their pants. I get annoyed with high estimates for house repairs in the DC metro area, so I watch Youtube videos and figure it out. I was given a 5-figure estimate from some landscaping work, so I spent ~$1000 and two weekends and did it myself. I think that DC is a really strange market in which domestic service and repair work costs 2-3 times what it does in other cities. If it weren't for the high cost, I would outsource most of this stuff in an instant.[/quote]
