[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't mean to hijack this thread but I am going to comment (it's relevant to what OP implies).

We have never had a house cleaner and for upper middle class people in this area that seems like an outlier. We moved from a 1800 sf house to a 3000 sf house and it's almost easier to clean (the new house is newer, the old house was very old). Sometimes I wish we had a cleaner, but this weekend when I was raking leaves with my teen DS I realized something: he has so much relative privilege and so few chores (again, relatively) that having to clean a toilet and rake leaves semi-regularly is a gift to him and to his future partner or roommate(s). In fact, when I started raking at 10am he came out on his own at 10:30 to help, suited up. Then and there I decided that I won't question whether we should have a cleaner or lawn company for routine mowing/raking until he goes to college.

A huge part of this reason is to not end up like OP. And OP, I'm sorry. You sound thoughtful, in retrospect. [/quote]

What a judgmental, unhelpful post. Glad you are trying not to be like OP. 🙄[/quote]
