[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why didn't you hire movers? Most people do.[/quote]

Because her MIL is apparently a spry 50+ year old....[/quote]

I can't imagine asking my mom or MIL to drive hours to help me move when we could pay someone a reasons amount to do it for us. Are finances really tight OP?[/quote]

OP here. Helping each other move is the norm in our families. We helped MIL move right before I got pregnant. We helped SIL a couple of years ago. When my parents relocated to Florida, DH and I helped with that too.My dad flew.out to.Minnesota to help us move to DC years ago. If a family member is.moving and you can help, you do. Just how it is in our families. But, frankly, I'm not going to throw money at movers when we only moved 2 blocks away.

Reading DCUM, it also seems like.most people have housecleaners. I've hired a cleaner exactly once, and that was when we sold our old house. Otherwise, DH and I clean our own home. We have the money, but it's not something we would spend it on. Different values and priorities for people.[/quote]
