This is what I don't understand...my house is actually very, very clean.  I can't imagine ANY housecleaning chore waiting for 2 weeks.  You don't wipe down your range and microwave every time you use it.  What in the world are you leaving stuck to your microwave and range for 2 weeks?!?  We clean off all the food, then sanitize with a cloth.  I use mats in my oven so I literally pull them out every so often and rinse them off and back in the oven they go.  I run the self-cleaner every so often, but even when cooking every night an oven doesn't need a "deep clean" every 2 weeks if you use the mats.  As for floors, we run the vacuum and steam mop several times a week - again which we rotate usually doing a different floor of the house each day. And I have to tell you I actually spit out some of my drink when you said you can't wipe down a  tub the way 2 cleanings ladies do!  Okay, okay, you didn't actually say that, but do they have a magic wand that I don't know about.  Throw some cleaner on that sponge and "wipe" the tub down. Do you think they sit there scrubbing your tub for hours?  It's really not that hard to clean a tub well in under a few minutes.

Maybe if your parents had actually taught you how to clean you would be a little less afraid and a little quicker at it.

PP who is amazingly clean and wakes at 5 to clean and is super efficient at it and grocery shops in 30 minutes a week and cooks all her meals and runs the vacuum AND steam mops a few times every week AND runs the self cleaner on the over every so often AND has mats in the oven that she takes out to clean and rinses them out AND has evening activities with the kids AND works full time....

WOW, you so win at this game!!   But you do sound a little OCD.   Are you?  Because if so, you have an unfair advantage in this competition so you shoudl really bow out![/quote]

To refresh your memory of my pp posts: I get up at 5am to go to work, not clean; who can't grocery shop in 30 mins if you have a list and stick to it?; DH helps with all household chores (if yours doesn't do the same amount of work you do around the house/with kids=your fault) so I don't do it all by myself; and the other items you list are just silly.

It's not about winning at any game and I'm not OCD.  It just seems like people are so crippled in this area to do anything on their own.  People are just so whiny in this town.  If you outsource your cleaning, yard work, babysitting (every time you have to run an errand) it gets irritating to hear there is no other way to do it without sacrificing your left arm.  You are just partly lazy, unmotivated to handle the life you created (big house, kids), and possibly unorganized.  [/quote]
