[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone detail the job description for a full-time housekeeper in a home with 3 people?

I can't imagine there's enough to do to keep her busy 8 hours a day.[/quote]

Lots of people just have higher standards than you, PP.  I don’t mean to be snarky but my mother was a true old fashioned housewife and stayed busy all day.  Our house was spotless and fresh, homemade meals were made daily.  She washed our kitchen floor every single day and we never used a towel twice.

I wish my house was like that! [/quote]

but some of what you're describing is really busy work.  no one's kitchen floor needs to be washed every day. it's super wasteful to use a towel only one time.  Your mom was filling up her activities to fill the time she had available.[/quote]

+1 Reminds me of how the staff are kept busy on Downton Abbey polishing silver and ironing napkins.[/quote]

-1. Real silver needs to be polished frequently and they didn’t have permapress napkins.

Why is it so hard for you both to understand that some people have higher standards of cleanliness than you do?  [/quote]

You say higher standards, I say neuroticism and undiagnosed anxiety disorder.[/quote]

You clearly live in a small house.  I say your house smells and you’re a slob.  How’s judgement working out for you? [/quote]
