[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Split. I’m a stay at home mom, not a maid.[/quote]

So husband works and he has to do half the cleaning? ok…he’s happy with this arrangement?[/quote] have you ever been a sahp for young children? Yes, he’s happy, why wouldn’t he be? He didn’t marry me for my cleaning skills.[/quote]

🤣you kidding right? I’ve been a SAHM since my children were born and yes, I always cleaned the house and did housework too. My husband works, takes overtimes, so I can take care of our kids. You’re probably rich rich, so you think simple tasks that normal folks do are super demanding and feel overwhelmed when you have to clean the bathrooms.[/quote]

NP. Lots of people who don’t have a lot of money find cleaning demanding and overwhelming. In fact every MC SAH mom I know with the exception of one feels that way.

Different SAHM poster and I don’t understand this. I’ve been a working mom and a SAHM and can definitely see the need/desire for a cleaning lady when both parents are working. Really odd to me to outsource basic house responsibilities when [b]the point of staying at home is to NOT outsource[/b]. Of course you take care of children, but keeping the house clean takes like 5% of my total day, which I can do because I…stay at home. If picking up toys, wiping down sinks, and putting dishes in the dishwasher is overwhelming for someone who is home all day, I’d assume they are not a clean person at all to begin with. Anyone with a basic sense cleanliness should be able to do that. My young kids can, in fact. [/quote]

I don't think you *really* mean that. Do you stay home so to make your life easier and spend more time with kids or so you can completely avoid outsourcing?

And congrats on your basic sense cleanliness, but not everybody is like you. I know sometimes it's hard to use your imagination but you can just believe others whey they say they're not like you. [/quote]

You sound triggered. Are you messy? Also lol at the idea of staying at home to make life easier. You’re definitely not a SAHM.

Of course there are people not like me. Most don’t stay at home! The amount of SAHMs in this country who pay others to clean their house is definitely less than 1%. You enjoy your little bubble.

I’m not triggered. I am messy. I am a stay at home mom. It makes life easier for us. I know a ton of stay at home moms (I’m Mormon so most of my friends are stay at home moms) whose husbands don’t make a lot of money and are overwhelmed and every once in a while treat themselves to a housekeeper.

Not my most eloquent comment but I hope that clears things up. [/quote]
