[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can hire help but that doesn't mean it's actually that helpful. Believe me. No cleaning lady I've ever hired has ever done a good a job *consistently* as I would have done myself. It makes sense in a way. She's not the homeowner, she's only making about $20 an hour, maybe less. She's not as incentivized to really put some elbow grease in the job and scour every corner. But I don't want to do it myself all the time so I'm willing to put up with inconsistencies here and there. Same with other tasks.

But I could see how if you're hiring everything out and it's all a little slipshod and patchy how that would become extremely annoying really fast.[/quote]

But here's what I don't get - I should scale back my career because my house is a little dirty? Again, if you don't enjoy your work, it's not important to your identity, you don't mind spending a lot of time managing the household and the family doesn't much care financially whether your work is paid, then sure. But I would have to be more than annoyed to give up my career. No man ever has quit because the household becomes a little slipshod and patchy.[/quote]

Of course not. If it doesn't bother you, who cares?  Certainly not me. But some people do care. Not just about the dirty house, but everything combined. No be quits because the house is a little dirty. [/quote]
