I'll put up my house to your house tidyness wise and i got a 3 y.o. on the rampage, but cleaning toilets and showers etc. is not picking up.

Z starts her masters program next month, and i ain't much on cleaning ( i am the tidy one in the house though)

My wife and I both work full time. I am by her definition a slob. ( I on the other hand believe that we simply have different thresholds for what is clean) Since we both wanted our relationship to be successful we knew that a maid would be part of our monthly expenses. She come bi weekly at the cost of $120 per session. This has been for my wife and I, a well spent investment in domestic tranquility.

It wasn't a challenge to your cleanliness Ed, I was just replying with my thoughts.

Damn, you fuckers are going to throw down the "who has the cleanest house challenge". Thats hardcore

Mine is there every day, but does a shitty job because there's no pay. But sometimes i get to wear my little maid's uniform while i clean

Seriously, though- I've considered having someone come in, but my biggest concern is theft or breakage. Even with a larger service (Molly Maids, whatever). I just don't want the hassle.

Besides, I'm a guy- I don't believe in dust.

Not everyone who has a maid is a "pig."

We generally keep the house clean, but about once a month or so its woth 125 bucks to have someone come over to the house to mop, sweep, give the toilets a good once over, do the windows, vac the rugs, etc. To me, its worth it every once and a while.

Per the people claiming others were "rich" - I hardly think 100-150/month is really that big of a deal for even the most modest middle class family to be able to afford.

I dont find it a whole lot different than paying the neighborhood illegal 50 bucks to come over and rake up my leaves and do yardwork once every 6 months. To me, the cost far outweighs the time Id rather spend doing other shit where the help may be 100/hr rather than 10-20/hr. *shrug*

Made it sound like those who have maids live piggishly.

You should shake the sand out a little...

Mine is $100 per hour and comes over whenever the wife isn't home. She doesn't do around the world, but I never last that long anyways...
