Hello I have the sweetest maid she takes great care of Gigi and me .

bye bye

Fraser, that you?

We clean our own place, but have kicked around the idea. We just hear too many bad stories to pull the trigger on a service.

We had bi-weekly service up until a few months ago. I thought it was the wrong mesage to send my boys.

We had dinner with some friends a few weeks back. The wife called it cheaper than marriage counseling.

Personally, I do the dishes, laundry and vacuuming. She cooks and shops. It works for me.

Same here, but its about $80. The greatest stress reducer on a marriage we've ever had. We started when my wife first went back to work when the kids were still fairly young. Then we didn't for a while after we moved east and money was tight. I always did a fair amount of cleaning, but there were always tensions over how dirty something had to get before I'd clean it, etc. As such, she always got stuck with the nastier jobs. Having someone come in and do the bathrooms, kitchen, dust, mopping, vacuum, etc every couple of weeks reduces our conflicts to near zero, particularly now that the girls are out of the house.

When I was a little kid, we actually had an every day maid for a few years. My folks thought they'd "made it" and that came with the territory. But even though she was a very nice lady, it was just kind of weird. By the time I was eight, we moved out to Arizona and dropped that nonsense. Having THAT sort of thing for any length of time could really mess up your sense of perspective I think - I'm glad I didn't have that in my teenage years when I had to get used to doing some of the household chores. But having someone come in for a couple of hours every other week doesn't feel much different than taking my car to a mechanic or going to a restaurant. Or paying a neighborhood kid to cut the grass, back when we had grass to cut.
