Re: SAHMs...Can we discuss cleaning ladies?
Posted by smdl
I would love a cleaning lady and a landscaper but it's not in the budget. I would pic the landscaper before the cleaning lady though.
I would too- DH is great about cleaning and we get it done. We both hate yardwork.

Re: SAHMs...Can we discuss cleaning ladies?
I'm not a SAHM and I think it is totally ridiculous that you would need a cleaning lady - I mean - you are at home all day with nothing to do but take care of DC - how can you NOT clean???? Get your hands out of the bon-bons - shut off oprah and get your a$$$ movin  
Obviously I was kidding - I am a SAHM and only have a cleaning lady come once a month but i could REALLY use one once a week! I just feel guilty about it! But anyway, the fact that 15 people actually picked that response makes me

Re: SAHMs...Can we discuss cleaning ladies?
I don't have one. I don't want the exta expense and i guess when you don't have something - you really don't know what your missing either..lol
But honestly, Ive been able to manage okay without one.

Re: SAHMs...Can we discuss cleaning ladies?
We do not have one, nor do I feel it's necessary for us to get one.
Some days I can clean the whole house, other days, not so much. And that is ok with me and DH. He does what he can, when he can, too.

Re: SAHMs...Can we discuss cleaning ladies?
I was able to handle cleaning the house with just one child, but once we had 2 under 2, the dynamics changed. 
If we didn't have guests here so often, I probably wouldn't have hired a cleaning service, but knowing we have family & friends here almost every weekend, it was just too much pressure to keep on top of it.
So, I stopped getting my weekly manicures & pedicures and opted for a weekly cleaning crew, which is still cheaper than what my mani/pedis cost me. No regrets here.

Re: SAHMs...Can we discuss cleaning ladies?
I wish DH would let me get one!!! Its not about money or my "job" but he doesnt trust strangers coming into the house.

This was how it was in my house as well - I finally put my foot down and said I was getting one (he restores his classic car - I told him that he can spend money on that then I can spend money on this)...
To make him happier about it, I don't have them clean our bedroom - he agreed to it after that. I also stay home while they are here (and stay in my bedroom)...

Do not have one and would never want one. I would have a really hard time letting a stranger clean my house.

Re: SAHMs...Can we discuss cleaning ladies?
we got one when I was 7 months pregnant and kept her. If you can afford it it's worth it. ETA: My family was very supportive then, but to be honest I haven't mentioned to too many people.

eta- I think sahm's need it MORE b/c the kids are home and moms are making a bigger mess then if eveyone was out at work/daycare etc...kwim? And who can clean with a child around underfoot?
Great point!
I just figured this out last night. I always wondered why there is so much more to do now that I SAH.
Thanks to the OP - I had been wondering about this topic as well. I would love one, but can't justify it to DH now... but when we have another, I'll need some recommendations ladies!
