You cant put a price on time (and sanity) right?
So- after yet another mental breakdown this week, I just hired a cleaning lady.
I'm way too crazy about my house being clean, I try to let the little things go, but I cant...
I feel like my entire weekend is spent cleaning, and I am left with no time to spend with DS, and it was making me crazy with guilt.
So my boss rec'd someone she uses, and the price was pretty good...She will be coming every other week, and maybe eventually every week.
Part of me feels guilty, because there a million other things that money could be spent on BUT I think if I keep up with the way Im going now, Ill end up in a crazy house...
Please tell me not to feel guilty..

Maris, my mom ALWAYS said she gladly would pass up jewelry from my dad to pay for their cleaning lady! And now that I am a working mother, I totally understand that!
Don't feel guilty!! You derserve it!

If my DH allowed me (Financially) I absolutely would have one!!!
In fact next year it might be worth if for me to take 2 tutoring jobs a week- one to pay for daycare and the other for house cleaning!!! Those extra 2 hours of work a week will save me so much more on the weekends!

I used to feel the same way, until we hired a cleaning lady a month ago. She has come twice (every other week) and I love that I don't have to spend time cleaning or worrying about my place. I don't feel guilty anymore
