Hood09 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Both myself and my wife work and we also have a little one so looking to get some help with the domestic chores around the house. Anyone here got a cleaner or can recommend one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restonbabe Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Start pulling your finger out and help her then. Get up an hour earlier. Should be no excuses especially with a little one. Tidy up as you go. Do the dishes after the tea to burn it off. Hoover in the morning, dust before you go to bed. Put the washing on at night. Then before you go to work take it out and either hang it up or put it in the dryer. Things to help you are. Buy a dishwasher and a combo washer/dryer. Even get one of those robo vacuum cleaner. Don't ever let dust build up especially if you have a wee one. Honestly no excuses for lazyness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this poster talking about laziness!?!? Get a grip. I work extremely long hours - and the poster indicates he and his wife work - so how people spend their money has nothing to do with you. Perhaps he would rather hang out with his kid than clean the house? Don't be such a judgemental ***** And why have you assumed his wife does the housework? Or was that your sexism showing?

Restonbabe Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'm a woman. 7 months pregnant with a 9 year old. Work 35 hours a week. Still have time to clean and ensure everything's in order.

It's called proiritys. You make time it's simple as that. It's actually called priorities... Pedantry aside, I would suggest it's perfectly reasonable that people might prioritise other things, ahead of cleaning. If they can afford to pay for someone else to do it, they can spend time doing other things they would rather do. So perhaps not as simple as that.

Restonbabe Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Deary me. Try shiftwork when your wee one screams all night long and see how much of that you can't actually do. Try carrying a child for 9 months see how much of that you can't actually do. Been there done that have many many t shirts. Been up for 3 nights in a row with my wee one being sick into my hands because she wasn't going to make the toilet. You just get on with it. Shift work is nothing.

You are judging people who hire a cleaner. Why, god only knows. And now you have two sexist sentences to end your last post. Can you please point us to the "many" examples - which I presume are scientific studies beyond reproach - that show that a man couldn't cope with a "women's workload". And out of interest, what is "a women's workload"? It's the 21st century so I don't know what you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've moved and I don't know the company they used. Totally! I have a friend who used to get his house cleaned and his washing and ironing taken away and delivered back for 50 quid a week but that was before he lost his job. But why not, he decided that 200 quid of his disposable income a month was worth paying to put his feet up while still living in a clean house, others make different judgement calls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy clearly states that he and his wife work and so would like to ease the workload at home so they can relax or spend time with their kids, not to mention that someone else will be benefiting by earning a little cash and because your up the duff and feeling all hormonal you think it's perfectly ok to give him a hard time? **** off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Gordons Gloves Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'm wary of posting this as i don't want to cause Restonbabe to go into premature labor but i'm the only income earner in our house and we had cleaners* come in every week to clean the house. The best part is, i know of at least another 3 people who do the same. It was great. So Hood09 - can't offer any recommendations but you'll find that once you find the right person/people it makes for a much better family life. *it was a family business so the 3 of them would come and do the whole house in less than 2 hours.
