Accountant.

Don't have the Subaru anymore and we only pay a flat fee for cleaning the house...doesn't matter how many people she brings to help her. I pay the same regardless. We only have her come every 2 weeks...I'm not that rich!

Oh, and I do my own yard work. :D

No, if you clean up after yourself there won't be any hardcore cleaning needed to be done.

I'm SURE you can take a few minutes off from sitting infront of the computer to do such a simple task.

Now, if you have like 5 kids and work 12 hours a day, OK, but otherwise stop being so lazy.

Do you live in a one room apartment? 5 minutes to clean on Sat? It takes 15 minutes just to vacuum the upstairs of our house.

This happened two weeks ago when she was here last too. I'm getting ready to fire her ass. This is ridiculous. :|

Update-My wife had me make her a sandwich. And me being the big pussy I am made her one....:roll:

you've got some illegals working for ya, eh?

Wow, it's amazing how fervent someone can get about something so completely irrelevant to themselves- criticizing another for using a cleaning lady to clean their home? Crissakes, it's their fvcking job, and they make good money in such an occupation that offers decent pay at flexible hours, for someone with a limited skillset (adding "most likely" here, for you queers that jump on everything). Next time, ask a cleaning lady to join your little activist crusade and see if they don't spit in your face. Pretentious douche.

I have a cleaning lady as well, and contrary to what some might think, it's not because I get a rise out of having someone performing chores for me, or because I have nowhere else to spend money. It's because I've calculated my finances, weighed the amount of time it would take for me to clean myself versus the final end result of how clean the place actually ended up becoming - and I've decided on using a cleaning lady. $50 for 2 hours, once every 2 weeks? Yeah, indulgence overload :disgust:

So next time you decide to b!tch about something and play the high-horse card about something you're obviously completely uninformed about, and will likely remain so forever - bite your tongue and learn the quick way how to shut the fvck up.

Tho maybe not that harshly :)

I would say this, anyone giving the OP and others crap about having a house cleaner should never do any of the following as it is tasks they should do for themselves.

Eat out: You can cook your OWN food.
CarWash: Do it yourself
Dry Cleaner: Wash your own damn clothes
Taxes: No paying anyone else for a service
Pest Control: No you get rid of that beehive in the front yard.
Oil Change: It's not that hard.
Day Care,: stay off the PC and watch your kids
Landscaping: no mexicans here, mow your own lawn

etc, etc, etc, et"fsvking"cetera

I decline to answer that on the grounds that it may incriminate me. ;) Seriously though, we never asked. She was referred by a friend of my wife.

Uhhh our cleaning lady used to come at like 9AM and left at 1PM. Go figure. I live in a 4000 sq. foot house.

She's not professional cleaning service or anything, just one of those Asian ladies that wants to do it, but we figured we should get more specialized ppl, so we hired this trio of Mexican ladies that do it in a little less than 2 hrs. Very good job :thumbsup:

So I don't get why you're complaining it takes so long. If you're talking about mopping the freaking floor, it only takes a little while, but when you need to vaccum the whole damn house + wipe wipe down every sink (4 bathrooms), clean the shower doors, clean the desks, clean bathrooms... it's not a simple task.

Takes me quite a while just to mop down the kitchen in my 650 sq. foot apartment (vaccum + swiffer wipes dry + wet + mop)

I do all of that myself, and more.
