Title says it all.
I am usually gone from 8am-8pm Monday through Friday, and have to go into the office for about 8 hours on Saturday every other week. My wife works similar hours.
To be honest, I don't want to spend 2-3 hours every other weekend cleaning my house. We split laundry duties, cooking, and take care of small cleaning things (the counter, the refrigerator, small bathroom cleaning, etc). The house is clean.
I would like to do other things on the weekend rather than make the house look perfect. It would be worth the $100/every two weeks for me. We both make $150k combined with virtually no debt.
Do I see her point of view? Somewhat. If I had a 7-3:30 job, I would get most of this done during the week. But I don't have that type of job. And on the weekends, I don't want to sit there and deep clean the house.
She is adamant that she does not want somebody coming to clean the house. I almost want to tell her that she can clean the house herself if she wants, but I think we all know that is going to end up in resentment.
As a side note, I am the breadwinner. I am making $100k...and though I have never/would never rub her nose in that, I was almost at the point of telling her i'm going to make this decision.
I am not asking for marital advice...I'm simply asking what people's opinions are regarding whether it's lady to hire a cleaning person for the amount posted so that I can enjoy my free time after working the amount of hours/week that I work.
No kids.
Thanks.
