ok, I know this isn't directed at me but here goes.
It takes me longer, but I have 3 kids.plus a dog. They make a huge mess. One child is no where near the mess and work that 3 are.In fact one child is well not even worth mentioning, sorry been there done that. Again, I don't have a cleaning lady, I did once and it took her 3 hours to finish the entire house, she did the floor on her hands and knees.
Ok, I pick up and do laundry and vacuum when kids are at school. I also volunteer and run errands. They hit the door starting at 2:30, then homework help and all sorts of activities in 3 different directions, and most of them make dirt and more laundry, so I come home and cook dinner, I won't serve junk food. then clean up, even with the kids help by now it is pushing 8:30 Baths for the dirty kids, vacuum up sand and dirt brought in from dirty kids. At least 3 towel, they are nasty and we won't use them again, after all the dirt and sweat. Now they can do their nightly reading and finish homework. Sorry, after that I am done. I won't clean until 9 or 10 pm. The weekend, I have 4 sets of sheets to do, all at least queen size, so at least 3 loads, now factor in Cheerleading competitions that require you to be gone all day., sometime 3 soccer games and assorted laundry and dirt, Yep it takes WAY more than a few minutes here and 1 hour on the weekends. And I don't like to use what little free time I have to clean, but I do for now. I am not saying it can't be done, however to think that all I have to do is just dust a little and go over the floors with a duster and pickup is absurd. Way too many kids with way too many activities that cause a mess. And nope I wouldn't change it for anything, so this is my lot in life.
I sure hope that one day if I get a cleaning lady again, I won't be called lazy or spoiled. I would hate for it to become nasty and believe me it would.
