I insist on it.<BR/><BR/>But, because we have a maid, I don't clean the floors, bathrooms, toilets, carpets, anything. I let her do it once a week (but I don't have dogs either which would be different) and that's as good as it gets.<BR/><BR/>So, the other two biggies, my husband and I split. He does ALL the dishes period. I do ALL the laundry period.<BR/><BR/>So we all generally pick up after ourselves, and then I have laundry.<BR/><BR/>It works for us. But I don't care about him thinking I'm not a good cleaner. Cause I'm not. And then I get to blog instead...<BR/><BR/>:)Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305850648928447302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618963181449655124.post-91000706050672936162008-06-23T06:51:00.000-05:002008-06-23T06:51:00.000-05:00I felt the same way when my husband suggested a ma...I felt the same way when my husband suggested a maid. We haven't broken down to get one yet, partially because I'm too stubborn to have things done "my way", but as I sit here there are dishes to be done and two loads of laundry waiting to make it from the living room to the bedrooms.... :)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08972269399453437496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618963181449655124.post-57844369116745374022008-06-22T09:04:00.000-05:002008-06-22T09:04:00.000-05:00Well you ARE a woman after my own heart - to some ...Well you ARE a woman after my own heart - to some extent! I can never keep up with the laundry and I hate doing the dishes. BUT, maybe your hubby is just trying to give you a break. Maybe he sees how hard you're working and thinks that this will give you some relief.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I don't know you or your hubby :) BUT, either way, I hope it works out and I enjoyed reading your blog!

I would...I'd be too scared she'd think we are pigs (which we are) and think awful thoughts while she scrubs hubby's mis-fires off the toilet (which he does) or the fridge I like to grow green things in (they are there).<BR/><BR/>Hey....maybe if you start letting your girl poop on the baseboards the maid will quit? You can just shrug your shoulders and shake your head at hubby..."I dunno...she just started crying and ran out the front door.

I had a friend in high school who's parents had a maid, and she said they would use toilet water to mop the floors as a short cut. And seriously, the privacy issue would just be too much for me to handle. I don't get it all done either, it's so never-ending you know, always a dirty dish or a load of laundry to do (didn't I just wash these???) but there are really more important things to do than spend all my time cleaning. This was one of my favorite poems when my daughter was little and I still think about it now:<BR/><BR/>Cleaning and scrubbing can wait for tomorrow,<BR/>For babies grow up, I've learned, to my sorrow.<BR/>So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust, go to sleep.<BR/>I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep.<BR/><BR/>Maybe she's not a baby but I'd rather watch a movie or play a game with her than put away the clean dishes any day of the week. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure your husband is just trying to give you a break. Enjoy it and spent that time with your girl.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18353422618806779674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618963181449655124.post-57283286612271996672008-06-20T20:10:00.000-05:002008-06-20T20:10:00.000-05:00Honey, if he's going to pay for it, take the deal....Honey, if he's going to pay for it, take the deal.
