<p>If people want to pay others to clean up their messes, I have no problem with that. I certainly would not pay for someone to clean my DD’s room or do her laundry, dishes, etc. She’s capable and, busy as she may be, can make time to do those menial tasks. She lives in the language house on campus with seven other students. They take turns cooking dinner … those who don’t cook clean the dishes. She cleans her own room, does her own laundry, etc. and I haven’t heard her complain yet. Of course, she’s not doing anything more than she was doing at home. </p>
<p>There are times when I wish I had someone clean my house, but the truth is, I just don’t need it. I work a full-time job, but I do have time to keep up the housework, too. I’ve been trying to train DH for 25 years to pick up after himself, but he still needs frequent reminders. The difference between us is that I grew up cleaning my own room and doing household chores along with the rest of my family members. My husband grew up in a family where someone cleaned up behind them. We don’t share the same work ethic when it comes to the family home and I guess I can’t really blame him for that. He is still a work in progress, though he has improved a LOT over the years.</p>
