Don’t you think having a cleaning lady/guy at your house is bad education?

Lmfao.....THATS a good one....! I would happily pay someone to do the things that I do not want to take time to do. 1) i work my silly ass off to make more money to “buy time”. The hours I would spend cleaning the house, mowing the lawn, changing the oil is time I get to spend with my family which is most important to me. I “buy” my time back for THE most important things. Do you really think teaching your kid how to vacuum behind the couch or change the oil is better than teaching him how to appreciate others by you and he volunteering someplace or spending some good quality time together as a family? 2) if you think hiring someone creates spoiled brats, you better check your parenting skills. That has Nothing to do with it unless you believe reality tv or...you yourself are a bad example of laziness. Set a great example for your kids by working hard, making bunches of bank while you spend good quality time with them and help them become great people. Try that one out and see how it works out.....

They see themselves and their parents not maintaining their own private environment. I think cleaning the place you live in by yourself is one of life’s requirements (even if you have money to pay someone to do it) like being able to make your own food, wash your own clothes. By having some to clean your own private mess, children grow up to be spoiled lazy brats, and it gives a message to them that they are not responsible for the mess they make. Obviously I’m not referring to old people or handicapped people who cannot physically do it.

You sound horribly jealous of those better off than you.

Having a cleaning person come to your house sets a bad example for your kids. These kids grow up privileged and become little ANTIFA punks because they never learned to care or work for anything. Make a mess? No worries we pay someone else to clean it up.

Personally, yes. I think it's lazy.

That being said, if the opportunity cost is too high, the waters get a bit muddy.

Plus, it's always good to employ another person.

I'm generally against it, though, because it absolutely spoils the kids.

agree-growing up my parents were both professionals, and any spare time that they had was probably more valuable taking us to races/events rather than cleaning a room...time is money; that being said when I was broke in college, I cleaned my apartment regularly; Once my wife and I started in our careers with young kids, where free time is at a premium, we would rather take my kids out on the weekend than clean toilets; Life comes full circle--with COVID-19 we are keeping our housecleaner away for at least 6 months since I work as a physician-good for my kids to see me clean showers and we each do our own bathrooms lol!

time is money....

I believe that if people hire a cleaning company, then they really need it. I myself am one of such people, so I want to share my experience with you. In fact, I spend a lot of time at work, so I just don't have time to clean the house. I believe that the fact that I am often not at home will harm my child much more than if someone is cleaning my house. Of course, I try to spend as much time with my son as possible, but this does not always work out. Also, it is worth teaching your child to maintain cleanliness in his room, as this can be motivated by something (Think of yourself how to motivate him, you are also parents). If a child is properly brought up, then cleaning companies will not harm him. Especially if they do it well. For example, like shineupcleaning. I have been using the services of this company for several years and they have never let me down. These are very responsible guys. If anyone needs a cleaning company, then contact them :)

Where can I find some more feedback?

A very interesting topic to think about. You know, I think a house cleaner can't teach your kids bad things, like laziness, or not cleaning up after themselves. It's up to you how you present it to the children. My house is regularly cleaned by a cleaning company, whose services I order on the site https://mymaid.co.nz/house-cleaning/ and the children once asked me: why does someone else's aunt clean our house?? I said that my aunt helps my mother so that my mother can spend more time with you and enjoy life. I teach my children that you need to clean up after yourself, but for large cleaning, you can call professionals so you can spend your time with your family.

I agree with you. After all, it all depends on how you present it to children.

I raised two kids in that environment.

Both went to the best colleges (one is still in college) in their field. They work especially hard at what they do. One of them likes to keep things very clean and organized and the other not so much. It's just who they are. Neither have a cleaner yet because they can't afford that.

Both hope to work hard in their field of work to be able to afford service providers like cleaners, landscape companies, etc... so they can spend time with their families and working hard at what they specialize in for a career.

I see your point but there are many ways to look at this that does not necessarily mean that you are creating laziness.

Honestly, before the cleaners come we are organizing our stuff. While they were growing up my kids did not even want them in their rooms at all. One used to lock her door to her room to keep them out. Her choice, not ours.

I don’t think it is bad education having this woman or man who cleans up your house. There are situation when both of the husbands are working every day, and cleaning can be more exhausting. In this case, it is good having a person who helps you with that. I don’t have such a person, but when I understand that I don’t have time and desire for the general cleaning, I call at a good home cleaning service that do their job perfectly.

i heard about them

I think that it isn't a bad education. Most of all in my life, I hate cleaning and washing dishes, which is why I often use services End of Tenancy Cleaning Near Me https://endoftenancycleaningnearme.co.uk/areas/tooting/ and I can safely recommend them to you, since this digger definitely knows a lot about cleaning. Prices vary depending on the area of the room to be cleaned, so you will need to check this issue with the company's Manager. And of course they are strictly following the precautions in this quarantine. In my opinion, this year cleaning companies have become even more popular than before.

We have a cleaning lady come every other week. It’s something we do to maintain our sanity as my wife and I both work full time. The kids still get plenty of chances to clean, but it gives my wife peace of mind to not have to do the big clean every other week. If your wife made $250k a year, you would have someone else clean your house as well, so you can spend more of your free time enjoying life.

I have a bamboo floor personally, it is to be understood that finding a good cleaner is extremely difficult. I can therefore say for myself that the list of these products needs to be studied, as I have done myself. I recommend that the cleaner for bamboo hardwood floors https://cleaningproductslab.com/best-cleaner-for-bamboo-floors/ is available here, therefore. I am very happy I have found them, so I have already been able to find the right ones.

I think everyone can a agree that an extra hour a doctor spends working is better for everybody involved rather than an hour spent cleaning their house. However, is that most people? F*ck no. You are talking about the top 1% of income earners. For most others, don't be a lazy f*ck and clean your own house.

I read your posts and it's just some nonsense! If people have money and can afford a housekeeper, what's the problem? This is not a crime, because these people create "job positions of employment" in the labor market. Housekeepers have the opportunity to earn extra money. Why do people who have housekeepers (even if they do not work as doctors/surgeons/firefighters, etc.) can be considered bad educated? They don't keep housekeepers as slaves. This is all on a voluntary basis. I don't have a housekeeper myself, but I often call the cleaning company https://www.emop.co.uk/north-london-cleaner and a woman comes to clean up within 2 hours.
