Am I the laziest person on the planet for not wanting to spend all my time cleaning 3 bathrooms or is it o.k?
Where I'm from only rich, posh people have them so in the back of my mind it doesn't feel right but I bloody hate cleaning, I've got better things to do with my time..can't think what they are, but I have.

I only ask out of jealousy really. I'm hardly ever home these days. I have two kids that are like walking cyclones, I work, was in graduate school as well... but had to drop out a couple weeks ago for medical reasons,... traded that for daily treatments and diagnostic testing... AND I have to deal with the moron (thats a full time job in itself). I don't think I'd like the idea of someone else going through my things and folding my underwear. I think I'd be the type to clean the house before the maid came to clean the house. But sitting here looking around the house at the contents of two toy boxes spread from one end of the house to the other, the dinner dishes still sitting on the counter, clutter everywhere, laundry unfolded and suitcases half packed .... the more I think its a great idea. You may have talked me into it. I'll make him get a weekend job so I can afford it.... but then again,... I only have 2 bathrooms, so maybe not. LOL!!

Obviously I don't clean the bathrooms every day, although my daughters needs fumigating on a daily basis, LOL, the other jobs that need doing such as mopping the kitchen/family room floor take just as long to be done properly so if I did it all as often as I should do it, I'd never leave the flaming house, hence my need for a cleaner.
And yes when you have a cleaner you also keep the house tidier, when I had one back in England when I was still working, I was that person that used to clean up before the cleaner came..she was my mums best friend though, so I didn't want her to tell my mum the kind of pig stye I lived in..
