Look at that! You've got two cleaners right there! On-site, nonetheless! Put those slackers to work and you'll have a clean house in no time.

Agreed.
Plus I'm way too northern and working class to feel comfortable about hiring someone to clean my house, the spirit of my Grandma would come along and whack me round the earhole with a wet dishcloth and tell me to start scrubbing the front step.

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.

Lazy cow!

Actually, I go back and forth on this. My hubby's good at helping out, so with both of us doing the "big stuff" once a week, it doesn't take too long and it seems silly to spend the $100 it would probably cost to clean our house. On the flip side, life's too short to be spending time cleaning!

Anyway with four kids in the house, it's the constant daily cleaning that really takes the biggest toll in time. The laundry, clean up after meals, etc. I've finally got them cleaning up all the crumbs they leave on the floor after eating - little piggies!

Teenagers will FIND something to whinge about anyway. If they want money for the cinema or a ride to a friend's they had better make a contribution around the house.

Little kids usually LOVE to help and if you get them child sized tools like a wee mop they learn early on that housework is part of the normal routine.
