Even with six people living in the house, I still have a maid come in every two weeks to do a deep cleaning. Best money my wife and I spend. So worth it and in the end gives us more time to have family time. Win-Win.
I lived alone for 5 years, the last 1 1/2 with a steady girlfriend who lived with her parents. She never stayed during the week and on weekends I spent more time across the river at her folks house then she did at my place.
Even when we got engaged, she stayed with her folks. After we got married, I shut the place down, sold all my stuff and we rented an apartment where we bought the minimal to get us started.
Been married 25 years to that lovely gal.
Especially with six people in the house having help come in was prime.
You’re making me jealous ;). Eight people in the house...I’m the maid.
