This house is a BIG pain in the ass to clean, and I sooooo hate cleaning. It's almost 4,000 sf (and that does not include the garage and stairs). It takes 2 people 3-4 hours to do it, and they aren't taking care of 2 kids while doing it. ARRRGGGG!
Hubby suddenly decided not to hire a new person because we've had such trouble keeping someone reliable. I think he decided this because HE won't have to do a damn thing. I have no help with the kids, we have no family nearby or anyone we trust with them and the hubby works a lot of hours. I'm really kinda freaking out. He is very messy, and the laundry alone takes me an hour or more a day. Add to that the 1-2 hours of picking up and cooking I do every day. Without the house to take care of I've got 2-3 hours a day of cleaning to do.
Am I just being spoiled and lazy????![]()
On top of this stress my family is acting like I was being unreasonable for letting her go. I don't know why, they don't even know her, but it seems like they will side with anyone over me.
Hell, we let her go because she hadn't been changing the beds, or cleaning 3 sitting rooms, the sunroom, office, or the dining room. That's a lot of shit we were paying her to do that she wasn't doing! She actually took the clean sheets that I laid out for her last week and wadded them up and put them on the bottom of the laundry basket, then made the bed up so I couldn't tell until she was gone, WTF was she thinking.Then when we mentioned it she argued like crazy.
This wouldn't bother me to bad, but she always tried to make me feel like my house was a disaster anyway. Every other cleaning person we had commented on how neat I am, but not her. So we paid her extra to deal with my clutter and sloppy ways. I feel like she was just showing up to collect my money and then heading out as fast as she could. Last week she even smarted off to me about not tearing the check out fast enough!![]()
So any advice on how to clean this place quickly?
Was I being a spoiled bitch?
Thoughts?
Any ideas on how to convince hubby I really do need help?



Then when we mentioned it she argued like crazy.

I laughed at him for weeks over that one. (I HAD a maid then, so it was funny.)
I would actually do the hula
if he managed to get a glass in the sink. Hell, if it went in the dishwasher I'd probably have a stroke.
I TRY to start earlier, but I find like about a thousand other things to do.... Like play on SW.
