    I work a full time job and while I can say that I wouldn't turn down a maid if one were given to me, I don't usually mind doing all the house/kid work. I am a pretty traditional person.

    You expect a man to pimp his ride. Why don't you expect and demand that he pimp his crib?

    I am a full time working single mom. I feel like I'm failing at life most days. I need an Alice.

    I'd be your Alice, I damn sure would.

    Will I have to wear a blue dress and a white apron?



    *please say yes.

    My husband would be insulted if I tried to prevent him from cleaning/keeping up with his own house. He has actually stopped me from cleaning and shoo'd me away so he could do it instead while insisting I go relax. I will always accept the chance to read one of my books instead of doing dishes, lol.

    (I married a man that likes to cook and clean thanks to how his mother raised him, but whatever works for your relationship dynamic. :) )

    Heck, I like to clean and I especially like to tackle laundry.



    * I don't do windows

    My husband is a clean freak. We both fold laundry and clean the house equally.

    As others have said, do what works. We both work full time. She probably does 60/40 (she might say 70/30), but I also handle all the cars/lawn/etc. 99% of the time if she asks me to do something I jump up and do it. She makes a great home for us. Plus she can decorate, which I cannot.

    I have so much *kitten* too do I don't know how I can keep doing it. At this point I need a maid and a nanny. Or some clones.

    I work 1 full time job, a part time job and have a side job. I am up from 5am to 12am. I have to take my kid to hockey nearly every morning. Between him and I we are are busy 7 nights a week with sports, dance and fitness classes. Then I have to take care of the house and be a mother.

    I know I should be counting my blessings but lately I just feel like I am drowning.

    Honestly I read that and think..."What's my excuse for not working out? She's running a madhouse and still gets workouts in". You sounds like a badass :)

    Right? She makes me feel like a lazy *kitten* lol. My husband and I both hate cleaning, which isn't good when you can't afford a maid. Our apartment is generally a bit messy, although we make sure it never gets to actually being dirty because, you know, ewww. :#

    I have an Alice...I call her Unice but she only comes every other week

    I'm a spoiled housewife and don't like to clean so we have a housekeeper. I cook the meals and drink the wine but I love cooking so I would anyway and I do the laundry because I don't like how anyone else doe sit but we could get Unice to do it if we wanted to.

    I get to stay home, because I'm not good at getting along with others and I wouldn't make enough money to make working worthwhile, I take the boy to his activities so that we can have our weekends free to do family stuff.

    I also get to have time for my fun stuff like skating and curling and drinking wine at the club with friends

    I'm not as spoiled as many I know at the club who stay home and have nannies!!!

    I get that I'm spoiled but I do lots around the house, just not cleaning. I can't tell you the last time I cleaned a toilet and I remember when I did I had to ask someone what kind of cleaner I had to use.
