Do you manage without a house help?

I do everything, cook, clean, shop, water the lawns and plants as well as take care of a disabled adult child AND I run a profitable business from my home office.

It is all about efficient time management.

We keep things clean and neat, but we do have someone come in once a month to do a deeper clean. She needs the work, and we can afford a couple of hours of her time.

I will never again have someone come into my home to clean it. The first and last time was a disaster

I work full time and during the week I tidy in the evenings where needed. I have 3 boys 17-21 who help with inside and cutting grass/snow removal when they aren’t working/in school. On Saturdays I clean the house. Sundays I get groceries

Yes. And I manage gmaws house aswell, cause she can't do it herself.

Priorities.

I manage fine, but if you saw my house you might think I need a house help! 😜

Almost everyone where I am lives with no house help.

I pick up and clean up as I go, which leaves me with maybe four hours (at most) of dedicated cleaning time once a week. Grocery shopping I do once a week on Friday, usually about 1 in the afternoon. Takes an hour including the round trip to the store.

Gosh, I’ve never had a housekeeper. I remember once for a little while I was falling behind in my homework, so I would pay a neighbor to come over to help me catch up on some stuff, but that was a temporary, brief arrangement.

I do everything.

Maintenance is easier than doing a major clean up. The kitchen and washrooms are cleaned every end of the day. Vaccum every 2 days. Laundry Wed nights (it I have plans for the weekend).

yes
It always has been like this for us

Always have between my wife and I even when we both worked. We just always have a routine we follow.

have a maid service, this house is just to big would spend my entire week cleaning

What is a house help?

Lol yes but I wish I had a maid 🙄

I do everything, have for 40 years

Do we manage? Yes. How? Very shakily.

A house help?

Yes i can manage. I used to manage when i was a student and lived in a rented apartment. And no i never kept it messy. Everything would be at right place and clean. Thats what we were taught in school and at home. Stay organised and planned

I barely do.

Easy.
I do my own laundry, cook my own food and clean my place.

Laundry is the easiest. Just put it in and set a timer.

never had one growing up, don't have one now. You do what you gotta do.

I manage, I do things everyday to keep up with the housework.

Because I do it all myself
