A bi-weekly house cleaner. Saved my marriage!
- haolez 2y agoDid that a decade ago and it saved my marriage as well :D I'd lived alone before marrying and I did all my chores, but my tolerance for messy stuff until I got to action was way more than my wife's.
- asyx 2y agoI don’t think people talk about this enough. You can be the poster boy for modern men doing all the chores and taking care of your household all on your own without wife or mother around and a 1950s nuclear family house wife would be proud af. You are still going to get into arguments if your idea of what „clean and tidy“ means is different from the definition of your partner.
- littlestymaar 2y agoAnd when you have a house cleaner you always have a third party that's responsible for every issue: “that's the house cleaner's fault” (my in-laws have one and I'm pretty sure she's not responsible for a quarter of what gets attributed to her, otherwise she'd have gotten fired long ago)
- dvfjsdhgfv 2y agoFully agree. This crucial bit of information should be spelled out to young people as not everybody realizes that (soon enough).
- ranger_danger 2y agoThe biggest thing that changed my life wasn't a purchase, but randomly going down a philosophy rabbit hole on wikipedia one day after looking up different "razors" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_razor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_razor). One of the first things I learned was that most arguments in life seem to be mainly due to differences in people's definition of subjective terms, and not understanding how to communicate well enough to figure that out and then do something useful about it.
- high_byte 2y agothese are all great I love that I can now just refer to the razors by name
- Loic 2y agoThis! My tolerance was also just above my wife's. We will never go back to not having someone helping us.
- mywacaday 2y agoSame here, we got weekly and its done on a Friday. forces you to tidy so cleaning can be done properly and then your house is clean and tidy for the weekend.
- geek_at 2y agoHaha same. Well worth the 80€/clean
