Woohoo! No more cleaning!

[Andres]

As I said, I'm not judging anyone, it's just something that sits in me. Perhaps I should just go to my room and whip myself until I no longer have these silly ideas. If I look hard enough, I can probably find someone I can pay to whip me.

I hire people to do work on my house as well. My wife and I used to do everything ourselves, but at a certain point our time became more valuable to us than our money.

Funny how in the end, we both come to the same conclusion. Both my wife and I have concluded that combining full time jobs with family life and doing everything ourselves is sheer idiocy. But instead of hiring people to clean, we'll probably decide to go work less (after all, cleaning only takes an hour or so (most likely because we both hate cleaning and are easily satisfied; hygiene is overrated).

By my own logic, ideas and viewpoints, we're lazy

Do you think I am disconnected?

When was the last time you cleaned a toilet?


After re-reading my previous posts, I do sound a bit like some grumpy old dude rambling about lazy youngsters no longer cleaning their own houses and mowing their own lawns...

I tidy it up whenever I cause a particular mess, but the last time I cleaned and scrubbed it was nearly four years ago, since that's how long I've had a housekeeper. Is that your only standard of judgment? Do you care about how much ironing I do? How much cooking and dish washing? Gardening? Picking up dog poop? Fixing problems on the Org?

As I said, I'm not judging anyone and I do realise it may very well just be me being prejudiced and having weird ideas

I'll suppress my curiosity about how much kilograms dog poop you pick up a week and will start searching for someone willing to whip me until I see the error of my ways at 50€/hour.

He's a small dog, so not so much on the weight value. I generally pick up poop at least once a day though. The dog walker is only to give the fuzzy guy some exercise while we're at work.

Your dog walker is fuzzy?

Yes, he's got a significant beard.

Which he could use to scrub... Ehm, yes.
