Agreed. Our household balance is great because there’s no resentment. We pay a little higher but worth it to help support someone who we have a great relationship with. While it’s both of our ‘jobs’ to keep the home clean and not be total slobs, my wife covers paying the cleaning lady. She could also choose to clean up and not get a maid, but it works out better this way so she can have more free time to dive into her hobbies since she’s not working at the moment. Plus, she’s an amazing chef so less cleaning and more cooking and quality time spent together!

We do this as well. Twice a month we have a cleaning lady come and help us out. Nobody wants to scrub crap, change sheets all the time, do dishes that eventually pile up, etc. We’ve found it takes us about a week and a half before our regular life starts accumulating (noticeable hair on floor, dishes not being cleaned right away after eating, etc).
