to think that a SAHP of school aged children really doesn't need a cleaner.

[leeds79]

I know of a few mums at school who have 2/3 dc who are school aged. Neither work but they they still have a cleaner. Obv know its their choice but it does seem crazy to me.

None of your business.

I could do with a cleaner, all my kids are at ft school....however I am v v v lazy :o

Jel much?

YABU

Presumably they hate cleaning? It could be that simple.

jealous?

I am a SAHP or school children. I loathe cleaning but I do my own. If I had the money, I would TOTALLY be up for paying a cleaner with no feelings of guilt whatsoever. And a cook. And gardener.

Perhaps what I need is a house-elf

And it's your concern because? Apart from that unattractive simmering jealousy of course.............

OF not or

it is indeed crazy

it's what's sent this country to the wall after all

they might just want a cleaner OP. Maybe they have better things to do and can afford it

What Constance said! I'd do it too
The only reason I don't have a cleaner is I work different days/shifts every week so it'd be a pain to organise

they may not need a cleaner, but they may want a cleaner. Cleaning is much nicer when it is done by someone else I find.

yabu I hate cleaning, would love a cleaner

I wouldnt have tought so but their choice, a family friend used to have a pro. window cleaner come round to clean the windows in her living room doors

now thats lazy!

I'd bloody love one.

Pure envy. If I could get away with being a SAHP of children who weren't there all the time, AND pay someone else to keep the house clean, I'd be happy as a pig in a sty someone else has cleaned of any trace of shit

I'd love a cleaner - I really would. I think it might actually complete my life.

It would also mean that some actual cleaning went on in this house!

I'm a SAHM with school age children and if I had the money I'd get a cleaner too

It's something I hate doing so why not?

Personally I'm not a 'handbag and shoes' person but I know plenty of people who are.

It's their money so let them spend it on what they like.

You are jealous.
I don't need a cleaner, but when we move into our new house, I'll be getting one.

I'll be getting a gardner too?

So nerr nerr

I don´t work, my children are at school, & I´d have a cleaner if I could afford it.

Maybe their cleaners are really grateful for the work?

Maybe the £50 per week or whatever isn't a big deal for the cleanee, but a very, very big deal for the cleaner.

So everyone's happy ... except you.

i need a cleaner because i am shit at cleaning.

No one NEEDS a cleaner, unless perhaps they are physically incapable of cleaning. Many people prefer to outsource their cleaning though as it is tremendously boring and quite time-consuming. Hth.

LOL spooks

I´m not shit at it-I just hate doing it!

Unfortunately, there doesn´t seem to be any correlation between not doing the cleaning & being able to afford a cleaner
