DP and I can be quite messy. both of us work long hours and by the time we get in we just never feel up to cleaning up.
The other problem I have is when I do spend time cleaning up (as I did the other evening) I come home from work to find what I have done has been left in a shit state again.
I'm guilty too of course but I feel like it's gone way too far. The house is terrible. We have a five year old and small pets and I'm starting to think I'm not cut out for this adulthood malarkey.
I mentioned to DP that it would be easier if we just got a cleaner in for two hours a week to take the pressure off us. Even an hour.
DP won't have it and insists we should do it ourselves instead of paying for it. We should! But we don't. And I am fed up with living in such a craphole.
Would IBU to just pay for the cleaner myself once and see how it goes? I have finally bagged myself a day off this week (after two months of not having any off) so I figured I'm going to take the plunge, tidy what I can and get a cleaner in for an hour or two to finish it off.
Should I? Or would I be asking for an argument?
I don't want my first day off in what feels like forever to be tidying but I feel like this would be a good compromise.
