Can't be arsed doing housework

[HettyMeg]

I am just back at work four days a week after mat leave, husband works full time.

I do not want to spend our weekends cleaning. I want us to spend time together as a family. We are both burnt out every eve from working and having young child.

The bare minimum gets done - bathrooms wiped down every couple of weeks. Hoover downstairs once a week, upstairs once every several weeks (!). Wipe down kitchen surfaces a few times a day, as I'm still a germaphobe despite my slovenliness. Washing is mostly dealt with.

However we have dispensed of dusting, ironing and the floors are not mopped regularly.

Am I being unreasonable?

Definitely get a cleaner!

I enjoy ironing. I listen to rock music (the beat makes me iron faster)and daydream. I absolutely detest vacuuming, mainly because I cannot stand the noise it makes but do it a couple of times a week. I keep things ticking over then about once a month I go into a cleaning frenzy for a couple of days. Difficult when you have a young child, though. Keep looking for a cleaner. Fingers crossed.
