To want to get a cleaner?

I only have a two bed but I find it so hard to keep on top of! I work from home but have quite a demanding job working 12/13 hours some days and I try to do bits and pieces before and after but it doesn’t leave me much time especially with cooking and cleaning up before bed each night. I feel like I should be able to easily do a 2 bed house but it’s just such a struggle, I feel like I spend all of my weekends cleaning and tidying.

I’d just want someone to do the bathrooms (I’ve got a downstairs toilet and two bathrooms), the kitchen and just general dusting and cleaning. I hoover every day and tidy up as I go as I’ve got two cats and my DSS so it’s just a good clean every two weeks I’d need. My DP thinks it’d be a bit lazy but he also works FT and doesn’t do much either except the odd bit of hoovering so I’m ignoring him haha.

AIBU? Am I just lazy?

Of course you’re lazy cos he’s not the default person that’s expected to clean so he can’t see the problem!!!

love my cleaner.

Sorry should say of course your husband think you’re lazy!

Anyone working full time who can afford a cleaner, absolutely should get one. It’s not even a question in many places around the world.
