This is just something that bugs me about this site. Every time there is a thread about the etiquette of employing a housecleaner, whatever the question is, someone invariably says 'clean your own house'. Why is that? It is so utterly bizarre, nobody would say 'do your own plumbing' 'do your own plastering' or even 'do your own garden' so why is it seen as so odd to have a cleaner!? I have a cleaner, everyone I know has a cleaner. It is only on this site that that is seen as out of the ordinary.
AIBU?
Am I being unreasonable?

You think it’s seen as odd on mumsnet to have a cleaner?! Are you kidding??
Its much more common for posters to be advising some person clearly on the bones of their arse to get a cleaner ðŸ«

And? I assure you that lots of people do. Do you resent people who can afford paid help?

Do you know anyone who is a cleaner? It's just a job and can be outsourced like any other task such as gardening or car maintenance. I had a cleaner for a couple of hours a week when I was working. I also know a retired teacher who does cleaning because she likes it. There's no shame either way.
