Aibu to consider getting a cleaner with 2 days off work?

[Advice5]

Reposted sorry as title didn't appear!

Aibu to consider getting a cleaner? I work part time, have 2 days off. I have 3 kids all are now in school. My husband works long hours and I do all domestic chores, all pick ups drop offs, cooking, the mental load of what kids need etc seeing to there needs mainly myself during the week due to long hours husband works. I do not expect my husband to do more due to how we have split responsibilities across everything so not asking for input regarding this. I have a large house 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, 2 sitting rooms. I am considering getting a cleaner as I feel exhausted, thinking I would be a better person for it at home and it would give me some breathing space. Aibu to do this considering I have 2 days off? I wouldn't give everything to the cleaner to do just things like bathrooms, and some of the floors bit of dusting so would still be doing some stuff myself. Anyone got any experience of having one in this situation? Anyone who has cleaners do partial cleaning? How did it improve your life if so?

How does your husband feel about this

If he doesn't do any cleaning is it his business?

Hell yes.

I prefer to maximise the amount of time and energy I have available for my family. You're on the right track with the thoughts of 'being a better you if less tired'. It's the you that's important.

I literally see it as a trade off between time, money, energy. You can get more of one by using one of the others.

I like a clean tidy house, but I love my family. They're my joy, my enthusiasm, my interest. The more I put in, the more I get out.

Same can't be said for my kitchen floor.

At my funeral I hope they talk about all the energy and enthusiasm I had as a mother, not the energy and enthusiasm I put into having a spotless house.

I work part-time, 2 kids, and have fairly recently had a cleaner start. I regret not starting it sooner.

Keeping a family house that size clean would be like a job, and one that I wouldn't particularly want. It's like the size of a small GP/ dentist? Anyway, I would definitely outsource the actual cleaning or it won't get done properly/frequently enough and will look dingy eventually. I would absolutely love a cleaner!

Good point thank you x

I hate cleaning and would keep mine even if I worked part time. Potentially even if I didn't work! Provided I could afford it

He's very supportive and said I should get one if that's what I need

If you can afford it why not? I work part time, husband long hours and it makes our life so much easier. I hate cleaning so to have bathrooms, dusting, hoovering done adds a lot to my quality of life.

The moral superiority on this thread… wow. I’ve had a cleaner for years, pre kids, on mat leave, and now I’m back at work. Best money I spend, I hate cleaning and you don’t get a prize for scrubbing your own toilet! You don’t have to justify it, fuck all the judgemental women on this thread who exercise 5 times a week, cook from scratch, work full time, have sex nightly and do their own cleaning. Because life is too short! Outsource what you need to.
