Your time is more valuable than cleaning and that will be even more true once your little one is here. I loved cleaning and was sad to admit I finally was ready for help but I'm so glad I did it! They won't ever clean exactly like you would but it's still 1000% worth it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4265503242081752766.post-67302532347755025722011-09-07T22:00:31.443-04:002011-09-07T22:00:31.443-04:00Blue is just like that when it comes to cleaning. ...Blue is just like that when it comes to cleaning. I'm the one who keeps up the house on a regular basis but when he gets to something, it's cleaned like it's never been cleaned before. But he's too cheap to ever suggest a cleaning service. LOL. Consider yourself lucky! Seriously though you can't do it all and a cleaning service will go a long way to helping you keep some sanity when the baby is born, not to mention relieving the stress and worrying. And with the meals you cook up, no one will be taking the title of domestic diva from you anytime soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4265503242081752766.post-91084389430014536782011-09-07T19:40:48.407-04:002011-09-07T19:40:48.407-04:00I say by all means let him hire someone and you ca...I say by all means let him hire someone and you can sit back and enjoy any time you have not working.

I think he just wants everything to be perfect, and for neither of you to have to worry about it once she arrives. Try to see it as a blessing in disguise=)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08304015627070680659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4265503242081752766.post-4397838706498556412011-09-07T13:02:09.311-04:002011-09-07T13:02:09.311-04:00This is really funny.

Daily. But I just don't. I thought my DH and I had worked out an understanding that there were some things worth fretting over and some things that we could let slide, and that having an immaculate, sterile house was in the second category. I keep our present rental cleaner than I have ever kept anything (and ten million times cleaner than his bachelor apartment, which was UNSANITARY). Concededly, I'm not the most diligent housekeeper. But our home has never - EVER - had a floor you can't see for the stuff dropped there, or sheets unwashed for months, or dirty dishes spilling out of the sink, or trash spilling onto the floor. And I know for a lot of single folk (including me, in college), that was normal - and none of us died even from that. So in my view, I'm keeping up as well as necessary. But my DH is a little like yours - when he gets on a cleaning kick (annually, maybe?), he takes things apart to clean them. And he regularly suggests that we have someone in to clean the house, too! But I am not as flexible as you - I won't even consider it. I'm not trying to attack anyone else who does, but for me it is not negitiable. Not while my DH schedules our weekend and non-work time overwhelmingly for leisure activities even when I regularly tell him we should spend Saturday morning in and clean. I don't know whether this would change if I were expecting a baby, but I imagine I would become even more difficult :).the misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05206278843624907697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4265503242081752766.post-55592131628761356282011-09-07T12:45:15.134-04:002011-09-07T12:45:15.134-04:00I seriously thought I was the only person with thi...I seriously thought I was the only person with this problem. I work from home also but my job is very demanding (daycare provider for 6 littles under the age of 3...) so I don't always get done what I want to get done...<br />I think the majority of the fights DH and I have are about this... I feel like I'm not doing my job when he comes home from his job and spends an hour cleaning something I didn't even think needed cleaning! He thinks he's being helpful...I find it annoying! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4265503242081752766.post-35534636123700657052011-09-07T12:30:54.071-04:002011-09-07T12:30:54.071-04:00Bwahahaha.

I am a SAHM, but my house is still not exactly sparkling... though it IS clean.... just not always AS clean as he thinks it should be... especially since I've been on bed rest. Oye. Don't feel bad, and yes cleaning with a newborn is a little overwhelming... at least it was for me after a c-section. So I say, TAKE HIM UP ON IT!!! No guilt.Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120459484825947654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4265503242081752766.post-33671881591800721362011-09-07T11:50:35.314-04:002011-09-07T11:50:35.314-04:00LOL - okay, it sounds like you and I clean to the ...LOL - okay, it sounds like you and I clean to the same level with the same frequency, and our husbands have both come to the same conclusion.
