There are drawbacks to having a cleaning lady. I was brought up with live in help as a child, and don't have a clue how to clean.. It probably takes me twice as long as someone that was brought up with chores.. My mom, and dad worked full time, and wanted the weekends to do fun stuff with us.. We also went to private school, and didn't get home until 5:00.. I figured out how to do the laundry, as an adult when I moved out.. I'm now in my fifties, and am ready to have one help..
