My husband and I are working in tandem to clean the house. We are suppose to hire a cleaner to clean the house but we cannot get any. Most of them have schedule already. I just borrowed my sister-in-laws vacuum and now almost half the house is done. And I am mylotting when I can while cleaning. This is my break. How are you tonight/today?

Sounds like a teamwork there. My hubby is at work even on holidays sadly. When he is home he is a couch potato because he is exhausted. But he still cooks for me, he hates washing the dishes, so I did them today.

@rakski Yes I did and then I washed the floor, it is incredible how difficult it is to get rid of flour.

I don't like this topic, waheehee. I am surely lucky that we have the housemaids to do that chore.

@rakski just twice a month huh. That means you have to do the cleaning every day like sweeping the floor.

Thanks for reminding me to start the New Year cleaning. My house is dusty and cluttered. Glad you and your husband teamed up, and did not let the other do all the work. That is the meaning of marriage, the two working as one, each helping the other. Congratulations on you both for this domestic achievement. Never mind the cleaners, your home is much better with your loving touch.

@rakski I grew up with househelps but I never did hire one for my own. My children do the domestic chores if they mess things up. I do believe that family need to help each other in the house cleaning. It's a bonding thing. Way to go for you two.

@eileenleyva same with me. I grew up with a helper but my grandma still taught us how to do chores. My kids are learning now the basics.

we gave up having a maid and nanny 7 years ago and we are doing fine. we always clean the house most especially before new year, we remove clutters and broken things or stuff that we will not be using

Enjoy your break from cleaning. My cleaning lady is up north, so my husband helps me clean every day. He vacuums and washes the floors. I do everything else.

I'm at work and now I took a break to check Mylot . We used to do that too, but it takes too long to clean the house and we always end up exhausted. Now we have someone that comes to our house to clean it once a month and we pay only 30$. Money well spent .

@rakski well, this month we didn't call her, we managed to do it ourselves. Mainly because our kid was with his grandparents .
