the lady of the house has a role to play just like your hubby (the bread earner) perhaps this is your role not a stranger to do it for you , you are lazy, my wife did the cleaning cooking , ironing and bring up 3 kids and held an evening job down aswell when i worked 12 hour shifts

I believe the OP works a full time job as well as her lesser half.

I made the classic mistake of focussing entirely on `us' & then he began focussing on `him' - alot of women make this mistake unfortunately. Please mothers MAKE your sons pull their weight when growing up - otherwise some poor woman will struggle when they become adults.

Likewise for daughters - its isn't inbuilt at birth you know

Hope you find happiness

Ok, I think I've got it BF in your words lazy, inconsiderate and wants someone to it for him, whilst you hate cleaning and spend most of your time arguing about it, yet you both live in a small flat I assume no children and you both work, the question being is "if you dont like being treated this way, why on earth are you still with him"?

I have a cleaner who comes from a local agency, and I pay £19 per week including agency fee.

My partner and I both work long hours and the last thing I want to do is spend weekends cleaning.

We make sure the house is tidy and relatively clutter free to make sure she can concentrate on the things that are important to us i.e dusting, polishing surfaces, cleaning bathrooms, mopping the floors (kitchen, hall, living rooms), vacuuming carpets.

I would do without a lot of things, before I would lose my cleaner.

Reading this thread with interest, I am a working mum of 2 small boys and as of last week I have been asked to go from part time to full time and have considered a cleaner.

I want to spend my days off with my kids and not cleaning, and at the same time can be quite OCD with my home so feel this would make me feel so much more relaxed, however Im in SW Scotland and there just doesnt seem to be a huge demand for this type of thing as I am struggling to find some local to even get a quote.

They're a franchise and are all over the place.

My friend had them once and never would again so don't sign up until you've given your local ones a try-out.
