Do you have a maid?

[Deleted]

Alot of my colleagues have maids. Because with 2 fully employed people, kids and whatnot they cba to do the dishes, vacuum, etc.
They pay about 150 euro's a month for one (shes there like 4h a week) and it seems pretty neat. I was actually surprised how common it was.

Looking at how often we fight about who has to do what (protip: I work 45h and you work 38 therfor you should put in 7h more in household choirs is NOT a valid argument) and knowing you can just go home and everythings neat and dandy sounds great. So i sure as hell am considering it.

So do you have a maid? Why?

[Darsithis]

We have a service that comes in and cleans every two weeks, but that's it. I do my own laundry and dishes.

If you have enough money for a maid you have too much money.

Yeah, my girlfriend.

jk I don't have a girlfriend.

[Mitters]

I'm not rich, so, no.

[Ciddy]

I do all of my own housecleaning, but then I'm also single and have no kids. So it's not too huge of a job in my case.

I have a housekeeper that comes every 2 weeks. Best money I ever spent. I think it would take me 2-3 times as long to do what she does and I'd rather play video games instead.

Spending 150 euro's a month isnt rich.

Yeah. She comes once every two weeks, takes around 2 hours to clean the whole place.

There's 6 apartments here so we initially pitched in to get the hallway/stairs cleaned, decided to hire her.

I think it's definitely worth it, I'd rather work for a few hours to pay her than clean the place myself. It's just twice a month and only dusting/floors/surfaces though, so it's not like I don't have to clean at all.

That's more than my rent when I had an apt.

Lot of people wind up marrying their maids.

[Dread Pirate Phayde]

No, my parents raised me to clean up after myself, I can't imagine ever needing a maid past my girlfriend having the costume.

If you have enough money for a maid you have too much money.

My arrangement doesn't cost me more than $80 a month.

.. What? Was this in 1950? Where are you from?

A student dorm costs 250 at LEAST here. And im not talking about Amsterdam.

[unfilteredJW]

I'm about one more client away from one. Stoked.

And I'm talking cleaning service, not live in crazy butler stuff.

Though if I win the lottery, I'll be hiring a stern matronly female butler.

Might as well hire a maid to deal with that excess than lol

That's way more reasonable than 150 euros a month.

[Medusa Cascade]

Does going to a maid café count?

I had my exchange rate off and the euro has fallen in relation to the dollar, but my old apt was like 300 bucks.
