Have you ever had a housekeeper?

No never had a housekeeper - I don't really need one but, I would still rather do everything myself than have a starnger come into my home as I like everything done in a very particular way!

No I have never had a housekeeper. I sometimes wish I did have a housekeeper but as I can not afford to pay for one I will just have to keep doing my own housework.

nope.even if i could afford one,i'm sure they wouldn't stay very long after seeing the mess my family makes.probably run from the house screaming.

I wish! I can't even get the kids to put their plates in the sink! I certainly would love a housekeeper.... as long as someone else is footing the bill.

I personally have never had a housekeeper even though I guess you could say my mother is like the housekeeper lol because she would do the laundry,the cooking,and everything else around the house,and she also worked as a housekeeper for some rich people for a while,and they paid her to do their laundry and basically help them survive because these people were so stupid they would not even know what a trash can was and would leave stuff all over the place,so my mother would have to do everything for them.

how did you manage that? sounds wonderful but no ive never had one. in fact for about 30yrs untill i went into caregiving i was a housekeeper. for condos, motels, and private people it was a tough job and even when i became a caregiver as a result of my housekeeping for an elderly couple, i still had to keep house for them also

Nope never had the means to have one although the thought is nice, I dont think I would like one. I would have to clean before she came to clean! lol I hate a messy house and hate even worse for anyone to see anything not done in my house. But to dream not to have to do dishes or mop or laundry... I could go on and on. LOL!

We had one briefly, since Maggie said the house was so dirty and I was working full time and, even tho I sat all day, I wasn't in the mood to come home and clean to her perfectionistic tastes. THEN she wanted me to clean up BEFORE they came - like, what's the POINT? After they broke the handle on the tub, we stopped them. I would love one, but I don't have one. One of the roomie's cleans the floor, I do the dishes and stuff.

I wish i had the money to be able to afford one! My aunt had one for a while and i thought it was hilarious because she would always tidy up before she came (i dont know if thats expected or what) and make sure most things were all clean...she claimedshe didnt want her to think they were slobs and i thought well you're doing most of the things (like washing floors and cleaning the toilets and dusting) that i thought one had a house keeper to do! What sorts of things did your house keeper do for you?

i've never had a housekeeper before, and at times boy do i wish i had one with two kids a job and now taking up some courses, the weekends have become an all cleaning affair all weekend lol.but hopefuly one when i play the lotto and win lol, i will know what its like to have a house keeper.

Hi, gitfiddleplayer. No I have never had a housekeeper. I can't afford to pay someone to come and clean my home. I live in an apartment. I don't think that I will ever have a maid to clean my home. I do that enough myself. I am like the housekeeper.

Actually I am the housekeeper in our house...

Well we weer never so priviledged ,my mother just took care of all the household chores and we helped out.Now that I am older and living alone in a small house I dont have the means nor see the need for one .Sometimes though I wished I had one especially to do the washing and cleaning which are two such chores that I absolutely hate and that would give me more time to mylot and stay on my computer

I've never had one but it would be fun to have someone else clean. If my writing career takes off I might try a housekeeper and see how it goes.

I never had a housekeeper but I do house cleaning for other people and I can imagine how nice it would be! I wouldn't trust anyone but myself to get things really clean though. I haven't been here to mylot in about a year!!!! Glad to see you're still around.

We do actually. She's not really a housekeeper but a house help. I guess those two are just the same when it comes to function. My parents and I are mostly out of the house throughout the day and we're quite busy with work and school, so we really dont have the time to clean the house, cook meals, etc. If we didnt have a house help I think our house would look like a Haunted House with all the cobwebs, dirt, creepy noises when there arent any people inside to make the noise. She gets things done around the house generally but Im the one who cleans my own room. I prefer it that way and that also eases her workload since she would have one less room to worry about.

No, I never have! I would want mine to come every Monday or Tuesday cause after the week end I think we would need her. I can't imagine a woman have a housekeeper unless she had a very busy job and schedule. If a woman has some sense she can keep things tidied up quite nicely unless she is just too busy at work.

No I have not but if I could afford one I would get a housekeeper! I hate cleaning and I am disorganized! I would love to have like a well know cleaning company to do it! I would even have them clean the carpets every few months! This is one of my dreams!

I have never had a maid, but believe me there are times when I would love to have a maid. Right now my life is hectic with school and I have not had as much time to clean as I would like to. I know once I finish school I will have time to go back to cleaning once a week. Money is so tight that my husband and I can not afford a maid.

i have never had a housekeeper but in a future i might need one. ive been doing this kind of job as well. it is hard but very rewarding. you see your work result right after you have done it and a happy costumer is like a sun in the sky! thank you for your discussion and have a wonderful day!
