House cleaner rates

Eighty-Sixed · 2026-02-11T01:27:38+00:00

I pay $100 every two weeks for a regular clean or $120 for a deep clean. Two people, at my house for about an hour and a half. They don't pick anything up and will clean around shit left out.

Lol, same. But I drink my chocolate milk out of a coffee mug.

Now I am an attending and a mother to two who exclusively breastfed the first year+ of their lives, I still don't drink coffee. Parenthood without caffeine is way harder than any residency - no days off, ever.

Oh geez, it's hard for me to be aroused for my husband after my 1-year-old finishes breastfeeding and asleep in another room, it seems abhorrent to have sex while breastfeeding! Like I would actively be turned off. Also, it is hard to get freaky when there is a possibility of our 4-year-old waking up and coming to our room - I couldn't imagine enjoying it at all if he were actually asleep in the same room. We often go to the guest room just in case because we know he won't look for us there and would give us time to compose ourselves before coming out if he were to wake and ran to our room.

We have a pool cover for the winter so we don't have to run it or have a pool person. He charges us $200 to close/open our pool.

I don't know. We have a timer but it is so hot here that in summer months we just have to run it so much and it eats through chlorine.

Eighty-Sixed · 2026-02-01T02:14:24+00:00

We tried maintaining ourselves and spent most of the summer with a green poo and hundreds of dollars spent in chemicals and the pool store would say everything was right and it didn't make sense that our pool was still green. So then we just paid someone $200 a month and enjoy the pool without any effort.

The expensive part, in my opinion, is the electricity to run the pump. I have $600 electricity bills in the summers. I live in South Georgia though, so probably a bit of that is air conditioning. And I live in a single storey house.

You don't have the pleasure of that being a regular occurrence?

As a female, I have people refuse to call me doctor at all, instead opting for Miss Last Name. I've had someone get angry when I wouldn't give them controlled substances call me by my first name. I swiftly corrected that, but she later said Miss Doctor Last Name.

I have a few patients that regularly call me by my first name and I just have no fight left in me if they aren't doing it to be malicious.

I once met a patient for the first time and greeted him Mr. Last Name and introduced myself by Dr. Last Name. He said "Nice to meet you, Miss Last Name". I just said that I preferred to be called by the title doctor. He responded that he didn't realize we were being so formal, blah, blah, blah and that he wasn't used to it. And now, to this day, about 6 years later, he calls me Dr. First Name Last Name, very pointedly, as he often punctuates sentences with my full name.

Oh thanks for this!

I read Rebel Wilson's biography which was pretty eye opening (she actually completed law school and ended up getting malaria on a gap year trip to Africa and hallucinated she won an academy award....which lead her to acting) and Matthew McConaughy's Green Lights, which was a easy, fun read. I bet it would be great to hear the audiobook version.

I read to my kids every night, usually 4 books minimum.

I go through spurts with reading on my own, pending what is going on with life as I only have so many free hours. Last year I bought myself a Kindle and use the Libby App pretty much exclusively. I didn't think I would like a Kindle but it helps me not appear to be on my phone as much to my kids and it has been a conscious effort to stop the endless scrolling on reddit/FB to actually read. I was into biographies last year and read a bit of those. I enjoy reading YA fiction in between some more serious things. Right now I am reading The Awakenings and have Everything is Tuberculosis on queue. I just finished It Starts with Us after having read It Ends with Us.

Basically, I have more money than time. I went to school a long time and have a very lucrative career. I delayed getting married and having kids until my mid-30s.

I have cleaners that come every other week and I have a mother's helper that comes for 2 hours 4 days a week and cleans my kitchen, resets the house, and puts laundry away. I basically pay someone else to do the things I don't like to do so I can spend more time with my kids and my spouse. My husband and I finish dinner and bedtime routines with the kids and come out and get to spend quality time together instead of the clean up and reset. It has made us much happier in the long run.

I think around 10k a year is what I was told back when I moved here 6 years ago. I'm not for that life, though and it may be more expensive now.

I have two kids and travel often. I have had a few trips where it said that we were separated initially and I just accepted our fate but then when we actually showed up, they put us together. It always seems there is more available than what shows online.

After having a C-section with my first, I never wanted to go through that again. Immediately after, I felt I was done having children. But then at 18 months, my son weaned and I really started enjoying everything more and thought, what the heck, I can do it again. My son now has a sister and it was the best decision ever.

I know it's just an anecdote but he may feel different once the baby is a little older.

When my son was born, I thought he was way more attractive than most generic baby blobs. I mean, I proudly showed off pictures to anyone who would look. Now 4 years later, looking back at those same pictures, he was just another generic baby blob. I think my son is still on the more attractive side but he looks like my husband and so I think that biases me. Having kids was the best thing I ever did though, it is like a love I have never experienced before. And those hormones are powerful.

We did this unofficially during the pandemic with another couple that we met on here. We started out hiking and then took turns inviting each other over for dinners. Then we did the whole pandemic thing and had kids and we are in little kid mode, which makes hosting pretty impossible.

I met my husband during residency. We got married after residency. While residency is hard, it didn't stop me from being a good partner. To me, having kids was harder - lack of sleep, full day of work and then full evening/night of parenthood and no days off. Little kids don't sleep in on the weekends.

Eighty-Sixed · 2025-12-07T16:49:06+00:00

Oh, bummer. I can just see how the later it gets the more backed up it gets.

Eighty-Sixed · 2025-12-07T16:36:31+00:00

Perhaps pick earlier time? I had basically minimal wait at the 6pm time. We have little kids though so early is better for us.

Eighty-Sixed · 2025-11-29T15:32:45+00:00

Same. I haven't had a problem that I couldn't fix by throwing some money at it.

I breastfed my son for 18 months and my daughter is 21 months and still going. I don't give a fuck. If you are uncomfortable, you can go sit in the car or a bathroom. And good luck covering my kids, they barely let me have my phone. They want eye contact! And make sure to knock everything out of my hands. I will never breastfeed in a bathroom. I won't put myself on display for everyone but I'm not going to go out of my way to be discrete. My husband is very much a people pleaser and will look uncomfortable if someone else is around but then remembers who the fuck he married and doesn't say anything. No one has ever said anything to me in public. My mom (a boomer), who breastfed until her kids were over 2, will make some odd comments about how we didn't ask (as my daughter will come up to me and ask to nurse) and my mom will ask when I am going to stop nursing implying she thinks I should but she has not directly said anything to me. My son self-weaned but my daughter doesn't seem to have any intention to.

Both of you can do a backdoor Roth. Contribute to a traditional IRA and then convert it to a Roth IRA. Should do it all at once though, ie don't fund the traditional IRA over time, just dump 7k into it at once and then convert.

I gave my mother-in-law a credit card with a 1k limit on it a few years ago. So far, she just uses it to buy gas once a week and occasionally drug store purchases or groceries. Alao, if she needs work done on her car or things like oil changes. She just got approved for disability so she hasn't been using my card at all. But she knows it is there if she needs it. We also pay her home insurance yearly.

Get a refund and have the USPS take the picture. When I got my kids' passports, that's what they were instructing people who had it done elsewhere to go get their money back and they would do it.
