BPT- i read and reread your last post and I think every single word you said is true. You are 100% right that for 2 people, and even if there is a baby involved, there is no need for outside cleaning help. I know someone who has 9 children and only has 3 hours of help a week! can you imagine?!? And yes her kids are health, happy, stable children. She is their mother and she is capable of making supper, doing laundry and even (gulp) cleaning a bathroom! I think the girls grow up with more of a sense of responsibility and the boys realize that the wife is not a machine- their father pitches in and they will also have to help….
Thank you BPT again! Great post!
