So I am a married mom of 3 kids, married for 16 years and I’ve always been a stay at home mom. This year my youngest started going to school full time(first grade), and I started feeling bored at home and kind of lonely being by myself all day so I got a little job for something to do/a way to socialize with people. I love it and I am able to take my kids to school, pick them up and be home whenever they are, so I work really good hours. But I am starting to feel overwhelmed with my house. It seems like I just can’t keep up with the cleaning. I’ve always done everything in the house because my husband works a lot but I feel like I am really failing in the cleaning department. My kids are old enough to help but I feel like all I am doing is nagging everyday for them to help.

A friend of mine told me she feels the same way and hired a cleaning service to help her out once in a while and for a while I’ve been considering doing the same.

I’ve never hired cleaning services before but I messaged a cleaning company that I’ve heard good things about and I have an appointment tomorrow!

I just kind of feel a little bad about it, like kind of embarrassed that I am hiring someone to come clean my house. Do any of you here ever hire people to help out with cleaning your home? I am hoping after tomorrow, I can better stay on top of things and teach my kids how to help out a little more.
