The only advantage of not being too good a housekeeper is that your guests are so pleased to feel how very much better they are.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's nothing my housekeeper does that I can't do - and maybe better!
To this day I clean better than most maids.
Some readers tell me, 'We always treated our maid like she was a member of the family.' You know, that's interesting, but I wonder what your maid's perspective was on that.
I'm really good at laundry, and I have no problem cleaning the kitchen.
Cooking can be rewarding when it is a choice and no longer the onerous duty of the housewife, and when a dishwasher can lighten the load at the other end of the process.
No one likes doing chores. In happiness surveys, housework is ranked down there with commuting as activities that people enjoy the least. Maybe that's why figuring out who does which chores usually prompts, at best, tense discussion in a household and, at worst, outright fighting.
I've always had a great work ethic, even when I was washing dishes.
Being a good mother does not call for the same qualities as being a good housewife; a dedication to keeping children clean and tidy may override an interest in their separate development as individuals.
I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house.
I love to cook and really enjoy cleaning my house. People always tease me about getting a maid. My girlfriend tells me that they are only $40 and will do everything. But that is my time to unwind, put my hair in a ponytail, throw on sweats, and be myself.
