Never had the problem 20 years ago.
As much cheating they do we would have been better off without it
They've been advertising a cleaning service for 1day $19.00. i think is you probably have to go on contract. I've never had anyone clean my house. It would never have entered my mind.
Only because it's never been clean enough to me:)

Once I started working full time in ministry - that is, six days a week - having a cleaner has been a lifesaver. They do all the big jobs like mopping all the floors, cleaning the bathroom, and so on, and we just have to maintain things in between. I think we pay ours about $100 for three hours once a fortnight, which is a pretty standard rate here. My conversations with other professional women lead me to think it's a pretty common thing to do, to cope with life's juggle.

I'm sure your right. I have no idea. No one i know has ever used a cleaning person. If you have the money i think it's wonderful for you. I'm sure it relieves stress.. it's a blessing really

When I first raised it, my husband was reluctant, thinking that we should be able to manage the housework on our own. I told him that maybe we should, but in reality we didn't. This way I wouldn't be full of resentment for him not having mopped the floor (or whatever). I told him it was an investment in our marriage, and he's never argued about it since!

Is it really so unusual for households where both spouses work, in America?

Praying I can make a quick Walmart run without the wife having a panic attack.
I honestly don't want to wait 2-3 hours for her to get ready just to get some cleaning supplies.

again fwiw, walmart or walmart+ might be available... a small monthly cost ....
and then same day deliveries , or next day/ scheduled, are possible... often cost less than the gas (or bus) money that would have been spent, and the time spent ...

Is all this pertinent in the light of Romans 2 where it is written that The Judge (Creator) Justifies those who do what He Says To Do,
and
declares those unjustified who do not do what He Says To DO ?

For us i think it is more about money. No one i knew had the money for it. the class you run with.

Poor Biden, with his support for Israel, is between a rock and a hard place. He must support the military industrial complex of the US to fund Israel for weapons, but he is also trying to advance Trump's Abraham Accord which as a peacekeeper will now fail under his hand because of his biased support of military action. No win situation. Such is the way and will of man.

From the other side of the world, I don't feel as if I really know much about Biden. (That is to say, he may be weak, but it's hard to tell from here). The alternative, however, was downright terrifying.
