And her place is immaculate.

That talk like a maid is a necessity is a bit much. Saying someone is lazy for having one, though, is a bit much, too, I agree. Although, I don't personally see the need for one unless you really don't like doing housework.

Both my parents had fairly demanding jobs but still magaed to get the cleaning done.

If someone doesn't want to do it i can appreciate them wanting to pay. I just don't buy the argument of 2 people living under the same roof and claiming they have no time.
