I had to type all that because I couldn't just click "thanks" on your post (still out).

Yes. Its a great feeling, and whats even better is that you dont have to worry about when you're going to find the time to do it or if you and your spouse have to alternate its just something that gets done in the background. It actually eliminates a lot of stress.
During the height of the Pandemic it was actually awful because the cleaner couldnt come in and do the job because we had so many people stuck in the house practically 24/7 and she couldnt practically work around them all.
I had 10 people living in my house for a few months and of those people only 2 ever left to go to work. Everyone else was either working or going to school remotely from home.
Its interesting because we were talking a few pages ago about people going from their moms directly to their girlfriends/wives, but I lived on my own for several years and cleaned the place myself.
Now I dont have to.
