If the housekeeper excepts the working partner to pick up equal duties when the kids are home , and are spending less the 7 hrs on the house (a guarantee almost) then yes they are a parasite

I look at the simple math . What’s is the working partners spare time worth ? For easy math let’s say $100/hr

If the housekeeper does 3 hrs of work a day every work day (15 hrs of chores a week not unreasonable ) effectively they have saved the working partner $750 worth of time effort (assuming otherwise chores split down the middle )

So $3000 a week is their value to the working partner. (+the value you
Place on a sexy partner if they are staying fit !!!)

It is not a job - it is proving utility to the working partner which can have a value placed on it

In that way no different then hiring a cleaner . Yes your stay at home partners value is nothing more then a math equation ��

Having worked from home with the partner for the past 18 months I can say one thing - having all the chores down during the day sure opens a lot of free time

Instead of taking a work lunch for 30/60 mins I get laundry done , mow lawn, clean etc

By 4/5 we’re done work and other then cooking (which someone will usually prep during the day) chores are all done

Add in a few hrs on the weekend and basically you have free time galore. So there is definentely value in a homemaker assuming they actually “do their job” as it opens free time for the other partner immediately vs in an earlier retirement

Present value of time/money at its finest
