It's also odd that they make repeated mention of not having time to clean the house when this is the type of lifestyle we're dealing with. Seriously - just own it and admit you're too lazy or have no desire to clean up the messes you yourself make.
In my books having a cleaner is pretty extravagant unless you are adult parents on shift work or very unusual hours that make typical work/home hours accessible. I certainly don't find the 3 hours or so my wife and I would split up throughout the week to clean to be detrimental to anything I would otherwise be doing, and we have young kids in sports and activities of our own on the go.
We do have our robot vacuum on retainer doing the floors 2x week.....so maybe I'm a massive hypocrite on the issue.

Some people just hate cleaning. If they think their time is more valuable doing other things, I say more power to them. Plus, it gives other people paid work, so works out all around IMO. I have friends who hire a cleaner once every two weeks too. I wouldn't say its extravagant, but I wouldn't do it because I'd rather do it myself and spend my money elsewhere that I find more value in.
