I would agree and it really shouldn't be this way with all the advances we have now - groceries and shopping can readily be delivered, robot vacuums are common and affordable, convenient and cheap 24hr fitness centers are everywhere, great home fitness equipment is available and when things like illness or appointments pop up, a lot of people are able to arrange to work from home. So many things here save incredible amounts of time compared to maybe just 15 years ago when they were not at all common.
The amount of people that have cleaners come into their homes ~2 times a month is bizarre to me as well (we are as busy as it gets with 2 kids under 7 in school, sport, and working full time jobs etc). I get it can be overwhelming if you let it spiral, but there is a definite element of laziness to it when adults can't keep a house decently clean without paying for external help. Some of this may be high standards for cleaning and maybe it won't be absolutely spotless all the time, but the main living spaces, bathrooms and kitchen can certainly be presentable with a tiny bit of effort throughout the week.
