Having somebody else pick up after you feels like something from my childhood. I get the theoretical savings in time but it not something I felt the need to have to pay for. I wonder how much it affect kids and young people, that they don't value being able to clean up after themselves or be responsible for simple chores. Or just unable to into adulthood.

I know a few coworkers that have weekly cleaners in their home. They are definitely lazier and more entitled people in the office lol.

I don’t think having somebody come by once every few weeks precludes everyone in the household from still having to clean up after themselves. It’s not like you’re leaving dishes out until the maid comes, or leaving some juice that spilled on the counter for 3 weeks.

Anyway, at the hotels we tend to stay at, staff come in while we’re not there to clean. I have never felt concerned about something going missing. Maybe you can start there until you build up the confidence to have someone in the house. Haven’t you had plumbers or anyone in your house doing work? You don’t hover over them do you? They could also be stealing your stuff.
