If I had the extra cash, I'd gladly hand over the menial and mundane to someone who makes a living out of it. In the past, when I WOH, had a baby and a a dh who was overseas, I did pay someone to do. The little time I had at home I had more important things to do, like spend it with my dd and taking care of more important household tasks.

Now that I have four young children and a hectic schedule, I'd love to let someone else do the heavy duty cleaning for me. Unfortunately, our budget doesn't allow for it. Who cares if they *like* being able to pay someone to do it? You make it sound as if you think they feel they are better than you for it?

Your customers aren't giving you "gifts."

Because I pay someone else to sort it, take out all the stuff that's in the pockets, wash it, dry it, fold it and put it away.

Yikes, lots of posts to avoid the request for support to one's statement.

And because you have the time and desire to do those things, you assume that everyone else should too?

To each his own. It's not that you don't have the time, you don't want to do it. SHould have said that in the first place.

I could like it, but don't want to. Why would I want someone to do my dirty work for me?

Are saying your time isn't more valuable than anyone else's time?
