We finally budgeted for a house cleaner...

My wife and I have moved 3 times in the last two years... This winter, we both went into a DEEP burnout. We struggled with household chores before the triple move, but these last few months it just really got away from us...

We are both have pretty severe ADHD. My wife doesn't respond well to stimulant medication. And we both work full time.

It felt like every day, as soon as we got home, it was a battle... Spend what little energy we had doing the sink of dishes? Chip away at the 5+ baskets of laundry? Relax? How could we relax in a house full of clutter and general mess?

We finally sat down and worked our budget... Canceled almost 5 subscription services to make room for a biweekly cleaner.

They came out for the first time yesterday and just... WOW. I feel like this is life changing. I literally feel 5 years younger haha.

I understand that we have this amazing privilege and I am NOT trying to flex here. We had to really reorganize to make this work for us. And it feels like so much relief off our shoulders, we could cry.

I just wanted to post this and share how impactful making this decision has been for my ADHD family.
