ds was always a child that needed constant attention, so cleaning was almost impossible as he wouldn't entertain himself for more than a minute or two at a time. fairly recently though he's become extremely interested in cleaning and nags me if he can vaccuum. so i do let him do the loungeroom and the kitchen. he loves it and cheers if he finds any big bits to suck up. while he does that i can get on with other stuff if dd's asleep. if she's awake i dont get much done but sometimes back sling her so i can get on with it.
in the early days of ds, dh suggested we got a cleaner but i was too that i was home all day so refused now that i'm back at work and have both kids at home when i'm not working, i suggested getting a cleaner to make life easier... dh refuses as can't justify the expense. serves me right for refusing initially.
i say if you can afford it, then do it. it doesn't have to be forever, and you may find in another year or so Pearl is ready to help and let you get on with it yourself a little more.
