I used to be very house proud and managed all the domestic side of keeping house myself whilst my Husband worked long hours and often a 14hour day. Since he retired, my health has not been so good, and im full of Arthritis in my hands and knees, and cannot stand up formore than a few mins at a time, so he now does a fair bit of housework, and l just sit and cook meals using a perching stool in the kitchen. Recently though, one of my Daughters has also started helping out with the cleaning, mainly because DH is awaiting a Cataract removal operation and has not been able to see to set up the washing machine or clean up like he used to be able to do. DD has just moved house, so we do pay her the going hourly rate for a Cleaning lady, which in turn helps her buy a few extra things for her new home.
