re: OT Poors - Do you cut grass on weekend or workday?

My parents both worked and raised 3 kids and cleaned their home and mowed their yard. If cleaning takes more than 6 hours a week, you're doing it wrong.
Do you have kids?
I have a 4 and 2 year old. The 4 year old likes to ride with me while i cut the grass.
It's not that difficult to make your kids breakfast, then go grab the vacuum and vacuum the house in 5-10 minutes while they eat.
If you aren't lazy, you clean your dishes after you eat and put them in the dishwasher. when you get home from work and the dishes need to be unloaded, you unload them.
After you put your kids to bed and you and the wife sit down to watch something stupid on tv, fold the clothes while you watch, unless your too lazy to.
When the garbage needs to be taken out, take it out and walk your lazy arse to the garbage can outside. I pick up the bathroom garbages while my kids bathe.
Instead of taking 30 minutes to take a shite while you play on your iphone, blow the shite out your arse, wipe yourself and be done with it in less than 5 minutes. take 30 seconds to scrub the toilet with some comet. Before you sit down to shite, put some comet in the tub too, hell even the sinks. Take 30 seconds to scrub each down and rinse it. You just shite, cleaned the toilet, sinks and tub in less than 10 minutes, and didn't waste life sitting on a toilet playing on your phone.
Clean up after yourself lazy arse.
Paying for someone to clean your house or cut your grass, if you're not old or handicap, is lazy. Don't give me the excuse that you don't have time b/c you're busy all weekend. You're not busy, you're lazy. If you want to pay for it b/c you don't want to do it, that's fine. Your money, do what you want. But don't tell me you don't have time to do it. It's not that difficult to do when we are talking about a normal 2000 sq ft house that sits on a quarter acre of land.
From Family Guy when Meg and Chris were the parents, and how i feel as well:
Lois: Wait a minute. Meg, when did you find the time to do all this?
Meg: I had all day to do this.
Peter: Oh, my God, this is delicious.
Lois: What do you mean "all day"? What about all the housework?
Meg: I did it in, like, 30 minutes. I don't understand why you're such a freaking martyr all the time.
It's a house.
It's a finite area.
I'm not cleaning a town.

So you know my wife and i's schedule confidently enough to make that statement, eh jackass?
I get up at 5 and leave the house around 530 every morning. Work until about 430/5. Get home around 6. Wife gets home around 630 with the kid. I then workout for 30 minutes while my wife feeds my son. I then bathe him while she works out. It is 730/8 by the time we START cooking dinner. By the time we are done eating and pick up the dishes it is 9/930. Spend about 30 minutes playing with my kid then put him to bed, then i watch about 30 minutes to an hour of tv and i'm off to bed. So tell me again how i'm lazy...
I pay to have my house cleaned. Why don't you worry about your worthless self instead of "chastizing" others over the internet over what they do and don't pay for.

Because I have a lot of hobbies. Especially during the summer when grass is growing fast
First and foremost, this is the answer. I cut my own grass until work had me staying after 5 quite often, so I couldn't always do it during the week. I fished on the weekends, and really didn't want to give up a day of fishing for something I could pay a guy $40 to do. I hate my yard looking remotely un-kept, so it was worth paying someone to make sure it was done even if I couldn't get away from the office on a weekday.

This is laughable. I actually probably have time to cut grass with my new job, but I have landscaping that's a bit out of my ability to keep up and in Houston I still pay $40 for a Mexican to keep it looking pristine. I get up at 4 a.m. to run or swim, head to work for 6-7, back by 4:30 only to have the 1.5 year old ready to eat at 5, then I spend time with the family/cook, and finally bathe and put the kid down. It's 7:30 by this time and a lot of nights I try to get an additional run or bike ride in. With all of that, I'd lose my mind scrubbing toilets while simultaneously shitting
. And to you calling us all lazy, my house keeper told my wife she thought our house was a second home or something and we didn't live there, because it is always clean. We do all the typical things, but every two weeks we have someone come in to get the stuff that's difficult to do on your own (scrubbing shower, toilets, tubs, bathroom mirrors, etc.).
If I was starving, then yes I'd say it was an issue. If I lost my job, I'd be an absolute lazy shite to still pay for it. But we make more than enough to pay someone so that we can sleep in on the weekend, or actually use our weekends to do things we enjoy instead of working all week just to do more work at home.
