Fed-up woman wants to hire cleaning service — but her fiancé says she's being lazy: ‘He thinks it's not justified'
There are only so many things a person can get done in a single day — and one woman is getting called lazy for wanting to eliminate something off her already busy to-do list.
In the r/AITA subreddit on Reddit, a frustrated woman explained a recent argument she had with her fiancé — which was shocking to commenters.
In the post, the woman shared that she and her man live together with their two large dogs, and they split everything evenly when it comes to finances — despite her earning a bit more than him.
As a result of their full home, their 'house gets messy pretty quickly with all the fur and daily life,' she wrote.
'When we first moved in, I took on most of the cleaning and cooking… but after months of juggling work, house chores, and cooking — sometimes even having to cook while in the middle of meetings — I burned out. Completely,' she relatably wrote.
The couple eventually agreed to hire someone part-time to clean their home. 'It helped a lot,' the original poster wrote.
It wasn't until this woman brought up the idea of hiring someone to clean the couple's home regularly, every weekday, to 'take some pressure off' her.
'He [her fiancé] got really upset and said it wasn't necessary, that I'm being lazy, and that I'm trying to avoid any responsibility for housework. That made me furious.'
Even though the OP told her fiancé that she wants to 'feel taken care of too, not just the one doing everything,' he didn't budge. 'He still thinks it's not justified to have daily help and that I should do more around the house.'
Well, expectantly, the people in the comment section sounded off — mostly in defense of the OP.
'He thinks it's unnecessary because… you are the maid.'
If you can afford to hire someone, as it isn't as expensive as it is in the U.S., then you are providing someone with a job AND you can enjoy life. Alternatively, your fiancé could get off his backside and stop being a schmuck. He's the lazy a– in this situation.'
'Tell him he needs to do what you do for one month without help and you can revisit the idea of a maid after the month is over. Or he can just zip it and go along with the maid plan now.'
'Sounds like money well spent to me.'

Final Conversation Revealed Between Black Hawk Pilot and Her Instructor Before They Collided with Passenger Jet
The pilot was told to move left just seconds before their helicopter hit an American Airlines flight outside Washington, TO KNOW The NTSB just started a three-day investigative hearing into the Jan. 29 collision of an Army helicopter and American Airlines Flight 5342 Sixty-seven people were killed Among the new details from the hearing, which started on Wednesday, July 30, is a recap of what led up to the crashNew details have been released about the final minutes before an Army helicopter collided with an American Airlines passenger jet in January near Washington, D.C., killing 67 people. The information, disclosed along with thousands of pages of records as part of the government's ongoing probe, fuels further questions about the Black Hawk's conduct in the sky — including whether the craft actually knew where it was in the air. On Wednesday, July 30, the National Transportation Safety Board began a three-day hearing into the Jan. 29 crash at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, which has been under investigation for months. All 64 people on the American Airlines flight were killed along with the three crew members on the chopper. It remains unclear if the collision was caused by some kind of mistake on the part of the helicopter crew. Air traffic controllers have also drawn scrutiny after reports of staffing issues that day; helicopters have long flown close to the airport, too. As part of this week's hearing, officials showed an animation of what led up to the fatal collision over the Potomac River next to the airport. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. According to the NTSB presentation, which expands and confirms some previous information released by authorities, American Airlines Flight 5342 last communicated with air traffic controllers when they were told to switch runways about five minutes before landing, which they agreed to do. The jet was flying to D.C. from Wichita, Kan.; a number of young figure skaters were on board after attending an elite training camp. At the same time, the helicopter, which was flying as part of a night evaluation for the pilot, Capt. Rebecca Lobach, was heading back to Fort Belvoir in Virginia. The Black Hawk had a three-person crew: Lobach, 28, as well as Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Eaves and 28-year-old Staff Sgt. Ryan O'Hara. Eaves, 39, was reportedly the instructor. Crucially, the route the helicopter was flying had a maximum altitude of 200 feet near the airport — but the helicopter continued to fly well above that, varying between the mid-200 feet range up to more than 300 feet as it approached Reagan. Later on Wednesday's hearing, officials testified that the helicopter's crew appeared to think they were flying lower than they were, possibly because of an altimeter error. At various times, they announced they were at altitudes approximately 100 feet lower than they were. About three minutes before the crash, Eaves told Lobach to 'come down for me' because they were at 300 feet, according to the new NTSB presentation. The presentation also shows the helicopter was twice warned by an air traffic controller about the approaching passenger jet, once about two minutes before the collision and again about 90 seconds later. Both times, the helicopter said it could see the other plane and requested a 'visual separation,' in which they would be allowed to navigate around the jet. A controller approved that. Five seconds after the second warning to watch out for the incoming plane, Eaves, the helicopter instructor, told Lobach, 'Alright, kinda come left for me ma'am, I think that's why he's asking,' to which she replied, 'Sure,' the presentation shows. Eaves then said, 'We're kinda out towards the middle,' and Lobach said, 'Okay fine.' The entire exchange lasts about four seconds. The helicopter was 270 feet in the air. Not far away, the American Airlines jet was descending toward the runway and was only 320 feet in the air. Three seconds later, at 8:48 p.m. local time, they collided. The NTSB hearing will continue this week. Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Your Zucchini Wants to Be This Lemony Bundt Cake
Good morning! Today we have for you: A shapely, lemony zucchini cake A back-pocket recipe for black-eyed peas Plus, a pasta salad I don't hate (it's from Melissa Clark, of course) Hi. Kim here filling in for Melissa. And no, you can't get a refund. Let's talk about Bundt cakes. It's the 1950s. A lady from a synagogue in Minneapolis wants to recreate the dense coffee cake called bundkuchen she remembers from her childhood in Germany, but she doesn't have the right pan. She visits H. David Dalquist, whose fledgling company Nordic Ware is trying to make a go of it fabricating cookware for the Scandinavian community. He casts her a round pan with a tube in the middle and scalloped shoulders. He names it by adding a T to 'bund,' then waits for it to get noticed. Finally, in 1966, a little something called the Tunnel of Fudge cake wins second prize in the Pillsbury Bake-Off, and it was on like Donkey Kong. And now, you can be part of this history by baking this lovely lemon zucchini Bundt cake from Yossy Arefi. The thing I love about this recipe is the double lemon glaze, which gives it a little sparkly crunch. But if I am being honest, sometimes I leave it naked because the very shape of a Bundt cake is pretty enough. Featured Recipe View Recipe → Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
