So I can’t know poor because I grew up in Monsey or Teaneck?
I know poverty. I have a friend that when she first got married was so poor she asked her friends to take ketchup packets, jelly and cracker packages from restaurants (where they gave them out) so they could have. They barely had ANYTHING to eat. They couldn’t afford milk. They couldn’t afford anything. Now, these friends aren’t Jewish, but they certainly didn’t say “I need cleaning help or I am not going to make it.” They shortly had 4 kids in the house and still didn’t have cleaning help.
Cleaning help IS a luxury. Unless ch”v someone is disabled or really mentally unstable. Obviously that’s a different ballgame. But to tell me the average family needs it? Please.
And you referenced a stressed out mother – where is the father in this equation? He can’t pick up a mop and broom?
The only “cleaning help” I have is my husband.
