Best money ever spent, if you ask me.
We have a small yard, and a gardener, but no one in my house like yard work at all.
Was extremely important when we had infants. Bought me way more time with my family. (That part is priceless). We probably see the point less and less as the children age. Yard work can become a family/team effort, and I actually think that is important for the kids when they are a little older.
Then again, I still love not having to do yard work. & it's really hard to find a good gardener around here. So I am hesitant to ever give it up. But we probably will when the kids are older. For their sake.
When I was in my early 20s I thought I would have never hired help like that. What a waste of money! Well, having kids changes things a bit.
