True--times have changed. There are lots of things we did as kids that parents would be reported for nowadays. We also had hours of outside time to explore. It was fun. My brother and I liked to explore the "swamp", a wetlands nearby that was deep and mysterious to us. It has since been "managed", ie, the water channeled in pipes to prevent the flooding that used to occur regularly. What is that song--"They paved Paradis and put up a Parking Lot"?
I don't blame you for firing the cleaning person if your stuff was going missing!
I have a friend who has a cleaner every 2 weeks. She finds that knowing the cleaners are coming keeps her messiness in check because she does need to do a bit of tidying up (ie, putting things away) before they come over. She says it is a good balance. They clean thoroughly (enough) and knowing they are coming gets her to keep things in control.
