My parents are coming for Thanksgiving, and we have a cleaning crew coming to do a deep clean today.
Do I tip them? What's the tipping rule with this sort of service. The internet has thus far been unhelpful.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Line down, at least two hours to get repaired. And my husband reminded me that the cable modem has a battery backup. To get out of the house, I'd have to use the emergency release for the garage door, so maybe I'll stay here for the moment.

Now tagless for your comfort.
When I had a bi-weekly housekeeper, I tipped her 15% on top of her fee and gave her one paid week off and a holiday bonus. Tips are especially appreciated around the holidays. Are you using a service or an independent cleaner? If you're using a service, they are getting paid an hourly rate so I would tip anywhere from 10-20% of the fee.

Not...not that I do that, so don't feel weird huggers! Don't feel weird at all.
Too late, ita!

She would be so appalled at the idea of nipples even being involved! She doesn't like the mooshyness. Possibly she would be OK if one had firm breasts.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I AM PRO-HUG. Smooshiness abounds. I hope to get many hugs this weekend, between the play reading and the wedding.
And I'd tip around 15% of the fee to the housecleaners.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So, my DH got in a motorcycle accident last night. A guy ran into him, knocked him off his bike and he ended up sliding down the 101 at 50MPH. He's got some road rash and is VERY SORE, but is otherwise okay. Thank god for protective gear.
