>>Yeah, well, this was the late 60's when most moms were at home. Besides that, it was junior high (grades 7-9, ages roughly 12-15, though I was a lot younger), so in theory, these kids could be home on their own.

Maybe you did. We sure didn't. To be exact, at one point in my childhood, we did have a woman named Margaret who came about once a week to clean house. Other than that, we never had any household help.
I, otoh, have had someone to clean my house most of my adult life. Once I realized that I could earn in an hour or so what it costs, there was no reason not to.
