This is me, too. My dh doesn't think a house cleaner is a waste (it won't fit into our budget, though) but he wants that person to pick up after him. I explained to him it doesn't work that way. They don't pick up, they CLEAN. He has a hard time remembering there's a difference.
As I've gotten older and our family has gotten bigger, I've become ruthless out of necessity. I throw things away if people won't put them away.
