I know this topic wld stirr a cord with many.
I was reading some posts regarding maids n how some mummies r having some problems with them.
I am actually against this idea of having maids.I think it has made many people really slack,mean n self righteous.N the way the maids r being treated is hardly any different fr tht of a slave.
Everyone wants a maid with no off days.How wld u feel if ur employer does the same to u n u r left with no choice but to comply given the circumstances.
Maids r suppose to have minimal contact with their family for fear tht they may be easily influenced.Again how wld we feel if our In laws decide oooh ur family influencing u too much pls cut back on communication.
N maids r to eat only certain specified food.Again how much can one posibbly eat?
Some want maids to say yes ma'am,no ma'am.Lets just reserve tht for the military shall we.
N maids get up waaay earlier to do chores n r expected to do them well.How many mummies get up at 5am to do chores even if they r stay home?
N i often think maids have their hands full.If mummy is not able to do housework,look after baby n cook,to expect the maid to do all tht when mummy is at work is double standard.
In many parts of the world,they r suppose to be "house helpers". They r human too..they need rest,to be treated like u wld a guest or an employee in ur own office.
I have 3 kids .Never needed a maid well actually to be honest i wld love help with housework n all but i cant bring myself to get one.Dont want kids getting lazy.Or me getting lazy.Its easy to fall into tht trap.N all the abuse cases we read abt.Its so easy to "lose it" esp when u have the upper hand n see the maid ..well as a "maid".
So why this thread when i have no maid?Well i have seen too many terrible employers n too many maids suffering.I have actually gotten to see the "maids point of view" many a times n its often so heart wrenching tht i wonder why tht even happened.
Mummies pls treat ur maids as u wld an employee.No doubt u r responsible for her but to treat someone with so much animosity under the same roof?no patience when we r able to bear the worst of it fr in laws n other people? Why then this double standards?
No doubt there r bad hats.When i read articles abt how the maid killed the kids under her charge or attacked her employer,i think she must have been pushed to the brink.
Mummies wht r ur opinions?Those mummies with no maids...if its not financial reason holding u back then wht is?
This shld pose for some interesting discussion.:001_302:
