why there is such a shortage of good help or any help for that matter in this city.. Its the new trend of the rich.. 2 maids per child and of course a few more for the house. Really!!! Believe it or not.. it's true. I know at-least two women who have two maids for their child. And in both cases, the mothers don't do any kind of work from home or office or house work or anything other than lunch with the ladies and shop...
In-fact P and I walked into a day farm house party some weeks ago sans maids and just T and we must have looked like aliens to the rest because we were actually holding our baby. There was no maid in tow.
P and I are very concerned about our privacy. An outing means just our little family, just the three of us. We never take a maid along to such things. Its only when we are going to a family wedding sort of a thing where we would have to be really involved in the ceremonies or would have to stay till long after T's asleep, then we take a maid.
I just can't stop wondering what do they need two maids for a child for? They actually don't even lift a finger. One maid passes the clothes and the other puts them on the child. Why have a baby at all and what will the baby learn from an uneducated village woman? What about the importance of touch while bonding with your baby? Don't these women ever feel guilty for not bringing up their babies themselves or don't they feel overwhelmed with so much love that makes them want to do everything for their babies themselves..

There should be a new law - with a maid limit on each household. The Law of Equal Distribution of Help.
The rich become richer - the haves take it all. Marxism lives on :)
yea its sad. cant imagine how much those kids might be ignored as well bcos the maids might never take a personal interest - they're probably just doing their job.
nc: i swear there should be a law.. otherwise soon i will have to quit my job and just do house work..
nat: it is really sad.. and so hard to fathom for people like you and me
Wow! I raised the same question on my blog a couple of days ago. In this case it wasnt about 2 maids, but basically about adopting a hands off approach when it comes to parenting! Why has it become suddenly fashinable to give birth to children and then hand them off to maids or grandparents these days? I understand the need for a career or socialising but you have committed to a big responsibility, arent you supposed to fulfill it atleast till the baby is slightly older and doesnt need you most of the time?
Oh and I have linked you up on my blog. Hope you dont mind.
