[quote=Anonymous]OP - Are you trying to hire help for a recently widowed father? What is your relationship to this family? Why can’t friends be more present and provide that family connection and warmth while the dad hires help for cooking, cleaning, and laundry. It sounds like you don’t think this guy can handle life without his wife. People rightly pointed out the power dynamics and unrealistic expectations of this scenario- while assuming you are asking for yourself. Asking a 50-60 yr old woman to step in and be the housewife to a widowed man not much younger is even weirder and I imagine most women would feel awkward in that scenario. Maybe the widower status is recent and he hasn’t gotten back on his feet yet - but he’ll get there. Also if my husband was suddenly a widower, I don’t think he’d last a year without having several divorced moms we know popping by and acting motherly on a regular basis to try to date him. [/quote]
