[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weird that pp is defending the way both of these women treat their helpers.

I suspect that it's the expat/nanny/helper employer DCUM crowd feeling triggered and guilty[/quote]

I’m one of the posters who sees the mistakes both Hilary and Margaret have made in their relationships with their “helpers,” but I don’t think either of them are these terrible villains some of you are making them out to be.  OTC, I think there are a few of you who seem to be taking this *fictional* show extremely personally.  I could opine on why that is - as you did - but I’m not that presumptuous.

And FYI - never had a nanny/household help and never been an expat.  I am, however, able to detect nuance and hold the belief that these small slip ups do not define a person.  [/quote]

I agree that small slip ups do not define a person. But this isn't real life. The showrunners chose to show these small slip ups to give insight on a character. [/quote]

Some of this stuff are "small slip ups." Like Margaret kind of distractedly asking Essie to prepare dinner on her day off.

Some of it is not small, like Hilary using Puri as a pawn in her messed up marriage. Also some of the stuff Hilary does with Puri also shows up in how she treats other people. It's a reflection of her character, not isolated incidents.[/quote]
