[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, yes chopping as in meal prep. :-)

And yes, I'm lazy! And no, not the world's best Mom. But having the help around the house certainly helps me pay way more attention to my kids, work part-time at the Embassy, and the bonus is I get to try new recipes, watch Ted talks, have lunch with friends, go on hikes alone, learn how to crochet, and catch up on all of those projects (like a "legacy drawer") that I always swore I would do one day.

We sacrificed a lot to move overseas to do the job that we do. I'm taking advantage of the good parts, like household help, without a second thought. My kids are in school full-time and I am THRILLED to spend none of that time cleaning or doing food-prep or organizing the pantry. Beyond thrilled. Ecstatic.

Glad some of you found the humor in it! :-)[/quote]

Glad that being the mandarins of the global hegemon is working out for you ...[/quote]

I assume you get paid market-rate for whatever profession you do? My housekeeper does too, actually she makes about 50% over market rate and 300% more than the minimum wage here. She gets paid vacations and sick leave. She is treated with respect and dignity. Whatever accusation you're trying to make is patronizing and unnecessary. We are good people serving our country. I sleep just fine. [/quote]

True story:  My friend's dad once rode on a plane with Jimmy Hoffa.  He asked Jimmy about the Teamsters, and Jimmy said, "I sleep fine at night."[/quote]
