[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the housekeeper PP:  I have relatives in a different country where the culture is for the wealthy to never have to lift a finger.  I totally get wanting to reduce your chore time and to keep time for things you want to do. A housekeeper can be a big part of that. But just be conscious of what you are modeling for your kids. I look at my cousins children and I don’t want my kids to turn out like them.  Pick a couple of things you want the family to be responsible for and give your kids a part in making the family work.

Our monthly expenses are lower than yours.  So you might dismiss me as hopelessly middle class. But just offering you a different perspective. [/quote]

We grew up in Mexico with a cook, housekeeper nanny,  and gardener. We have a housekeeper here as well along with house cleaners. This is actually very normal all over Latin America. I'll leave to the morally superior toilet cleaning and grout scrubbing to you Americans. My children won't need to clean a toilet if they don't want to when they have their own families. Our parents afforded us the best education money could buy.  The same is being given to our kids. No need to do menial tasks.

With all due respect I just don't think you can grasp how peiple.avove your social class live. [/quote]

This is super ignorant and horrible. Everyone should know how to wash laundry, clean their own toilet, and clean the kitchen. Seriously, WTF![/quote]

I grew up in Europe same as the Mexican PP - housekeeper,  gardener, cook etc. I'm a great cook and amazing gardener. I can clean and do laundry but I hate it. [/quote]
