[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has had the same family housekeeper for several decades-overpays her to not clean very well.[/quote] Ha! So true![/quote] Perhaps it is because they take seriously their responsibility as an employer to her -- all too rare today, in our hire-and-fire, even-my-nanny-is-an-independent-contractor cutlure.[/quote] Ohmigod-that's me:) 10 years running and I have to clean after she leaves sometimes--but she is like family.[/quote] Us too; tho' DH, who is old money, will privately tsk over the lousy job she does, he also makes a point to say "thank you" in front of the kids, esp. when she -- amazingly -- does something out of the ordinary without being asked first -- e.g., sweeps screened porch. This is even more likely to happen if she does something that is frugal -- e.g., darning gym socks. [/quote]
