[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I babysat for a family, years ago, who had a full time housekeeper. The kids just left their dishes on the table after meals, the parents left the milk sitting on the counter and the baby's poopy diapers on the changing table. It was amazing. They didn't treat me (a white grad student) like that, but their POC housekeeper literally cleaned up their shit every day. Made her wear a uniform even. It was so so bizarre. [/quote] I've had full time housekeepers most of my life. My grandparents had one, my parents had one, and I've had one or more off and on since my early 30s. I've never done any of the things you described, and my parents would have had a fit if we treated anyone who worked for them poorly. Worked for [i]them[/i]. We were still expected to tidy and do some things around the house, as are my kids. [/quote] +1. Same. Our lifelong housekeeper, Miss Evelyn, was a much tougher task-master than my parents were.
