[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]HOUSEHOLD HELP?????[/quote] Not OP but this common term refers to not only nannies, but housekeepers, gardeners, etc. it is help for the household. No need to get bent out of shape. [/quote] It is also condescending.[/quote] Exactly. Condescending and outdated. Nanny, housekeeper, or gardener would do just fine. "The help" has classist and dehumanizing connotations, and I know that you are smart enough to realize why it would be offensive today. [/quote] PP didn't say " the help". The term used was "household help," which is an aggregate term. Google it and you will find agencies who use that term to describe the professional services that are provided in the home. [/quote]
