saga of having a housemaid...

Hello everyone! 




From where do  I begin? I am sure most households face the problem of having or not having a helper in the house who would do dishes and do sweeping, mopping and washing clothes etc.

Years back  I hired a maid to do dishes plus  cleaning but  I soon found out  I am left at mercy of maid who would pick her own convenient time to come and disturb our afternoon nap times.  


A quick sweep of floor, a quick wash on the plates and she is done leaving me to do it again. I said to myself thats it, I am not paying this maid for nothing and I fired her promptly for not coming on time and taking many leaves,. I thought I would do it myself as most of my friends don't have domestic help and they manage it very well.
Ha soon  I was doing more of  oohs and aahs  as my back and legs were hurting. Lazy me got dependent on maid to do  cleaning. I got a new maid and she has been with me for years and still dependency on maid and all their mood swings have to tolerate.  and yet  I kept her as the speed with which she washes dishes and does sweeping and mopping in flat  10mins.  Must be  a record eh!

And one fine day my maid vanishes without trace... aha  I wish  I had some magical power to find where she vanished and  I was left to do the chores again which I had lost the habit of doing.. tried over and over again to get new maid but zilch.. no one would come as they had other houses to do and I was thinking how do my friends manage without maids. Back to square one for me to do dishes  and mop and sweep and all that..Ha  I am not that young any more and there were more ouchs than  I had before..

As suddenly as my maid had vanished, she came back one fine day again after more than a month telling she had to go to village suddenly and could not inform me. I was happy to  get her back and yet again tolerate the timings the tantrums and the pay rise etc.

If you have a maid, then also problem and if you don't then also problem. I would not be writing this if  I had suddenly not missed my maid who had vanished without trace. Some generations before me had worked well without a maid but with changing times demand and dependency on maid rises.

Ha  I wish I had that Irona from RICHIE RICH  haha hahahha...
