in the first place, i'd never go for a househelp no matter wht. i'd rather live with my niece or nephew, while he/she helps me look after my kids, he/she would stil be schooling. majority of maids of these days are agents of satan, they com in human form to destroy a family. they iniciate ur children in ur absence and most tyms the put the family in crisis. if my husband insists we bring one, i'd still treat him/her d same way i treat my own kids cos he/she is human. shikinah!!! |

Do to others what u would like them do to you --- AGREED. But the truth remains that no matter how good you treat another person's child, they will never appreciate you like their biological parents. I will treat them like my children is well said than done. Thank you. 3 Likes |

Most people maltreat their maids and house helps. Lagos residents especially have this maltreatment mentality. I have a friend who served as a house help to a fellow woman in exchange for a university degree. This madam will spill her blood just to make sure every kobo put in her university Education is paid for. But meanwhile this Madam lost her father at an early age and Somebody i know very well trained her. She neva served this man or his family. Her school fees were paid while she lives with her family. But now she is in a position and cannot reciprocate the favour. Only God will judge wickedness. |

bebe2: most homes in Nigeria have maids or house help, you watch in movies how they are treated. is dis a movie thing or do people actually treat their maids badly? Its not a Movie thing, its real life happenings. If you want to spot the difference between a Families children and their househelp in a public place like a church, look at the child that is poorly dressed, looks scruny, carrying all the baggages, looks the least happy and lagging behind. Thats the Househelp in the family. bebe2: my question is if u have or if you were to have a maid which of this would apply to you, 21 years of age.. She|He must not be dependent on me for anything other than their basic salary. They can be live in, but in the boys Quarters otherwise they would be on a 6am - 8pm work time schedule. bebe2: 2. They would serve you food on the dining, while you and your kids sit to eat, they would go eat theirs in the kitchen. Yes! They would serve my family food in the general area and where they sit to eat theirs is none of my business. But I'm sure they would be comfortable seeing as I would have a proper Table & Chair in my kitchen. bebe2: 3. Your 12 yr old maid washes your 12yr old daughters clothes, Irrespective of the age of my maid (which I have already said would not be younger than 21), My kids would start washing their underwears from the age of 6 - 7. By 12 they would be washing their cotton wears. By 15, jeans & other heavier items. by 18.. They can use the washing machine that has always been there. bebe2: 4. Your kids go to a different school to your maid, I grew up with our maids and extended families going to different schools from us. Although they didnt attend bad schools (as in public schools), but I dont intend to live my life like that. I shall not be responsible for the education of any of my househelps except their university education which would be at my sole discretion. All househelps would work for me solely on a salary basis. #Period. Should I ever take in any extended family member, best believe that they would enjoy ALMOST the same priviledges as my kids. Emphasis on almost because I am human and i am subconciously going to love my kids more than I would any other persons kid. bebe2: 5. Your kids do extra lectures after school and your maid stays in the kitchen cooking. Yes! And thats because my maid wouldnt be a juvenile. bebe2: 6. after dinner all the family sit together watching tv and having a laugh but the maid either sits in the kitchen to while away time or sits in her room by herself. Erm... Yes! I intend to provide a small screen Television for the househelps either in the Kitchen or their room, simply because I know how boring it gets for them after they are done with their chores. But if they want to join the family in the living room for TV, they are free. bebe2: point of this post is, are there better ways of handling these scenarios, thereby making it fair on your family, the maid and humanity in general. I hope I have been able to answer your questions properly.. [b]SIDE NOTE::Many of us grew up in houses where the maids in question were even extended family members from poor relatives. In most cases, the issue of different schools arose because some of these kids come from remote villages with almost no prior educational background thus making gaining admission into school rather difficult. In my case, my mum use to tutor all of us after school, but I disagree with how my mum tutored some of these m relatives because she had little patience with them. My mum would flog all of us (no favoritisms) if we did bad, but these relatives got more floggings because they failed more than we did. However, everyone who passed through my house left better than they entered. With regards to dressing, we all dressed alike. Sometimes in uniforms sef. These extended family members were not maids, but did do chores around the house. We also did do chores ourselves. So its some of these experiences that have made me say a big NO to child maids, live-in maids and extended family living with me.. It is ALMOST impossible for anybody to love another persons child as they love their own.. You may not set out to be intentionally mean to the child, but thats just the way its always is..

It is so sad how Nigerians treat maids.I work at the cinemas let me give you an example,you take your kids to the cinemas alongside your maid,you buy movie tickets for your children and ask at the counter if you are to buy for the maid,because she does not understand what they are saying.So because you are told yes you rather let he/ she stay outside while your kids watch a movie of 1hour 45minutes,and you don't want this maid to poison your kids food when you get home!!! Naija peeps I'm telling you 95out of 100 do this I'm saying.well you go to church and let your maids wear bathroom slippers to church,HABA!!,or your rather not even take them to church with the excuse of,-the car is filled up.

Re: How Do You Treat Your Househelp/maid? by mbulela: 3:45pm On Sep 09, 2013 |
i treat them same way i expect to be treated if i was a maid. With respect and dignity. I pay for her to learn a trade. She can seat on the dinning if she so pleases but she does not do so to have her meals. She seats there when we all pray together in the morning. Our maids must be adults. I don't do that kiddies thing. We once had a girl of around 12 years as a maid (when we had no kids),the drama was too much. There are nasty maids but i refuse to go to hell because of a maid,i refuse to return their nastiness to them.If you can't cope, send them away. 1 Like |

Its easier said than done, believe me I've trekked down that road............. I practically became a house boy for my aunty and her husband with their 4 kids, and I went to a different school(public) She promised my mom to take good care of me( it was easier for her to promised)......... For seven years I cried every day............ What am I trying to say, its easier said than done.............
