My people, I have heard of many homes that have run to an irrecoverable ditch by the bringing in of a matured housemaid/houseboy as the case maybe. Some have shifted from their partners to them and finally led to d end of d home. Above age 17 house helps are known to really help in the household jobs but how do we blend this and the risk it poses?

family section=====>

^^ hihihi ! thanks

hmmmmmmmm..i wont even do dat in my dreams sef..

Whether na 5yrs house help or na 50yrs house help, no one go enter my house. I have a very strict "no house help" rule.

hmmm, i guess you are not married yet? That's why you're being definite.
What if your work is demanding?? So you prefer to leave your children uncared for?

I wasn't brought up with having houshelp around.
So one is a no no for me as am extending that teaching to my wards too. So if she like be 6, 16 or 26 I don't wanna know

Mine are 24 and 26yrs old. They help my wife in her store too.

Yes, I'm not married but when I do and start having kids, I'd use creche and I won't do any job that will take me away from them thereby leaving them in the hands of house helps. For me, my family comes first.

Hmm

@ vivian chinaza, may God bless you, i can see you are wisely blessed, may u not choose wrongly..........u just said what a wise woman should say......God first, family next and other things follow, especially for a woman.
There is actually a little of what househelps can do if d couple plan their marital lives well and are actually in love with each other.

For me.......,no househelps, regardless of his/her age, when i sleep, i want to sleep with my 2 eyes closed, when im not at home, i want my mind to be at where i am, not sleeping or out and be thinking of what may probably be happening to my kids in d hand of d househelps. D4, it is a very crucial issue to settle out between an intending couple.
Marriage and family raising consist of sacrifice and d sacrifice i made was to change my job to a less risky and less time-demanding one, which is paying me big time. For women......family first, career next and for men......career first and family next...............balance up.
May God help us all.

Am strictly on the no househelp personal policy.I can't handle any of the poo stories associated with them.My kids are really too precious for me to entrust into the hands of strangers.I rather enrol them into a creche to enable my self some time.

People are really taking that risk of getting a random stranger into their house to help them cos they don't have any other choice.

Pray before getting a househelp cos there will be a point in your life when you can't do without hiring one.

Tee hee hee

Is something wrong with having a househelp who works specific hours and does not live with you?

House help again? D wan dat weee use my bebi for jackie chan movie abi?

All those ladies shouting creche really dont know much about what they are saying.

I don't want to share some horrible experiences associated with this creche. Just wait untill you are married and kids start coming. By then, I believe it will be a different story.
