My parents hire a maid
| yeah i dont get it either. my parents did too, after a while i just got used to it and
| Work is work
| Not really sure tbh.
It would make better sense for an elderly person, but those aren't "maids," they're basically caretakers.
Of course if you go across the pond, "maid/servant" culture is closer to things like being a nanny/babysitter... and the pay is lower.
In the Philippines, for example, it's normal and common for even middle to low economic status families to have a maid.
| In Austria we have young-middle aged eastern Europeans who clean your home/want to steal stuff (I don't know, I'm part of the prolitariat).
And some middle aged-old Austrian women who need the money to survive/have a better life.

But it's worth it for some people.
Like when you own more than 10 euro per hour. It wouldn't be worth your time when you clean one hour. You can just hire someone to clean for you and have free time, or work one more hour. And in the end you have more money/more free time.
| Just fucking enjoy it. You'll never be able to afford your own maid, so savor the experience while you can.
| I won't lie, I've been spoiled. It's sometimes a pain, but truthfully having someone clean your room and do your dishes everyday is a godsend.
Atleast we're providing a job for someone...
| I remember once my mom was turned down by a maid company when she was between jobs. Her resume was too intimidating or something and they actually said that she was overqualified and referred her to another job.
To be fair, she put down a chemistry degree and her time as a professor, so I guess that doesn't exactly scream "maid."

| Not even a cute tsun maid, some old Mexican lady.
How can anyone stand having a maid? Inviting someone into your house to go through all your stuff is so uncomfortable. Just clean the house yourself, you aging middle class white people.
