Is it fair that us guys fork out on maids while our wives are sat at home. Not only that..having a maid gives the missus more time to spend fortunes on manicures shopping trips and health club membership which rarely gets used etc.
Most women in the western world cope just fine without one. what would people do when they went back to the UK or the States ??!!
I have nothing against them coming in a few times a week to clean, but what sort of a wife does nothing for her husband whilst he is slaving at work to meet the bills?!, why some women pull their weight in the relationship rather than it being totally one sided ?!

JD I have no time for myself whatsoever. I cannot meet friends cos my little one gets bored and wants to run around. I cannot go shopping cos she does not like staying in her buggy and the others dont like shopping. I slave around them like crazy, I want this, I want that. I am hungry, I am thirsty. Try cleaning up their rooms. Help them with their homework. Struggle to have them bathed and ready for bed by 8pm and up again to help them prepare for school at 6am. Take care of them when they are sick and up half the night. Besides all this theres the cooking, the cleaning, the ironing, the grocery shopping (u know i go to the supermarket every two days cos theres no milk or no cereal or they desperately need to have this and that) and of course the driving around to take them here and pick them there. In all this I try to find time to make an effort and look good for hubby and pamper him a little but poor thing I rarely have time alone with him cos I am usually dead beat by the end of the day. Well if I had a maid I would probably have more time for the kids and most of all my hubby, with whom I still love to spend time with like it was our first date. Besdies I would never slave a maid but will probably give her a much better life than she is used to back at home. I think it all depends on yr background. My family was never rich, my mum used to sew our clothes to have extra money. I was taught to respect everyone no matter where they come from and what colour skin they have. I think if I had a mad I can lead a much better life and not to attend health clubs or nail salons but to spend more quality time with my children and most of all my hubby and why not take care of myself a bit more. And not only that but the miad would do well as well cos we will probably love her like one of us.
But thats just my opinion and I havent got a maid yet hehe......

Come on JD... we are not gang up on u! Singlemom is a working mom, and she have a daugther ... so of course she entitle to have a maid. Don't u think?
And as for talking abt maid in this forum is more interesting because u read 'bloke's point of view' as well. Interesting eh???
I don't hv a maid in our hse too, just somebody mopping the floor and cleaning the bathrooms once a week.

Been waiting for the pas 2,5 hrs for the maintenance guy to fix our water heater (when hubby rang they should be here in 30 mins
). And top of that I have 3 days of ironing to catch up.... :scared:
