under what circumstance...
 
...would you feel the need to take your helper with you when you were taking one child to the doctor...

i just don't get these people...with shopping, i can, maybe, half see it, though wouldn't do it myself unless i was taking my helper to buy something specific for her, but the bleedin doctor, can't you even take your kid on your own...geez...

MM, xx

ps, sorry, i know this is probably more suitable for ew...

I'm guessing because they are lazy arses who have forgotten they have the ability to carry their own bags and can't be doing with the hassle of looking after their own kids. :unsure: personally i don't see whats wrong with locking the kids in the closet under the stairs whilst you go out.

don't be daft the maid would be doing my long list of chores and would then be locked away in the attic with a bowl of greul and a bucket to pee in.

thing is, that's probably not that far from the truth for some people...loads of people apparently have the maids sleep on the floor of their kids room, it just beggars belief...

Maybe she was taking the maid to see the doctor and had to bring the child along!:D

only to clean it Grace! and perhaps to check the temperature is satisfactory.

i don't think they are allowed out of the house...but probably ok to supervise kids swimming in the pool from the side, even though they don't swim...
