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...

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...

You'd also see them walking along, wandering around the shops etc with the nannies pushing the prams. I couldn't see the point myself - surely you have a nanny so you could be doing something else?

When I got back to heathrow 2 weeks ago here was a family going through departures with their luggage on a trolley with the mum saying VERY loudly "we're just going to have to manage ourselves for a few minutes then the lovely etihad driver will help us. We've no maid and no driver but we'll be fine" or words to that effect.

She was only pushing a trolley!

Mind you, give me a few months. Not having any experience of "help" I'll probable end up like one of those women who make the maid polish her kids knees or something.

Hmmm under no circumstance I could think of, but then again I don't have one, so would be impossible anyway!

My jaw always hits the floor when I see "madams" in Spinneys with their helpers trotting along behind holding the basket or pushing the trolley.
