Is having house helpers necessary?

[mustapha67]

"House helpers" as the name implies is, or are individuals who are employed to assist us in regular domestic works. They are auxiliary members of the family who work towards achieving the goal of a family as regards house chores.

Therefore, I will submit that if a family has needs for house helper(s), it is necessary to employ one or two, depending on the works to be done. Across the country, house helper is a very lucrative job. Many are paid monthly, and some are either fed, or trained through the service. I believe it should be encouraged everywhere.

House help are different individuals bringing from difference place to render help,in most home the family members doesn't really have the time to do there domestic activities because of their area of specialization of jobs and some due to health disabilities which could not enable s/he to carry out there domestic activities at home therefore the house keeper or house help should be providing the necessary needs to carry out their choice's.

Is not necessary when you have children that can be doing the house work, it will be difficult for you to see a poor man or woman looking for house help to hire because they know it involve money, which can be weekly payment or monthly payment and it depends the agreement the house help and boss agree, I know wealthy people will not agree with what I said, that house help is not necessary to humans, majority of wealthy people cannot do without house help because they are working in some government offices and private organizations that will make them to have house help that will be helping to do all the house things.

Necessary or not i think it depend on the conditions of household of a particular couple because some couples have to works full time and both husband or wife don't have much time to clean the house or take care of their childrens then having house helpers is necessary for them because this is the best way to maintain all of household jobs but indeed they have to spend more money but i think it isn't big problem for them considering the wife and husband have their own salaries to pay the house helpers salaries but probably different condition if the wife didn't work or only became an housewife because to maintain house condition and take care of the childrens this is the jobs of housewife

Recently, I found out that not all countries commonly have house helpers. I am not talking about really rich people but only those in middle class. A lot of them have house helpers and this seems to be common in countries in southeast asia. It seems like families of middle class from other cultures do not have house helpers.

It has been said that these house helpers allow the people to join workforce. For example with Singapore, a lot of the women work in offices because they have house helpers doing house chores for them and taking care of their children.

I am guessing that the reason why this is a cultural difference is because domestic help is an industry often common where countries have limited job opportunities and have a big income inequality. Can the normalization of domestic help in middle-class households perpetuate class divisions?

In many countries house helps is a very good jobs in many countries,helpers all over the place is a good innovation but to me if am working my wife is also working I think the house  needs house help who can clean the house ,cook for the kids and do some assistance works in other to releave me and my wife ,with the help of house help it can really help me and my kids ,but for the house helpers to cook for me no,they can't cook for me considering the things we are hearing about house helpers but they can only cook for the kids just children food but can't cook for me ,this is just personal decisions.

Having a house helper isn’t something everyone needs, but for many people it can make a big difference. Life can get you busy between work and other stuffs and even cleaning the house might feel too much. Having someone to help to take a lot of pressure off your shoulders. Growing up , my aunt had 2 maids they both clean and take care of her two kids, that way it’s easier for my aunt to focus on her work better.
But at the same time not everyone feels comfortable having another person in their space. Some people refer to handling things by themselves. But at the end of the day it’s what your strength can handle.

The need of house help In once home is of good importance but with great disadvantages to both the children and the marriage itself, some destroyed homes today are as a result of the works of the house help who is supposed to provide assistance to the entire house hold in doing house chose.
I still can not forget an incident that happened to my neighbor who hired a female house help to take care of her two daughters without knowing she is a lesbian, she ended up destroying the lives of the good children god gave to her because of the little mistake the woman made.

In a family settings where both parents are working class the assistance of a house helper is inevitable especially when there are children to be taken care of from day to day and while it may not all be bad the presence of a house helper influences so many things about a family, some are good with good intentions while some bad with bad intentions or even on a mission to destroy another man's home, having a house helper where and when necessary is good all we need is to be much more careful to whom we hire as a house helper because no one is to be trusted.

House help is very important to assist in house chores especially when both parties have little kids and are working class it will reduce stress of them returning to work to start making house chores as well as taking care of the kids at home.some parents due to lack of house help take there kids to pay care givers who will now take care of them until there parents returned.
Regrettably,some children receives alot of maltreatment from the hands of the pay care givers and house help when the parent are away which affects them negatively.so in my own point here for one to know who your entrusting your children or better take of them by yourself to avoid wrong children upbringing that will haunt you till the rest of your life.

Ever since I stayed with one of my aunty when I was still Younger, that was when I took that decision, that I will never have any house help in my house no matter the nature of my job or that of my husband, most of them are not likely to be trusted, in your presence they will treat your kids well but in your absence they maltreat them. But when you meet the good ones you will enjoy them, but for me I can't have any house help in my house for security reasons, so it's a No no for me.

House helpers job is an opportunity for the less privilege to get a means of providing to their own family.
In some countries its a job opportunity for the expert who are been trained to do house helping jobs. You might see a private company who give out house helpers to earn and for the helpers to also earn.

In some non governmental organization they recruit people just to find them a place to work and earn money for their self. And also make money for them
House helpers help in taking care of your house if you are a busy type and it really not a bad idea

[Mhizlove]

House help or maid which is common but it's also regarded as old fashioned,in many south east Asia countries is seen to be a normal thing for the middle class, not because they're too rich but because of the
 number of people who are looking for jobs or work  they will do, and the domestic one are the ones available.

But in countries that do not have a much better opportunity for everyone the middle class don't rely on house helps they just do their chores by themselves because they don't have the money to pay them.

So I will say it's necessary because this helps to join workforce between middle class, rich and also the poor and it also makes a big gap between these category of people.

The way you live your life as a result of your orientation to life determines whether a house help is needed or not. Some people do not see need to it no matter their social class while some people see having a house helper as high class.
However, necessity could demand a house help mostly health challenges. Leaving your children for a house helper might not be a good idea badly when this helper is just after their money.

A house-help is a necessity in most cases

In a case where both parents are full time working class citizens, it is necessary to move for the assistance of a house-help. Only challenge is to get a trustworthy one because of the atrocities 'house-helps' commit these days

However, when there are no close relatives or younger siblings to take care of the newborns the move of getting a Nanny/house-help automatically becomes a necessity.

Having house helps is necessary for some people , especially in the case of working class or career couples .  Career couples may need the services of helps as they may not have enough time for domestic chores or  take care of their kids.

Another scenario is the case of aged men and women that the children are not around to help out . They seek for the services of house helps to assist them in their day to day activities.

It's quiet necessary and common to have house helpers.
It helps to ease the burden of the employer.
For instance as a working lady who has a family and her self to take care of i think it's not bad to have a house help.
And we know people also need these jobs too. We  see persons specifically looking for this kind of jobs to handle.
This particular job helps the employer and in return they earn a living

[Prosofina_G]

It is very necessary depending on what leads to that, because i believe no one can just stay and incur an external expensis just like that.
There must be something very important that will definitely make someone to have a thought of getting a house help,
A husband and wife who are working either in a private company or one of those multinational companies might not handle two different works together, taking care of the kids and at the same time handling your career.

To be on the server side you need to get a care giver to help in handling the domestic works and help the children.
But the disadvantages of having a house help can as well tire your family apart, you see most of this house help are really poses
They might inflect your children with one disease or the other, most of this house help, are so corrupt that they might teach those kids on how to do things that you might not even thinking of that, like exposing them to sexual videos.

Sometimes we can be so entangled with house chores and needed assistance, but that should not be taken as reason for being lazy, because some people are lazy and yet they don't want to admit the fact, we needed help when necessary and if we think of both the side effects of getting one, today, house help has turned into something else, whereby people are now taking it as abuse over doing it because of how they are treating on the maids.

I am guessing that the reason why this is a cultural difference is because domestic help is an industry often common where countries have limited job opportunities and have a big income inequality. Can the normalization of domestic help in middle-class households perpetuate class divisions?

As long as life continues, the society is going to ever remain segmented into different classes ranging from the rich, wealthy, middle class, poor and the extremely poor people. Even when you look at the developed countries as well as the developing ones, these classes of individual will ever remain intact and that's part of what leads to the difference in individual which gives room for some to mame use of others as house help while others that are struggling financially have no option rather than take such Jobs just so they can make a living from it.

If I have the financial means of getting an help that will assist in running errands for me at home, there's nothing wrong in getting one as long as I'm able to take good care of them. If I take them in, I give them the opportunity to leave a better life in a better environment while on their part they render the service that's expected of them as an helper.

In Japan the middle class is different, In Indonesia the middle class is different and In Dubai the middle class is different.

Now, the example given, women in Singapore can go to work because they have maids who are from Singapore. Nope, they are from countries like India or Indonesia, where the labour force is very economical and even have difficulty finding jobs so they can go to other countries for household work.
