Is having house helpers necessary?

[Agathamay]

house helpers aka maid are very expensive

and middle class people cannot afford them is the main reason

plus if i leave my home alone with a maid in charge

i might come back to an empty house

What are our intents when we keep house helpers? They have major roles and one of them is simply to clean the house and keep every corner tidy and clean. Prepare our meal for us and probably keep an eye on our kids talking in prospects for those of us that are parents. In several cases, I prefer maids because they're in good shape and their presence help enchanced the house settings, the experienced and patriotic ones knows what to do without been told. They're acquainted with their line of work and wouldn't do anything to jeopardize it.

Can the normalization of domestic help in middle-class households perpetuate class divisions?

Is it an issue to work as house helper? That is the kind of mentality which equalizes work to humiliation. It's a job like any other people are being paid for. Thankfully, it's a possibility for people to work, instead of being unemployed and without any chances of making an income from.

Class division will always exist. And the people who most propagate and highlight such differences are the high middle class individuals who were born in rich families and never worked for real, as they envy the ones who are wealthier than them, so they use the miserable ones as example of how unfair the work relationships are in the world.

However, they are never willing to share what they have in order to make things more balanced and fairer on their distorted vision. They want others to share, including middle class, but they will give nothing. Rather, they will try to milk money from the state somehow. The perfect example of that is the artistic class from third world countries who live on laws ran by the state which have as purpose to encourage local culture.

There’s nothing wrong with working as a house helper. It’s honest work, paid work, and it keeps food on the table. The idea that some jobs are “humiliating” is pure classism. Work is work. Period. Being unemployed and broke isn’t somehow more “dignified” than earning an income.

Class division will always exist, but the loudest people crying about it are usually the high middle class types who’ve never struggled for real. They weren’t born rich rich, but they weren’t poor either. They envy people above them, so instead of looking up, they punch down and use poorer workers as symbols in their fake moral arguments.

It isn't really necessary, but it could help a lot specially if both parent's are working to earn stable income.
It would help a lot to maintain the house clean, keep the child or kids safe accompany them, give them some time to relax instead of doing chores when they are already tired from work.

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.

House help is something which is common in my country here, but mostly it’s only the high income earners that commonly have house help in my country here, and you going to see some middle income earners do have too but not really much. Most of the house help you going to see in my country are always from the low income earners, the sets of people that are just struggling to survive, they don’t really have jobs, so they survive with the money which they are paid from the people they work for.

I don’t really like the idea of getting a house help, if you know you can manage your house yourself, don’t be lazy, don’t go for house help, do the house chores yourself.

Some people are always so occupied thats why they always go for house help, but some people do go for house help just because they are so lazy. I have heard about some bad things that the house help has done in some families, so it’s not really encouraging to have house help.
