Are you kind to your maid servant or just be a boss around her, ?

My maid is a part of our family. I treat her as one and she treats me like her younger sister. I have trained my kids to call them aunty and never they will call her by her name. They will give her the respect that is to be given for an elderly person. I tell her the things that I need her to do. If there is something that I need her to correct, I show her the way how to do rather shouting at her. It is not worth complaining to others, if they come to know about these complaints, will they really help us. This is their office, and if the boss is not a good one, how can you expect the subordinates to be a good worker. I never complain about my maid. I have also seen people not giving anything to the maids, which is not a healthy practice. I just make sure that I give her food to eat and a cup of hot coffee which rejenuvates her. Many women come to work as maids also for the food. So why deprive them of that. Infact prepare extra food to give her daily. They never ask for royal treatment and all, but they feel better if they are also treated as fellow human beings.

When my younger siblings were born, my parents decided to hire a servant in the house because both of them were working. I'm the eldest of four siblings and the age gap between me and my younger brother was barely a year so I'm just too young to take care of him. And if my memory serves me right, we've had three to four servants since then. Even at a very young age, I've been treating them kindly. Some of them are actually our aunts. As a matter-of-fact, I've been relatively close with one of them. I even slept beside her and shared stories with her as if she were my older sister. Come to think of it, it's been more than a decade already since we last saw each other and I do miss her.

hi cindrel_27, my dear friend, i am having servants and i never treated them like a boss. i never ordered them like a big boss ordering something and they have to come rushing head over heals, making all the things fall that come in between. i am very easy to them . and if i have a complain also i say very politely so that she also dont feel bad and my work is laso done. what the fun to be rude and then hear some bad words from them also. they have bad language as uausal, so why to say all that.

I believe that you should treat people the way you want to be treated. I really do not like the term servant because it kind of infers that they are essential your slave. I'd feel really uncomfortable about that.

Yes I treat my maid as a member of the family.She is a very sensible woman and takes care of us in many ways..everyday I make a point to give hera cuppa tea along with whatever we have in our breakfast...after all she also needs a break after working for long hours.

My maid servant is also like a family member, she's very sensible and takes care of us in many ways. Everyday I make it a point to giver a cuppa tea along with anything we give her which we have in our breakfast...after all they also need a short break after working for so many hours.
