Don't be too lazy

It is very unfortunate that women hire house helps and then forget that they still got roles to play as wives and mothers.

Shortly after, the same women rant of how their kids’ behavior have changed and how the husband is eyeing the house help. All this is because some women delegate all their duties to their house helps while they sit to be served and worshipped like goddesses.

Even though the house help is supposed to help you with some chores, there are some duties you should never ever let them do unless you really do not care about your family.

The following are some roles that you should never delegate to your nanny:

1. Discipline

If you have kids, it is your role as parents to discipline your own children and teach them about moral values. As a matter of fact, your children should always be well disciplined such that the house help will have no complaints about their behavior.

2. Homework

They are your kids and you should take the responsibility to guide them in each and every way. You know them best and you are thus the best person to help them with their homework.

3. Serving your husband

If you are too busy or late from work, you can let her do the cooking. But it is your responsibility as the wife to serve your husband lest you lose him to the house help.

4. Planning the meals

Your house help is there to help you but not to take up all your roles. You know what your family’s favorite meal is and you should only guide the nanny on how to make it. If possible, make the meal yourself.

5. Clean your bedroom

The bedroom is such a private place and not even your nanny should be allowed in. Always make it your duty to tidy up your bedroom while she can clean the rest of the house.

6. Wash your undergarments

Letting her clean you undergarments is the highest degree of disrespect that you can ever have towards your nanny. Let her wash everything else but never let her clean your undergarments or those of your husband.

7. Bathroom preparation

If your husband needs to take a bath, it is your duty to know where the towel is and get everything ready for him but not the house girl. Don’t be too lazy for heaven’s sake!
