My husband doesn’t want us to hire house help. When the maid left for the festive season, he said that I shouldn’t let her come back and that we shouldn’t hire another one.
He says he doesn’t like strangers living with us. I suggested that we get one who comes in to do the work and leaves at the end of the day and he said he doesn’t want that either.
I have a regular 9-5 job and because of the traffic jam, sometimes I am delayed but most of the time I am back home by 6:30pm while he comes back between 7-8pm.
We have a three year-old son who needs to be taken care of while I am at work and doing all the house chores alone after office is hard.
I tried it before and I was overly burdened, that’s why I hired a maid. I can’t leave my job because we need the money, he doesn’t earn much so my salary is a welcome supplement.
I told him that I am looking for house help and he got so angry. He said I am undermining his authority.
