Question Posted Wednesday December 13 2006, 10:06 pm

ok so i have a housekeeper, but i always feel so sorry for her..well one because she is a housekeeper, a single mother with 2 kids whose husband left her, and she has a lot of different jobs. and because we are a really annoying family..like i feel bad for her because i'm always having her take me for a smoothie or something after school (but i always pay her back) and i'm picky about dinnner,etc... but i'm really nice to her. she's really nice and i dont know i just feel so bad for her..and she can't speak english that well either so we sometimes have communication problems. but my mom is sometimes sooo mean to her like she would start like yelling at her being like "why didnt you spend 4 hours this week cleaning the bathrooms?! this is our promise when you started working for us!? how are you going to make this up!" and omggg its horrible and the housekeepers like on the verge of tears and says that she'll work an extra day next week,but my moms like "nooo that wont make up for this week waht are you going to do!?" and she just keeps pushing it ! you don't even understand how mean my mom is she was like yelling at her .. ughh idk i wish my mom would stop being so mean i was like "mom ill clean the bathrooms!" because i couldnt stand it anymore and my mom got mad at me. i seriously hate my mom i don't understand why she has to be so mean and pushy to everyone..yeah i know she pays the housekeeper but htat doens't give her a right to be so rude? helppp..?

If you're really getting tired of your mother's attitude, let her know how you're feeling. You should be able to share your thoughts and feelings with your mother.

Just let her know that you think it's really rude the way she's been treating your housekeeper lately, and your housekeeper's honestly trying, she really is, and she's trying to do the best job she can do. It's a very difficult thing working a job and then not being able to communicate well and working all those hours. Just let your mother know she needs to cut the girl a break ; you'll even HELP around the house if all that work really needs to be done.

Also, try talking to the housekeeper. Let her know she's doing a fantastic job and everything, and you're sorry your mother's acting this way towards her and treating her disrespectfully. I'm sure it'll make her happy knowing that you think she's doing a good job so whenever she does get yelled at, she at least knows one person in the house DOES appreciate all her efforts and everything.

I hope I helped.
