my mom
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..?

You did the right thing telling off your mother but I guess to her the tone was wrong. You have heart caring for the housekeeper. Your mother on the otherhand... I don't know. To be kind everytime the housekeeper comes to your house, and mom's not around you should offer to do some work with her, just to prove to her that she is appreciated. Then apologize(if your mother won't) for your mother's rudeness towards her. We have a housekeeper, too. But my mom never spends time yelling at her. She just simply tell her that we're getting a new one. Offering to clean the bathrooms and toilets is a start. I wish you good luck

try talking to your mom tell her that the housekeeper is a human too and she isnt a machine
she can only do one thing at a time ther is only one of her

Did you try talking to your mum? Tell your mum that your housekeeper's human too and explain nicely to her that by shouting at your housekeeper, it's gonna make everyone unhappy. Reason it out with your mum. Like for eg, explain to your mum that the housekeeper offered to work an extra day next week so why not accept her offer, see how it goes before scolding her.
The key thing to get thru to your mum is to reason with her and try not to get impatient. Don't hate your mum. Ask her why is she raising her voice at your housekeeper and try to rationalise the matter with her from there. Try to be calm and don't raise your voice at her.
It's good that you're nice to your housekeeper. Continue to treat her warmly and by doing so, you're encouraging her and helping her deal with her tough life. You could also help her by reducing the amount of mess you make at home too. Try to help a little by wiping off wet spills immediately or small little things which you can clean up by yourself.
I hope everything goes alright =)
