Domestic help

Having lived in US for 11 years and being used to multi-tasking,using domestic help is surely an interesting experience and definitely takes getting used to.
We all imagine we'll come back to India and the biggest perk is we don't have to run around for the mundane chores.It is true to a large extent.I am really loving not having to do the dishes and the dreaded laundry.
The sink is always free of vessels and clothes are washed,and even ironed by the end of the day.Every morning,the car is washed and cleaned.
I have been so used to quietly going about doing all the housework and the outside chores,that it's a bit difficult to tell somebody to do it.
I tend to get up and keep doing everything myself.I hesitate to order the maid around.
And I am very uncomfortable when they are hanging around the house all day.
Similarly, I get worked up when I go out that the poor driver is waiting for me outside.
My family rightly says that I don't know how to get maximum work out of servants and drivers for the money I am paying them.
But I am also realizing that it's very easy to get spoiled.So,I just maintain my habit of doing as much as possible myself.Or at least put the time I get now to better use.
The key in all this is to find a good maid,which is the hardest thing is to get these days.
But once you do,life is definitely much easier,provided you get a good maid.
And I am one of those lucky ones:)
