The maid made my bed.

For the maid. For the child.

All these negative factors are also repeated in domestic employment. In all the states of the Gulf, housemaids or drivers work about 18 hours a day without stopping, and there are many who do not have a proper place to sleep indeed, some are forced to sleep in the kitchen between the oven and the refrigerator!

One time a friend told me (with pride) that he didn t let the housemaid clean the yard, out of fear that she would get the telephone numbers of the neighbours drivers. So she never left the house, and maybe never saw sunlight expect when putting out the clothes to dry on the roof.

Ask yourself now, when was the last time you brought a meal from a restaurant for your driver or housemaid? And how often have you let the driver use your mobile phone to talk to his family, and what about the maid?

Or to keep these people away from thinking about state schools, because, at the end of the day, why would you worry about the school your maid s daughter goes, if your own little one can study at the palace in the centre of town?
