While growing up, i never saw my mum change maids as often as my kids have seen me do in recent years. Maids in the past stayed longer with their employers and most times were given out in marriage whilst still serving them. To this day ,i still have fond memories of such 'Aunties', as they were often called. They served whole-heartedly and were fully dedicated and trust worthy.

In recent years, no child can attest to having had an aunty who had stayed for more than one year. It has become the norm in our generation as they simply pass through and move on. They are not willing to serve one master for too long due to their love for money and less work .
