A Singaporean girl stated recently on Facebook that she is considering her relationship with her boyfriend as he does not want to hire maids and nannies.
This was what was stated in the post.
“Lately my bf and I have been talking about our future. I told him I want to be a housewife after we get married and I want to hire a maid. He was like, “If you’re a housewife and you hire a maid then wouldn’t you have nothing to do? I thought a housewife’s job is to do housework?” I told him that my job as a housewife would be to supervise the maid. That is also considered a job. Being a supervisor is a tough job.
I also told him I want to hire two nannies when we have a baby. One nanny to look after the baby during the day, and another one to look after the baby during the night. He said that his mom is willing to help take care of the baby so nannies are not necessary. I don’t even like his mom. She has no class and she talks loudly. I don’t want her to be around my baby.
Somehow I feel like my bf is just trying to find excuses to not spend money on hiring maids and nannies. And he thinks that housewives should do housework??! I think he’s ridiculous!! Housework is for maids, not housewives. A housewife’s job is to ensure that the house is a comfortable place by hiring maids and nannies. Seriously should I reconsider this relationship? Cos I think he’s like so stingy and selfish. Expecting me to do housework and tolerate his low class mom, just because he’s not willing to spend a little bit of money. Please advise? Thanks for listening!”
