If you were rich, would you be friends with your housekeeping staff?

Or would it make awkward because you're meant to help your friends out and they might one day ask for money?

I wouldn't have a housekeeping staff no matter how much money I had.

I wouldn't have a place with 37 rooms, or a vehicle for every day of the week, either.

Friends? Probably not. Friendly? Sure, why not.

Weird that you say that, the wife and I started watching The help yesterday.

No because you might need to fire them one day.

I don't think I would have housekeeping staff, even if I was obscenely rich. I like to keep to myself, and my place is my sanctuary. My tiny, poorly heated, window facing an alley sanctuary. If I want see people, there's plenty of them outside my apartment.

I wouldn’t ever hire housekeeping staff. I know how to cook and use a vacuum cleaner.

I could see myself hiring contractors like landscape gardeners if I was loaded and of course I would be friendly with them. I know what it feels like to have people think they’re better than me and I would never treat anyone like that, period.

If they were robots, I def would. Coz I probably wouldn't hire human beings to clean my house. It's not about the size of the house or anything, I just don't like and have never liked the idea of someone cleaning for me. It's the OCD in me.
