Housemaids vs. Mothers

The comic picture presents a manager of a housemaids employment-office. He talks to a housemaid

that a family wants to hire. And he tells her: “be perfect for the first 3 months and then do whatever you want” which exactly happens in every house, the housemaid does her job perfectly until the mother trusts her.
I wanted to talk about a real social issue here in our society; which is relying on housemaids. First thing that comes to every housewife’s mind when she thinks about having a housemaid is: “my family is too big I can’t possibly handle it by my own” and so she brings any random woman from any employment office for housemaids. And a lot of women don’t count on offices anymore; they bring family members of housemaids they know. Having a housemaid has a bad impact that might affect the whole family. A lot of mothers get too comfortable with housemaids that they take a break from raising their own children and working at all! And by that unfortunately children soon become the victims. A lot of children were abused by housemaids without a definite reason. Maybe they want to feel powerful over children, maybe they want revenge on mothers that treat them bad, either way, children grow up feeling insecure and scared all the time, and the housemaids can just get away with it without the mother knowing anything. But some housemaids don’t abuse children, and they actually like them. And children would love housemaids even more than their mother that they would do everything the housemaids do, such as watching TV shows and movies for grownups, and they wouldn’t care if the children watch TV with them. By that children get used to watch things that they shouldn’t watch. Therefore they might grow up being arrogant, rude, and depraved. With all that happens, eventually who’s the one to blame? It’s the mother, she brought a strange person into her children’s lives without thinking what differences could it make.
