My whole point was common sense. 400-500...Mother C. My whole point was common sense. 400-500 a KD a month is not middle class, it's lower class income. <BR/><BR/>I am Kuwaiti (6th class I believe) and am well aware of the costs of living. I raised my many children on this amount for many years. I could not afford more than one maid. Does this make me deprived? No, it means I had to accept living within my limits, hard as it was. <BR/><BR/>I ''chose'' to stay home with my children and do the best I could to raise them. <BR/><BR/>Most women in the West who work have to pay 400-500 KD a month for childcare outside the home. <BR/><BR/>IF both parents are working, it would double. This is the same issue facing the West. Both parents working and paying childcare is financially barely worth it. <BR/><BR/>''do you think those people can afford having maids?''<BR/><BR/>No, many women cannot afford maids, or one at the most. <BR/><BR/>The Phillipines have declared that all new maids receive 120 KD a month. Soon, others will follow suit. Logically speaking we cannot fight their demands, or we opt for other countries to employ. <BR/><BR/>That's life.sanfranciscanq8https://www.blogger.com/profile/02233246941665655051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168445654702597413.post-80224414703155761802008-03-13T13:28:00.000+03:002008-03-13T13:28:00.000+03:00that's totally sad and unfair I'm glad that we don...that's totally sad and unfair I'm glad that we don't do that and my friends's families treat their 'helpers' the best way they can and put themselves in their placeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168445654702597413.post-60952556351707883572008-03-12T20:59:00.000+03:002008-03-12T20:59:00.000+03:00sanfranciscanq8the majority of middle to low class...<B>sanfranciscanq8</B><BR/><BR/>the majority of middle to low class kuwaitis are employeed at the government sector .do you have any idea what the average salary of a kuwaiti employee in the government sector is?<BR/>the average salary my dear is 400 to 500 kd! .. if he/she has to pay each maid 120 kd! + other liabilities ( including food, shelter,you'd be lucky if you get an apartment rent for 350 kd , and clothing) for themselves and their children with the inflation that is happening now adays .. do you think those people can afford having maids? im all with human rights get your maids treat them well,give them what they need, bonuses every now and then, gifts .. but remember that those maids have agreed on this salary and 60 kd which isn't good enuff for you is obviously good enough for the amazing landscape farm installment according to the banks in philipine & india.. common sense please!Mother Couragehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208043893602094574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168445654702597413.post-50539989730701223132008-03-06T11:28:00.000+03:002008-03-06T11:28:00.000+03:00Valid points although you should not lose sleep ov...Valid points although you should not lose sleep over any issue. What you are doing (exposing) is the answer. You really should begin a social talk show. <BR/><BR/>We can change things one person at a time. Having maids is a luxury, not a standard requirement. I checked into Merry Maids in the U.S. for my pregnant daughter, and it is minimum $125 per VISIT. One day service!! <BR/><BR/>Don't even ask the price for a Nanny (and of course they are trained) yet childcare is very expensive,especially for infants!<BR/><BR/>I view both sides. As a mother who raised her children for 10 years with no maids, I know it can be done. My children came out very responsible, and appreciate the maid I do have now. I truly appreciate the maid, as it gives me more quality time with my children! <BR/><BR/>Salons are women's way of maintenance, we all should go, but when the family budget is all about your *looks* face it, it means your life is pretty shallow. A woman's beauty comes from within. :) <BR/><BR/><BR/>Mother courage: You're surprised at the 120? Try one month of taking care of an infant and cleaning your apt without them.<BR/><BR/>How can maids who were getting paid 35-40 KD a month back in the 80's not be paid a standard ''cost of living'' raise? All Q8ti's received a 120 KD raise (and still whine for more) so the maids should as well. <BR/><BR/>Costs for a khadama? It should be based on their experience, with a minimum of 60 KD. <BR/><BR/>eagle 4: it's nice you appreciate your wife's efforts to take care of her family. American men 'expect' this of women, and that annoys me as well. <BR/><BR/>Great topic, keep it up!sanfranciscanq8https://www.blogger.com/profile/02233246941665655051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168445654702597413.post-50508024176942529932008-03-06T02:41:00.000+03:002008-03-06T02:41:00.000+03:00الحد الأدنى للأجور يفترض 120 ديناربصددد أعداد القا...الحد الأدنى للأجور يفترض 120 دينار<BR/><BR/>بصددد أعداد القانون<BR/><BR/>و له العديد من الجوانب الإيجابية<BR/><BR/>منها تقليل الوافدينبوصالحhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03186482125286132407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168445654702597413.post-56885056336918790652008-03-05T19:24:00.000+03:002008-03-05T19:24:00.000+03:00I am a very happy man, no maids & no drivers.
