Loading ...It’s sad to see that there are people like the housekeepers you had that had no life that are just expected to be there 24/7. Women’s lib in my generation and equal pay appeared to change that but who knows. I suppose it wasn’t unusual. My grandfather had one as it frees up the wife for the husband but my grandmother didn’t need to have it because she wasn’t the type that wanted to be pampered plus have someone else raise her kids. Those days they could afford to stay home though.
Wet nurses were doing the same and think it was more the husbands idea than the wives as they need constant attention. After time though that turned out to be a nightmare. They would actually put the babies in wet nurse homes in Europe where these babies would be neglected even starved to death. So parents were given others babies when they came to retrive them not even recognizing their own child. I’m guessing some did so eventually this idea went away.
