If you could afford to have servants(cook,maid,chauffeur,nanny,butler,etc)....would you actually want them???

Or would you feel like they were intruding on your privacy?

Update:

I love when it cuts off my questions.....supposed to say would you actually want them? just in case people are wondering...:)

    When I was in Indonesia, I had about four maids, two chauffeurs, and two cooks; they practically did everything for me. I was spoiled.

    But now, after living eight years in the U.S. I don't think I would ever want a maid or chauffeur anymore. I enjoy my independence and privacy (there are some days that I would REALLY want to have them back). But I believe that it's better to rely on myself to do even the most mundane everyday things, especially since I'm very paranoid about my organized mess.

    Well, you answered part of your question yourself, maybe without realizing it, because as you say it's a preference.Some guys do, and some don't; like breast augmentations. I think it's normal to like what you like, but as I feel about preferring one 'type' over another, most men are at least slightly obsessed with the female form and all it's wonderful curvaceousness. My guess is that after some time has passed you will find that the girl who is attached to those magnificent mammalia, will be more important to you than her outer appearance and you will love everything about her, including what ever size and shape her breasts happen to be. On a personal note: my preference is the natural boob, because fake ones can be too firm and "plastic" and so don't feel as good as a more yielding variety, i.e.- I like the real thing just fine! I do think that women should be happy with themselves and not bow to "societal pressures", but we both know the reality of that is somewhat different than just saying that, and it's more complex of an issue than that. You are definitely not alone however, if others did not like enhancements of this sort, women wouldn't subject themselves to these procedures. I hope this has helped.

    I think it'd be nice to have them around, but I have to pay them. If I can afford them, then YES. Else, I'll have to make do without them, LOL.

    Not sure about the nanny tho (altho I'd jump for a good home-school teacher).

    On the privacy point, I DO like my privacy, however, I understand that they can be unintrusive (if there's really such a word), it's a matter of making adjustments on both sides. Like no-enter zones, no-bother times, etc. etc. Of course, they're also entitled to off-times when I shouldn't bother them, LOL! Perfect time for me to be on my own, huh? :)

    I might want a cook but not one that lived with me. Maybe someone that came in a few times a week and prepared a few dishes and left them in the refrigerator for me. A once a week maid would be ok too. I just wouldn't want anyone living in my house that worked for me.

    for me, i just don't see the point. i don't care abt the privacy part, but i don't want to be dependent on someone else. my family can very well afford a chauffeur and a maid, but that sort of relaxed lifestyle just doesn't suit me. i'd hate to get all spoilt and lazy, and i like being independent, thank you very much.

    I had a Hispanic housekeeper. The only problem is she didn't speak English and my Spanglish is terrible. I never felt comfortable with her because we couldn't communicate. So I finally let her go. I also felt that I cleaned before she got there. I mean picking up is the worse part anyway. So now I just do it myself.

    Help sometimes would be nice but I wouldn't like having someone around all the time. A driver would be nice when I go out with my friends though.

    I`ve been on the "servant" side and yes I would want them if I could afford them, theres ways of being private in your own home.

  • 1 decade ago

    I would love to have people to help me because I have some physical issues that limit me. I'd adjust to their presence.

    I really can't see me with servants though, I'm too much of a peasant!

    Yes, i'd take the cook and maid.. No nanny for me. I like my kids most days.. lol..
