Consider each extra helping hand a boon! ;-)<BR/>Seriously speaking, I have seen enough of what maids do at my parents' house never to want one!

And a very Happy New Year.<BR/> <BR/>I think maids have become inherent part of our lives or may be WE have made them the ultimate driving force of our family which is a consequence of not having to work 'That' extra hard and each member not sharing the household responsibility.
