Househelps!

It is my honest opinion, that househelps should form a union to fight for their rights. I know am saying that because now i know how much the shoe pinches. I mean at Nita's house I do evrything, of course except i dont bring food on the table but still, I do everything.
Since Sunday some cousins of Nita from her fathers side came to visit, they look rich. But that is least on my mind what is upstairs in my mind is...even with a bigger number of us in the house now, nobody is helping. I was taught when we are many work should be easy. I mean what would farmers be doing producing more kids if not to provide more domestic and cheaper labour, I mean my grandpa said so. My feeling is that when you increase the number of family members beyond the ones the househelp knows about,isnt it human to increase the wage too.
I cook, they eat, they leave. I am equal here, I am Nita's cousin too..but my downside might be coming from the village, that is why slowly and surely I am been transformed into a local hand here, maybe this youth centre business is not worth all my efforts staying at Nita's I should probably upscale, maybe to other richer relatives, am not sure if going bak to the village will be better, I will have to go help mama in reaping the maize, but .....i have buts still
