One thing I can’t fucking stand is seeing domestic workers and gardeners walking their employer’s dogs
@LaurenIpsumZA It breaks my heart. You have no idea how degrading it is in our culture. The worst is when a black woman does it. Especially because culturally, black people don't hold dogs in as high of a regard as white people.
@LaurenIpsumZA My neighbour's helper washes their cars. In full uniform. I hate that sight with a PASSION.
@LaurenIpsumZA Our domestic worker brushes ours daily. I’ve never asked her to and we do it daily too. She says enjoys the time with them.
@LaurenIpsumZA My employees have a contract. If that includes walking dogs then that's what they do. That's what I pay for. If they don't like it? Theeeeres the door.
@LaurenIpsumZA I’m sure the dogs would disagree - any chance they can get for a walk is great
Why does that bother you so much though? Our domestic workers have had great relationships with our dogs. They get all excited when they arrive. Although ours never walked the dogs as they are ungovernable on a leash, I would have loved it if they could walk the dogs on days that I simply didn't have the time. It also shows there is a high level of trust between the employer and the domestics. Most domestic workers (outside of the fantasy world of Twitter) are basically part of the family and treated really well.
