17 Things Only Your Domestic Helper Knows About You

With most aspects of your life being aided by your domestic helper, you will be surprised to know that your helper might know you and your family more than you think! 

#1 How many times you fix a Maggi Mee lunch for yourself

If you’re a busy parent with a full-time job, this is definitely what you’ll be “cooking” yourself and it’s no secret – your helper has probably seen all the instant noodles wrappers cluttering about in the thrash.

#2 Where you hide the booze

When you have a long day, you’ll need all the booze you can get (from your secret stash) and only she would know where it is. And it better stay that way!

#3 How messy your underwear drawer is

Your room may be all neat and tidy but only your helper knows how messy the whole inside of your drawers are.

#4 How many times you curse in a day (when everyone is out, of course)

Cursing is inevitable – especially when your kid has made a mess in your room and he’s not there for you to reprimand, so you just have to resort to blurting out random curses that can only be caught on by the one who’s always home.

#5 What the everyday state of your house REALLY looks like

Thank God for domestic helpers – they’re the real superheroes clearing up the mess when you’re not there to do so!

#6 You never have cash

Whenever you need to hand her some cash for a grocery purchase and realise your wallet is empty. She’s there to hear you you go: “Great, where did all my money go?”

#7 Your WiFi password (something the kids will likely bribe her for themselves)

Enough said.

#8 What you really think of your mother-in-law

The in-laws are nice most of the time, but more often than not, they get on your nerves and only your helper knows the pain behind that forceful smile of yours.

#9 How much you actually hate broccoli (shhh… don’t tell the kids!)

Only they know what kind of food we really love… and broccoli is definitely not one of them!

#10 The secret ingredient in your chicken curry your friends keep coming back for

Family recipes are top secret but never limited to the helper of course!

#11 The number of heels you have hidden at the back of the shoe cabinet

This number clearly won’t ever be revealed to hubby dearest.

#12 The number of times you’ve had to book an Uber ride because you were late for work

Your helper’s probably the one who has to deal with your incessant snoozing of the alarm clock and the repetition of the phrase “Wake up already!”

#13 How many boxes of TV dinners are in your kitchen cabinets

Microwave meal after a long days’ work? Yes, please!

#14 How much of regifting you do

Only she will catch you surveying the house for potential gifts. She might even be the one to tell you which one’s good to keep and which one’s aren’t!

#15 What your neighbours think of you

Let’s be honest here, there will always be days where you’ll be the hot topic for gossip amongst the neighbours. The person who would know what your neighbour is actually thinking about you would probably be your helper.

#16 How many times you nod off while your mum is chatting with you over the phone

She better be the only one who knows!.

#17 What your eye rolls mean. Every single one of them.

Everyone has different ways of expressing emotion. Mine’s through my eye rolls.
