Did you ever have that feeling that you were being forced out of your home; being evicted; dispossessed? Not because your mortgage was being foreclosed, but because it was the day that your Mexican cleaning lady was due to arrive. Well, I have. I hate that feeling. They walk into the house and start calling you "Mr." or "Mrs." "(insert your first name here)" and have this need to engage you in conversation. i just hate that also! Obviously, however, not enough to clean my house myself. Then they proceed to invade whatever room in the house that you happen to be in, regardless of how many other rooms there are that might also need attention. Then they start telling you that you didn't do a good job with something that you did in their absence. They seem to take up all the physical and breathing space in the house. So, if you're like me, you find somewhere else to be, like the local bar until you think that they've finished doing your place. You eventually venture back home with the hope that they're gone. Of course, there is no finding anything that they had to deal with, such as lids to your pots and pans, kitchen utensils, the pair of pants that you had on yesterday, etc. Such items have completely disappeared or been put in places that are unimaginable. All in all it takes a few days to get things back to normal and then the cycle starts all over again. Next Thursday they'll be back with their inane chatter, etc. Of course, all of this only costs you $75-100 every week or so. Maybe its time to get one of those robots that dusts, vacuums and straightens up. Maybe I can even find one that will do laundry, ironing and windows and provides some intimate personal services as well. (I hear that there really is such a thing.). I never thought that I would say this, but maybe it is time to just put a stop to illegal immigration as we know it. It certainly has its negative aspects. I can't really believe that Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were made to feel like they were being dispossessed by their household personnel. Let's go back to the good old days when servants knew their place and were inconspicuous around the house and provided some intimate services; i.e., when illegal immigration had a completely different meaning.

I hear you but then again I feel like your setting yourself up to look like a victim in this blog and thats a weak place to be. Fire your maid if she annoys you... get one who doesn't talk... or explain (or have someone who is bilingual) explain how you want things done and where you want things to be put. Bitching is a release but sometimes we overlook our own faults in the matter. She's only doing what you did (or didn't) tell her to do. You're the boss. Make things the way you want them to be... or get rid of the B----!
