I think a lot of people have trouble understanding the threads the OP starts. Maybe it's difficult for her to be very clear with how she explains things due to her disability though? Some of us thought the cleaner was assigned to her by CPS or some other agency and was mandatory or something. I really don't see any other reason for the cleaner to tell her how she should clean or not buy toys etc... for her child or to talk to the land lord unless she was appointed by someone to do this.

Okay, it's a confusing situation and like you all I'm a single mom.

Do any of you get any housekeepers ?  If so tell me your reasons why you do ? Which I imagine the reasons are the same as why I want a housekeeper not that I actually need it .

So, imagine if your housekeeper did something so wrong that you had to fire her as in a Housekeeper because her only duty was to clean the house.

Her duty was not to give parenting advice.

You wouldn't want someone going into your house or apartment  whose only there for cleaning to give you parenting tips.

So , how would you feel if you got a call from the landlord if you live in a rental unit to come down to the office to see the person there telling the landlady how your not letting her in to help keep the place clean ?

Especially when that lady did not have any permission to contact the landlord.

Also, how would you feel if a landlord did have a actual concern  but lied to you in your face about it. Then five months later you get the notice of the concern in front  of  a cleaner  who you fired because she tried to  act like your mother and your child mother ?

After all, we are Mom's no one should ever try to Parent us or Parent Our Kids.

I still don't understand why someone on Section 8 has a housekeeper.  This is coming from someone on major benefits too.  I've never understood this.

From what it sounded like in the original thread before I thought the house keeper was mandatory for some reason, but then she said no she was hired and she charged a lot less then other house keepers.

IMO if you're in section 8 housing can you really afford a house keeper? Maybe you can have a friend or neighbor watch your son while you do a deep clean once a week or something? That way there is no nosy house keeper telling you what to do.

Mamita- That's a  good solution maybe I wil see if my friend jasmine would be able to watch Brendan on a weekend then that way I could really deep clean.

Yes, having a housekeeper makes it a really tight budget that I end up nearly broke by the time the month is over.
