(2,332 posts)As a child. More than once. And send the 'offending' servant home for the day, and deem their spoiled anchor brat cute and funny for what he did, rather than punishing him for being an obnoxious prat.
No matter what our ages, if my brothers or I had been remotely rude to our nanny or to one of the maids my Mum started employing when we were teens, we would have been ground to dust for it. Even my toddler brothers knew better than to tell the nanny she was fired.
Then again, even my narcissistic Mum wasn't so stupid as to be rude to someone helping her out, despite how they were paid to do it and despite how much she was stressed from paying for them when she really couldn't afford it--as if single parents have a choice about it. It really is true that good help is hard to find, so when you do get a winner, the last thing you want to do is alienate them.
