You are making an incorrect assumption that people hire out certain jobs because those jobs are beneath them and they therefore feel that the people doing them are inferior. You are also wrong to assume that people doing these jobs feel demeaned by certain aspects. Which was my point about the "spooning excrement" portion of my work in a lab. Just because YOU find something to be icky/demeaning/too morbidly intimate doesn't mean that other people think so. Having cleaned houses myself in college (mentioned in another post), I never had any emotional reponse to the toilet cleaning whatsoever. Perhaps that's because my employer didn't act like "lord of the manor" as you assume people do. She acted like it was what it was- a job that I would do if she gave me X amount of $. This feudal relationship is in your head. This is not a master/servant thing. This is a market exchange of work for money.

What made you ask that? could you clarify?
So do you think that scrubbing toliets is a menial and mundane job not moral??
I'm going by the facts that are in this thread.
<<Do you know for sure the circumstances of how each employer met their nanny or housekeeper? >>
No, but then again I haven't claimed to.
