Zoe along with Guo Liang and Kym Ng had a lively discussion on the boundaries and expectations people set for their helpers.
hire domestic helpers and see them as a “need” for their households, Kym has never had help, nor has she entertained the thought of hiring a part time helper.
“The culture difference doesn’t occur in the sense of varying living habits 'cos those can be changed. I’m referring to emotions. To give an example, I would tell [my helper] to put my spoon on my plate [instead of the table] so it’s clean, and she will start to cry.
But his friend, an older lady, would always say that the helper is someone that “you would never get to know well enough”, a line that left a deep impression on Guo Liang.“I’ve had a helper who was great at everything, she was also a good person and good at her job. But even when I treated her well wholeheartedly and we’re like family, there would always be little things about her that I wouldn't know,” said Guo Liang.his helper would always have things she would not tell him about.
“But when we hire a helper, our goal is to naturally have them assimilate into the family and become a part of it. Because when you’re family, they will look out for your interests. But that seems almost impossible,” added Guo Liang.After the stars traded stories of friends who restricted the lifestyles of their helpers, and those who paid for their helper’s education and treated them like family, Zoe brought up the importance of communication.
She said she would always sit her helpers down for a chat when they first arrive because “it’s easier for girls to talk to girls”.
