I clean a house that once had a staff.
The house was built sometime between 1910 and 1920. It still has a bell in the kitchen that would summon housemaids to various rooms in the house. The back stairs are still there, that the servants once used so their comings and goings would not disturb the family. Upstairs on the third floor there are small rooms, that were once the servants' quarters.

The first woman who lived there possibly cooked a meal once a week, and might have done some sewing. Everything else was done by other women who considered themselves fortunate to live in someone else's house, and work 10 to 12 hours a day for a few dollars a week.

Roosevelt's New Deal, post World War II prosperity, that moved blue collar workers into the middle class,the Civil Rights Movement meant women could chose a better life than being the hired help.

I think what conservatives really want is a return to those good old days, when good help was anything but hard to find. It must have been very nice to be the lady of that house once upon a time. I can tell you, from experience. It is not nice to be the person who cleans said home.
