In a reality show called The 1900 House where a British family lived as Victorians the wife let the housekeeper go because she felt weird having a servant. My ex and I were YELLING because to run that household in 1900 you needed a staff! And you aren’t helping that housekeeper by firing her!

that kind of household was a small business! with pensions if they didn’t suck!

I keep quoting Agatha Christie: I thought I would never be so rich that I could own a car or so poor that I couldn't afford a servant
