I fired my domestic staff for serving a bottle of cold water to my husband

"When I was about six months pregnant, I hired a new house-help to do chores at my home. She was twenty years old and eager to please which was a trait I wanted at that time. I was working long hours so I needed someone who could cover for me on the home front.

About two months later (my eight month of pregnancy), I began to get really tired so I had to cut my work hours. And that was when I discovered that my perfect domestic help was not so perfect after all."

One evening, I was lucky to get off work early so I got home before 7pm. Once I entered my home, I asked my domestic help to assist me with very cold water. She explained that there was none in the house as she had only just filled the water bottles for the fridge. I was so parched that I asked her to help me buy a cold bottle of water from a nearby store – which she did. After quenching my thirst, I entered my room to relax but could not settle down as I was restless and uncomfortable. About a half hour later, I heard my husband come home. When he didn’t come to the room, I went out to the living room to see him eating and behold, there was a very cold bottle of water standing beside his meal. In fact, the water was not just cold – it was almost frozen. Standing beside him was my house-help, with one arm on her waist and what I think was a practised ‘sexy’ look on her face.

I called out to my husband and asked him what he was doing. He looked baffled. I asked him what my domestic staff was doing, posing sexily beside him, watching him eat. Once I said that, my husband stood up and I could see he was not expecting my comments at all.

Before he could answer, I turned to the girl and asked her where she got the water from as she’d told me there was no cold water not long ago. She said there was just one bottle of very cold water in the fridge so she decided to keep it for my husband. Obviously, she didn’t want to disappoint the man of the house but the pregnant wife can do without as far as she was concerned. I didn’t say anything. I just turned back to my room. The next morning, I woke her very early and told her to get out of my house – she was fired. I had heard enough stories about besotted young girls and their bosses to take any chance."
