Beautiful househelps have become wives' worst nightmare. As such, should they involve their men on househelp selection?
Betty John, Beautician: Yes, once married, you become one. It's good to consult each other and work as a team. Even when you want to buy utensils or food, let him be in the picture so he can feel like part of the family.
Caren Ouma, Teacher: When interviewing a potential househelp, he doesn't need to be there but he should know that I am looking for a househelp. I am a strong believer in team work. A lot of decisions are mine but mostly, I consult. My husband was never excluded from the kitchen when growing up which makes it easier for us to work together.
Gladys Muendi, Businesswoman: He is not permitted. Sharing about what I am doing is quite OK but I believe it's my core duty to plan domestic issues.
Beatrice Amono, Social Worker: It’s very important for them to know. If he gives you money, you need to account for it to bring harmony in the home. The woman may fall sick so if they are in harmony, the man steps in automatically to help.
