Did any other parents say anything to your child that made you angry?

Not my baby. The children I took care of when I was an au pair student in South Africa.

Because I am an employee, I often get close to the housekeeping staff who clean the house every day. The housekeeper I work with comes from a poor family, but she is very young. She is very religious and reads the Bible every day. She is amiable.

But my boss thinks she is incompetent and teaches her daughter to look at her in the same way. In front of her daughter, she often tells her servants how stupid she is and laughs at her for making a simple mistake. This is terrible. She will tell her that if her employer can't finish so much work in a day, she will be in trouble and even be deducted from her salary.

For a while, she began to believe that the domestic workers were casting black magic on her because the milk had been opened. She has never talked to the staff and knows that she is a devout Christian and will not participate in such things.

Calling herself stupid and incompetent in front of others affected her daughter. Her daughter began to imitate her mother. Whenever something went wrong, she would wave her hands in the air and show an insult. She is only 10 years old, but when talking to this maid in her twenties, she seems to be her boss.

Then, she started talking to me like this.

Parents didn't teach their children to respect everyone when they were young, which made me angry. The way some parents treat others will be imitated by their children, and it is irresponsible to portray themselves as superior. Especially in South Africa, we are actively correcting past mistakes (it must be pointed out that the lady I work for is not white, but she is still a racist).

Anyway, the family began to lack money, and finally I was fired. After that, I worked for a Afrikaans-speaking family, and they were very friendly to the employees who worked for them. So their daughter always has the best (her father is a good man and has enough money to give her the whole world) and has never been cruel to anyone. She is the cutest girl I have ever seen, which is the result of my education to respect everyone.
