WAAAHOWWWWW!!! I have soooooooooo much to say about your little thread but i'll keep it in, just point out one thing to you. Read your statement as follows - "I for one dislike the idea of having a live-in maid! I think it is an invasion of privacy and it teaches parents to be LAZY and dependent."
What the F do you think you're being demanding a dishwasher and dryer. dont claim to be old fashioned when you too have become DEPENDANT on modern "luxuries". you are teaching your kids to be lazy. stop bledy complaining and just do the damn dishes...

whoo, i feel better now.... :)
