Note that if you have a single person do the laundry, take care of the children, etc., only select "General Domestic / Maid".

I employ all of these! The boot boy is my favorite. Nothing like a good boot boy to serve all your boot needs!

I guess this puts a new meaning into "self-employed"

Hilarious! Gee, guess I'm really talented since I do everything myself except big plumbing and electrical stuff. Do you really think that rich folks who can employ all these types of helpers are actually on forums such as this?

We have a robot to clean our pool. Sorry pool boy, you are outdated.

We also have robot vaccuum lceaners, but they do nto work well enough yet to replace human vacuuming. They have robot lawmowers too, but they only work on very flat lawns.

We employ tutor for some of our kids in some areas (trumped, math).

When boots get dirty these days, you just throw them out and buy new ones. Who needs a boot boy? Costs more than new boots.

Do our two 180 pound mastiffs count as security guards? THey serve the same purpose. We only pay them Room & Board, plus medical and dental - and lots of toys for when no one tries to break in and they have nothing to chew on.

So when you say 'employ' do you mean you actually have to pay them or do your kids count?
