“We will hire a second maid” — Husband’s proposal after housemaid’s pregnancy stirs reactions

A woman has sparked widespread discussion online after sharing her dilemma over what to do after discovering that her housemaid is six months pregnant and no longer able to carry out her duties as before.

According to the woman, the housemaid initially denied being pregnant before eventually admitting it when the pregnancy had advanced to six months.

While describing the maid as someone who had always taken excellent care of her children, she said the pregnancy had left her frequently exhausted, forcing her to take over most of the household chores herself.

The situation became more complicated after her husband rejected her plan to pay the maid her final salary, buy baby essentials for her and let her leave before childbirth.

Husband’s proposal divides opinion

The woman said, “Mums here who have employed house maids, please, how do you deal with a situation where the house maid becomes pregnant? At first, she completely denied that she was pregnant, but now she has finally confirmed it, and she’s quite far along. Already 6 months gone already. She has always been wonderful with the children, but lately, she seems to be getting very tired. It’s more like I’ve become the house maid instead. Cuz she’s no longer helpful around the house ,either just sitting around or sleeping”

Social media users react

The post has generated mixed reactions on social media, with many users debating whether the family should retain the pregnant housemaid or allow her to leave with financial support.

Others questioned the husband’s insistence on keeping her after childbirth and his dismissal of the proposed DNA test, while some praised him for showing compassion towards someone who had cared for the family’s children.
