why do so many need maids too? Is it a status symbol or can they just not do abit of ironing and cooking?
The theory behind the maids is that the maid can do all the boring household tasks leaving the parents to spend more quality time with their offspring. What actually happens is that the maid does the housework and raises the children while the parents go out and have fun. Many children in Dubai are raised by maids. It is possible to raise normal, well-adjusted children in Dubai but it is harder than it would be at home. When the kids eventually leave Dubai the collision with reality can be dramatic.
