    Pretty normal for middle-class people in some parts of the world.

      My middle-class parents had servants in the 60s (America, the South). They basically had “mammies” to cook and clean and raise the girls. LOL, like my useless mother ever had a day job. (Is “mammie” racist now?)

      I’ve thought of offering a deal to a homeless dude. “You can stay at my camp and do as you please, just do a little work here and there, make yourself scarce when I come around.”

      Would that be weird?
