She Kicked Her Housekeeper Out After She Helped Herself To A Special Cake She Purchased For Her Daughter
This 24-year-old woman is married to her 28-year-old husband, and together they have a 4-year-old daughter named Alaia.
She and her husband work a ton of hours, but luckily, she is able to work from home with a lot of frequency.
She noticed her house really needed to be cleaned, so she reached out to an agency and arranged to have a girl come over and clean for a rate of $40 an hour.
The housekeeper named Eva, arrived at her house to clean, and she was surprised that she brought her 8-year-old little sister along with her.
She questioned Eva about why she thought it was ok to bring her sister, and Eva stated there was nobody else to babysit her so she had to come too.
“I wasn’t very pleased but assumed she didn’t have a choice and didn’t say anything,” she explained.
“I showed Eva the playroom of my daughter and said it was to be cleaned as well, and her sister started staring around the room, touching all the toys. I again didn’t say anything.”
Eva got to work, and she went into her bedroom to get ready to buy a special cake for Alaia as well as pick her up from school that day.
Suddenly, she heard a loud noise coming from Alaia’s playroom, and she ran down the hall to see what it was.

Eva’s sister had broken a glass bowl in the playroom that she had custom-made after her daughter was born.
She was upset about the broken bowl but informed Eva she had to clean up the mess and pay better attention to her little sister.
She left her house to go grab the special cake that Alaia adores. It has a lot of beautiful decorations, as well as strawberries on top of it.
She arrived home, placed the cake in the fridge, and left once more to go get Alaia from school. She and Alaia came back, and she was excited to surprise Alaia with the special cake.
But when she walked into the kitchen with Alaia, she was stunned to see Eva’s little sister sitting there, eating an enormous piece of cake. The slice had most of the decorations on it, too, she disappointingly noted.
Any time a housekeeper has come to her home, she has never had an incident where they freely helped themself to anything in their fridge, as that’s not appropriate.
“I asked Eva what she thought she was doing, and she told me, “My sister was sad and really wanted cake, so I figured she could have a piece,” she said.
“Alaia started crying because she had been looking forward to her cake with strawberries, and now the piece with strawberries was gone. I told Eva that it is not her place to figure whether her sister could eat something from my fridge without asking me.”
“She could have waited for me to get back because I told her I would be back. I told her that even if she did do this, she should have not taken the whole decorated piece because she could’ve also figured that this cake was meant for my daughter.”
Eva retorted that she was getting angry for no good reason and that she should deduct the price of the cake from her pay.
She let Eva know she needed to pack up and leave without finishing the cleaning. Eva was only cleaning her house for two hours and was supposed to be there for three, but she still paid her $120 and told her to get out of her house.
Later on, she recounted what had happened with Eva to one of her friends, and her friend thinks she really went overboard over just a piece of cake.
Her friend doesn’t understand why she wasn’t more sympathetic to Eva’s little sister. She pointed out to her friend it’s not about the cake; it’s bad manners to dig through someone’s fridge and eat something.
She’s left wondering if it was mean of her to have handled things with Eva the way that she did.
