Kids should be taught to respect the maid. I have seen/read far too many cases where spoilt brats just order the maid around and even scold them. They must have learned from their elders :( <strong>Kids always learn from their elders.

Kids always learn from their elders. We’re the first influences, followed by tv and outside influences but we’re the first!
