The housekeeper chronicles

Do you ever feel like your domestic help is calling the shots rather than you? Over on UrbanBaby.com, a mom is concerned about her cleaning lady's profligate use of supplies and avoidance of "green" products. The cleaning woman, in fact, requests specific non-green cleaning agents, and her employer complies despite concerns that the fumes may affect her baby. Other responders share stories of seemingly impossible levels of paper towel and cleanser consumption, but say they don't care as they are simply happy to have clean homes. And many dispute the value of "green" cleaning, asserting that environmentally-friendly products just do not get the job done. (UrbanBaby.com)
