Dear Amy: I am a housekeeper for the best family in the world. I know they love me and we share mutual respect. I am paid $400/week. I’m not starving, for sure. But the problem is that on holidays and my birthday, the gifts are mostly clothes from stores I will never go to. I cannot afford to maintain these clothes — the dry cleaning is not cheap. I do not need nor want a designer cashmere sweater, because it’s as if I had a Mercedes Benz, but couldn’t afford the oil change! Please tell your readers that I (and other domestic workers) would rather have cash.
