Problems with the cleaning lady

[Richmondbread]

Didn't know you are capable of good jokes Richie, good one.

It's not really a joke. It's one of those silly things liberals say.

Give her presents when you feel like to or special occasions/holidays. You aren't supposed to get in a competition.

I was going to make a joke, but you're too big and I don't want you to hit me.

Do you know her more personally or is she just cleaning your house, without limited discussion "Hello - How are you ? Fine Thanks. OK Goodbye" ?

Anyway if you want to please her, you have to know her before

Remember why you hired this person: to work FOR you. So that you can worry less. Business is business, you've paid this person. Let it go. Your sensitivity to what is appropriate might be on "overdrive," I'd suggest.
Be careful not to over-ingratiate yourself to people, because many will take advantage of you in a con-artist sense, I'd further suggest.
Good luck with however you move forward.

While it is lovely she thinks of your daughter, as Toddy above points out above, this is a business deal. The gifts etc. are highly unusual and I'd feel quite uncomfortable receiving them. So much so, I would politely thank her but decline her generosity. I prefer such arrangements to be kept simple and business-like so there is no room for future misunderstandings. However, maybe such relationships are different where you reside.

It's a bit more than that, you can leave the keys to your home and expose all your belongings to that person, so obviously there is a relationship of trust that goes beyond just a regular economic exchange. Still have to keep a balance.

Don't see how its a problem here, the internet gives you the great power of talking shit to people like me without losing your face in the process.

Well, if I lose face, I wouldn't lose too much, as long as you don't pull my hair out, I only have one left and I would be very angry to lose it .

I forgot the joke anyway, so for now I'll keep my face.

Which kind of Basque is supposed you are, Gixajo? Iñaki Perurena would kill you if he could heard you...
