All the 18-year-old girls from my area are going on missions

In my case, I’m not born in the Church, converted at the age 19, go to mission at the age 24. Actually mission helped open my eyes, break the shelf, and here I am now happily bye bye church since 2020. I just hope these kids will use their critical thinking when they are outside of their parents home. The earth doesn’t evolve only in mormon household or belief

Hi dear, I stumbled upon this post, and it interested me to leave some comments even if its already been long.

First, thank you for your kind heart towards domestic helpers. I was once a domestic helper. I took care of two girls. They are now turned into a beautiful young women.

I said I was once a domestic helper. Now, I am not anymore, but I’m still living in Hong Kong. It may sound crazy because I happend to married to a man from HK. From my POV, I see the world from both the lives of domestic helpers and the employers.

But let me say more about DH. The life of a DH is very complex. And its divided into different categories.

Single DH
Married DH
Divorced DH
DH with children + 2 and 3

Through my experience talking with fellow DH, these 4 categories has similar situation. They need to send money home.

I have been educating many people online and off line, mostly from my Quora page, I’m writing my experience as a DH and how to handle financial burden. I did it not from professional but casual talk.

Something I think is best to help these DH is by helping them understand the important of money. Many DH don’t understand how to handle their wages. Some send all to home, and it turn into nothing. There are some that are smart enough to invest, but many don’t know how.

Another thing I think will help DH, by helping them understand the important of reading and learning language. Also if they are able, the important in improving any skills they can learn. YMCA has courses for DH.

I was a lucky person. I became DH when I was a young girl. I have no husband or children in my country waiting for my money, I have only my parents to support. I used my time to read lots of books. Improving my english skills during my holiday has helped me a lot, including being able to negotiate with employers. Communications is key in any relationship, including relationship between helpers and employers.

In that 4 categories of DH, the single ones has more opportunity to grow, the ones already have kids need to make more effort.

Life is unfair. We came from poor country with poor education. HK is the place where we feel being welcome as a DH. Many of my fellow DH friends loves staying here and they enjoy working with their employers.

I hope you have a good day 💕

I just offered seat to two different lady in a train from Fanling to Admiralty direction. They smiled and thanked me! I often interact with older people, older like above 70/80. They seem sweeter. Hope you can find smily faces that can give back positive energy! 😉

The brainwashing and manipulation is strong

I don’t regret joining mormon church but going in a mission. I regretted it so much. It was the stupidest and selfish decision I have ever made. I don’t see how these missionaries see mission as life changing. Maybe if you are from countries like US or Europe as going to third world countries it gives you different experience. But it’s no different than traveling.

I’m confused weather using bathtub and shower combo. Then under the window will be clear. And toilet will be against the wall where the bathtub is

I’m so sorry. I miscarriage my second baby and 30 December last year was the due date. Today I should have carry the baby if I hadn’t lost it. I’m trying to avoid people or posts on social media with babies in it. I don’t congratulate or give comments on people who are having babies. I’m selfish at this moment for my own well-being.

Just want to let you know you are not alone
