[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 458242, member: 59"] I saw the movie last night. I thought JFK's funeral set the time period for me in the 60's. I was thirteen at the time. We didn't have maids and didn't know anyone who did. It would have been more likely that my mother would take domestic work. We grew up in the north and I remember the civil rights movement well but none of the families around here had maids except perhaps some of the very wealthiest in the mansions along the lake but I don't even think they did. I guess it's the difference in geographic locations. Immigrants from other countries were settling here and doing most of the manual labor. It's obvious to be me living in the south was a whole different ballgame. Nancy [/QUOTE]
