Interviewer: Samantha(S)
Interviewee: Housekeeper(X)
S: How do you describe your role in your family?
X: For me we belong to a poor family. I talk to my husband, we decide to go overseas to work and his the one to take care of my daughter. I’m the one to provide for their needs, because I told my husband better to resign his work, watch over my daughter because I don’t want anyone else to take care of my daughter, so that my daughter can grow up with the guidance of her father. Because someone else takes care of my daughter, its hard for us to change the attitude of the children. So I want my husband to monitor my daughter.
S: Do any people comment on your role within your family/house?
X:For me it's not too hard to be away from my family, I’m still enjoying working because I’m providing for their needs, sending them money or presents. This makes me happy. But I don't feel like I’m a traditional housewife since I’m working outside the country. I feel happy I’m working for one family, because I treat them like my family, my enjoyment already given to Samantha’s family. As I treated Samantha and her brother like my children.
S: What do you always wear when you are at home? Which aspects of the garments are you looking for?
X: I wear whatever makes me feel comfortable, so I am looking for garments with soft fabric.
S: What are the differences between your home wearing and what you wear outside the house?
X: I consider a lot about matching the style and color when I need to go outside, while I never think about those at home.
S:Do you have a favorite piece of clothing that you like to wear at home?
X: My stripe shorts.
S:Do you have a favorite piece of clothing that you like to wear at work/while working?
X: I like wearing dark color high waist shorts with T-shirt.
