New Delhi, July 24 -- A Reddit user, living alone for the first time, has found that handling a houshelp is tricky. Here's why.

The user's regular househelp took leave for May and arranged a substitute. The substitute was paid in full. Then, the user left for a family emergency on May 27 and returned on June 23. Since then, the househelp resumed work. On July 23, the user paid her for one month, but she asked for two, June and July.

"Every month, I usually go visit my family for a few days, my parents live about 2-3 hours away and need help with some personal stuff. During those trips, since it's my fault I'm not at home, I've never reduced her pay," the user wrote.
