I don't think there is anything wrong per se with having domestic help. Quantitiy is merely a technicality.
One just needs to know where to draw the line in order to maintain parental responsibilities, and obviously treat staff well.
So theoretical, so good.

Reference what Paul Krugman said below, we Westeners look at the issue of 'sweatshop' workers from the wrong perspective, and I’d add lowly paid maids or indebted labourers to that.
Whatever we might consider appalling work conditions may still be infintely preferable for those who do it to abject poverty, prostitution, life on the streets or in slums, and no regular income at all.

E.g., our maid built a house for her family and our old clothes kit out entire streets back in Colombo.
