I say hi only and came from a fairly well-off family.

Every additional complaints about my life or happenings in my life that I would have would be unrelatable to the maids and the drivers at our house and it might make them feel uncomfortable.

And have you thought about finding out who your maids and drivers are? Talking to them about their lives?

No interest in learning who they are? What they like? When they have birthday?

If you have a bad day, for whatever reason, you think they couldn't relate to having a bad day?

I know who they are, of course. And birthday and their sons and daughters birthdays. That's how we give gifts. We know who they are and where they are as well - we wouldn't hire them without knowing that.

They couldn't relate - my bad day would be related to losing a few points on a foreign exam or if my favorite restaurant was overbooked.

I can't relate to your examples as well :D

Okay. So that's the reason I didn't want to burden more of the people that work at our homes.

They shouldn't have to share our burden in addition to the work they are doing and potentially feel bad.
