She was wearing her fuzzy pink hat and she was happy, which was so obnoxious. She'd become one of those people who waltzed through life without so much as a split end, and I was still one of those people who changed diapers for free but still got treated like a rented mule. Lorraine Zago Rosenthal
About This Quote

People who get treated like hired help, don't get treated like that anymore. They are no longer treated like hired help, they get treated like dignified human beings. The quote by Anne Lamott describes how ridiculous it is to treat people like hired help. I understand this feeling of being treated like hired help because I was once treated like a rented mule.

The thing is, people who treat you like a rented mule don't realize that you had some serious value to offer. Most people don't value their own time and effort enough to make you feel appreciated, but some people do.
