        I will tell my maids starting from the day that i hire them that they are to dress modestly, ie no sleeveless tops, shorts must not be too short and no figure hugging clothes. So far no problem, cos maybe i also dress conservatively. Also they are not to talk to sir. If they need anything, they must ask me first.

        I wonder if you are not ard, how can they don't talk to sir, if they have questions?

        :?

            If thatโ€™s the case, maybe we should even list "must wear bras at home" as one of the houserule. Canโ€™t imagine even things like that also must list!! Maids!!!

                :!: :!: wah, like dat, I think also must stipulate what type of bra....lacy type also fail right? it's sad when we have to impose such 'rules' but then it's for their safety also.

                Hmmm, if need to buy uniform for them, better include what's underneath.

                Actually I cannot understand the logic. Employers pay maid salary, food, etc; and it seems in many cases their clothings even (I recall having to buy undies for my ex-maid once). I cannot imagine if MY employer got to pay for all these for me. ๐Ÿ˜›

                        For me, as long as she does not lock the door, its fine, cuz DS sleeps in the same room. I also make it a point to knock and wait for her to reply b4 I enter. I want her to feel that she has her own sanctuary that she can go to at the end of the door, albeit with limitations ๐Ÿ˜› ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ˜„
