All About Full-Time Maids

Thanks buds!


Not only working in society, must upgrade to make self useful. Now even being a woman also must upgrade.

Heyya KS_me,


Thanks for sharing the video. And no... pls dun slash or harbour such thoughts, or you'd be in for it with her... I agree with you, it IS horrific and very very sad to watch the ordeal. I feel for the child and the parents. Poor children to be under such care..

Hope the maid gets black listed after her sentence... It's horrifying
to imagine if she may come back and work for one of us! The face not so clear. God help us.... it's a child she was torturing, and for just trying to answer nature's call...

Btw, KS_me... your smiley very cute. Boxing seems an apt timing while sharing the maid link. Makes me feel like working out the punches... so fuming to watch.

Hi Buds,
Am back to the forum today and see this thread went so hot! I know alot of working mum out there like me worrying everyday for the little ones at home, that's why I posted immediately after my friend yahoo me this link to create awareness.

Am \"No guts\" to watch once more as my whole hearts goes to the poor girl being given a flying kicks (she can't do much except crying) ... even when the maid stepping on her back... she can only

ARGH!!! IF only I can do magic pull out that girl from that video clip and give the maid a super left , right, upm down tight slap!!!!

I felt the pain directly pounded to my heart and tears for the little girl while watching...

I'm one of those who installed cam at home and view it live while I'm working.. just like what I'm doing now.. with many windows open on my desktop to monitor.
I always call back immediately when I see my maid is doing something funny and also keeping good contact with my direct neigbour just in case...

To my horror to watch this clips!!! I feel like taking the \"parang\" and slash the maid into pieces!!! :x :x :x :x

Oh my God!
Such a heartless animal.
I hope she's prosecuted.. I hate her!

That’s why till now we didn’t employ maids cos’ one of this reason. so scary!!!

was wondering, even if install spycam, does it helps? what if the maid knows about it and purposely do something to the child in bathroom or what? unless the parents install the spycam in toilet?? :?

I think we can only monitor so much.

I don’t trust my maid still… and think she’s more of a liability.
She’s been caught going through my things, not cleaning my boy’s bottles properly (didn’t use the brush to scrup the teats), wiping my bedroom floor with cloth used for wiping the toilet, not looking after my boy (my boy almost swallowed a metal piece that came loose from his tambourine when she was sitting by his side in the playpen while we ate dinner, because she was engrossed watching TV), to name a few… sigh.
Bad experiences with the previous 2 also.
I know that not all maids are bad, but I think the added stress to getting the right one is just not worth it.
Weekly cleaners seem a better deal.

I think don't reply the maids to take care of the kids at home while working. What do you think?

You have to be careful about installing recording devices in the bathroom. The maid may make a case against you regarding invasion of privacy. My advise is not to do it, but maybe install one outside the bathroom and insist that the door be opened all the time when the child is inside.
