All About Full-Time Maids

[quote]And btw, not sure about others, I find the stories my maid tell me very mind boggling. Once she had to remit money home. first she say her dad sick, then she say her auntie got cancer. I hear until my brain cramp and refuse to take what she say for real. [/quote]

Just heard this true account of a maid with employer for only 6 mths ...one fine day told employer that child died back home and need to go back....employer very shocked and sad, so give her 4 digit sum(also a few hundreds from another relative) & send her home.....guess what, maid never come back. Employer tried to track her down but no one answer calls , also agent in her country said saw her with her child & she actually told the agent that employer ill-treated her...big time liar . Apparently, this is not the first time something like this \"happened\" to some relative back home & employer also give her some money previously...I think the maid must have planned this for a while already, assess how nice employer is, therefore do a \"small\" one first before doing a \"big\" one and disappear. Really terrible to use such stories to \"cheat\" employer of their kindness and compassion.

Breadandmuffins,

I always hear things like ‘my father very sick, husband need money for son to go to school, xxx go hospital no money’ etc etc. Maids are big time liars. It’s so hard to believe it when they are also big time actors.

I can’t agree more with that statement. My maid has the audacity to tell my mum that I took one of my mum’s clothes “to give to my girlfriend”, when all the evidence is pointing to her. And guess what, i got scolded.


Mainly they use excuses to get what they want… ));

My male colleague was also cheated by his Indian maid. Said son fell off from a building and asked to go back to see him. Indian maid joined his family for less than 3 months. Asked to loan $1,500. Went back and never come back again. He was not convinced when we tried to dissuade him, stubborn actually, until reality sets in.

My maid (at that time was about one month with me) blamed me when I asked her why she cut my lotus flower. :x She said \"mam cut\" in front of my face. If I cut, why should I be asking her. She then blamed my mother and my husband for cutting it. What a liar she is. From that day onwards, I take what she said with a pinch of salt.

My maids are super big time actors and liars. Can you believe mine tried to sow discord between my mother and I ? :x That maid is super idiotic...maybe she can succeed if it is not my mother. As if I won't clarify matters with my mother.

Yes. I think it's obvious from the many posts that maids are not trustworthy so my parents installed a camera. But the camera ain't hot so I wonder if it's a real one.


Adding to my above post, I don't even have a girlfriend. I have 2 close friends that are girls though. And guess what, my mum trusts my maid so much she actually scolded me for being in a relationship right before nationals :stupid:

Your mum kenna poisoned by the maid lah. I told my hubby we must never disagree or have an argument before a maid. It's so stupid to do that. One more thing, I don't allow my maids to have contact with hubby's family because I do not like them to ask about my family.

Hi moonee,

I have no experience but if I were to encounter this, I think I will just take the medical form notification and send maid to see the doctor for check-up anyway! Even though pass deadline should still do since your aunt is keeping the maid. The medical is once every 6 months so this one should \"tahan\" for another few months before the ministry sends another notification again...
