      Go to bed at 8-9 PM still naps in the afternoon???? cannot believe mah :?

      She only has to clean house...nothing very much to do really.

      If don't have to wake up at night to feed baby, basically just do housework, why is a nap still needed ? For my maid, she doesn't need to mop everyday...even my neighbour told me get her to mop daily. I tell my maid to wash car when it's not hot...can understand how tiring it is under the sun.[/quote]Dunno leh, perhaps it's cos nothing left to do (how many times can you clean a cabinet); and the whole house is sleeping in the afternoon, so may as well catch up on some zzz's.

      Anyway, after she was caught she didn't do it again (at least not to my knowledge). Think so long as the required work is done, I don't want to think too much and wonder where her time has gone.

            When my gal was learning to crawl, my maid has to mop the floor daily. But after she learnt to walk, I reduce mopping to twice a week but still must vacuum daily. Other than that, washing toilet is also daily.

            When I had a maid, I closed one eye and wasn’t fussy with her because my son required my attention a lot (studies).

              My maid is a complain queen. She complains when i'm in the toilet too long. She tells me to hurry up and bangs on the door like it's her business. I think i said this before, but she also sings randomly and laughs when i say thank you, which made me feel awkward. The worst thing is that she throws my homework which has been blown onto the ground by the strong wind into the dustbin :stupid: infact she doesn't even check. And she spoils my sister by giving her what she wants everytime, and when she cries, give way to her. And she has to mop the floor and 'clean our rooms', like, twice a day, which is ridiculous. Not forgetting the fact that she has no manners at all. She once just barged straight into my room when my door was closed and iwas changing and had my underwear OFF. After i told her off she said, \"what. you only small boy what. still so fussy.\" and some other crap. Didn't even apologise. I felt like showing my finger, but i'm a polite guy, so i didn't. And what happens after that? My mum didnt even scold her or ask her to apologise! She just said 'be careful next time'. aaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!!!!!! And it's also not the first time!!!!!!! :stupid:
