      So far the maids I have are from near Surabaya. Both of them are ok - minor stuff here and there but generally ok.

        My mum's new maid is great. Working well w my maid.

        Think those that come from Surabaya training centre like the both of them are better!
        I think maids from Java are much better than those from other parts of Indonesia. If you can avoid, try NOT to get maids from Lampung.

                >Limlim’s second reply: -.- I should have put that in my signature. But i cant attach a signature, even though this is phpbb.

                >limlim’s first reply: I doubt it was an accident. I changed at the usual time and closed my door. My maid is a Christian. and the way she talks to me makes me further doubt that it was a simple ‘accident’.
                >Angelight: Can’t agree more.

                  My second maid from Lampung! When I told my first maid, she also goes \"Urp!\" :lol:

                  I ask why? She said \"stubborn\". Dunno how true is this. But so far the new young Indon. maid quite OK.

                    My maid from Lampung is crude, ill-mannered and terribly unrefined as compared to the Java maids I had. From what I recall, my first maid ever told me that 'Mam, don't get Lampung maid. They very rude'. It's rather true. When my (Lampung) maid first brought my daughter to playground at parents' place, the others approached her and when they found that she is from Lampung, they all avoided her.

                    My maid was :? how come they all avoided her...I personally saw the other maids talking among themselves and ignoring her.

                        Hi Snowman…aside frm yr maids rudeness, I think she is quite responsible with her work, honestly, its really very hard to get a maid to mop twice a day… I know it can b kind of irritating when we are in the room but she is keeping the room clean while perhaps u guys hv been messing up. I dunno how old yr sis is but as a mother myself, I rather she give my child wat she wnts than to hv her threatening and abusing her. There are many maids that threaten and beat kids in order to stop them frm crying.

                        My girl is 10 and just like u, she cant stand the maid wiping the floor when she is in the room too… neither does she like her homework or text books to be touched. Ive told my maid to wipe her room when shes not in and not to touch her worksheets… ive also told my girl to put her things back properly if she does not want the maid to "mess things" up for her.
                        I agree yr maid is rather rude and u really deserve some privacy. I guess u shld speak to yr parents about her attitude and how u feel, see wat they can do about it yah? 😎
