      Mrs Ang,

      If the maids had used the softener for their hair and skin, then perhaps they will smell nicer.
      :rotflmao: I can totally understand that!!!!!
      My previous maid like to use my kitchen fruit knife as a screwdriver, can opener, dirt digger (whatever that for) and everything else EXCEPT to cut a fruit.

            I told my maids NEVER to mix up the cloths - kitchen cloth for wiping table and drying bowls/plates. Floor cloth for wiping up stain/juice on the floor. NEVER MIX. So I have diff colour for diff purpose.


            Can die getting instructions INTO their thick skull.

              I never had a maid when I grew up and as a SAHM for the past 11 years with 3 kids, never had one till 3 weeks ago…just delivered my 4th kid, 3rd is 18th months so forced to get a maid from hubby and my own mother cuz if not she will nag at me till she gives me a heart attack but I totally agree that though tiring, I’d rather not have a maid cuz now I am getting paranoid (in my other post about maid issues). Thinking of letting her go than I will have peace of mind.


              Hubby is working in KL and I am alone with 4 kids and have to mind a maid now.

                With 4 kids, I think you really need that extra pair of hands. Wow, 4 kids !
                Can you cope without a maid esp since you just delivered ?

                  most ppl say having a maid is like having to look after another child. so really salute you.
