All About Full-Time Maids
-
Maids arrive with one pathetic luggage. Lucky ones will leave with 2 luggages…mum had one who had to buy luggage to bring home her purchases. We bring them along when we shop. This particular maid bought 10 sets of bedsheets ! Imagine the weight. But does she appreciate ? NO. Out of the blue on 2 weekends, she sat on the chair for 3 hours, refusing to budge or prepare lunch. Fearing that she would do something silly, mum decided to send her back.
When I send my rude and horribly stubborn maids home (those with no debts), I use ‘pick up’ service bcos they don’t deserve to be fetched to the airport. I make them pack their things in front of me. They are allowed to bring only their things home, or things they paid with their own money. Clothes, towels, toiletries which I provide are not to be taken. -

Wow, you are good. I never thought to keep the clothes I buy for them. But will consider if attitude really sucks. If you can play '1st day', I also can use '15th'. -

No choice, if the maids' attitude sucks, they don't deserve to take the stuff I provide. After all, those are MY stuff, so they cannot tell the agency or report me as stealing their things. Even if I will dump them, I will not give to them.janet_lee88:

When maids make me hit the roof, I can be hard-hearted and stand there while they pack. Things which are not theirs, I will tell them to take out and put aside. -
I see some people who are not particularly nice to maids, but yet these people get maids who are able to work 2 years for them. Mind you, the maid has to serve 8 people in the household and yet go to the shop to clean up once a week.
I tell the maids from DAY 1 they are not allowed to answer back or be rude. My kids reinforce that. HaHaHa. -

Hi jtoh,
That maid love-sick lah.
She used to work for 2 families b4 we hired her. One family before us made her paint the whole house. When we hired her, her arms were too tired to work and we had to cook and do housework for 2 weeks while she recovered.
Then the last straw for us was for her to receive a letter from boyfriend working in Japan. He sent her pics of him with pictures of naked women pasted around his bed :!: She went haywire and we decided to send her home before she did something drastic. -
