      eg, my fren kena one that changed bedsheets by putting new ones over the old. It took her employers a couple of weeks before they realise the bed was getting taller....and they were running out of bedsheet. :stupid: :stupid:

        Was the maid asked to 'change bedsheet' or 'put new bedsheet'. šŸ˜‰

          not sure, but if the latter, she really must be very smart to dissect the meaning lor.

            Either the maid do it on purpose or no IQ.

            if the maid also do that for HER OWN bedsheet - then no IQ but if she didn't - 100% on purpose ! :x

              People like them, sometimes must really close 1 eye.


              My helper scrubbed my bermudas (pretty new, wore 2-3 times only) until there was a hole...somewhere near the groin. Since it's a small hole and I intend to just patch it, remind her not to scrub so hard. Guess what's her reaction when I told her not to scrub so hard.........

              \"NOOoooo Mdm, I didnt' scrub. I only use hand to wash lightly.
              (the best part is here....) Mdm, is it you fall down so got hole? 😐\"

              hmmm.....she must have been falling down a lot then....my poor parquet floor is full of holes/deep scratches/cracks ever since she came......damn heartpain åæƒē—›ć€‚

                You must be ballet trained...to be able to fall down in precisely that manner so as to create a tiny hole. hee hee.

                About washing clothes, I quite give up. First maid use bull strength - my clothes cannot last long. DH didn't dare let her wash some of his more treasured shirts.

                2nd maid dunno what is strength, clothes not clean but can last very long.

                3rd one now and I give up wondering what level strength she use. šŸ˜›

                    :!: :!: thats terrible.. i prefer the maids who own up their mistakes even if they are big mistakes rather than telling lies and making up stories :stupid:
                    I think it's like that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, a myth. So far my 2 indo maids would keep quiet and start red eyes if I ask whether something was done by them. The current myan one? Give me blur look and use the language as a barrier.

                    In all, they are not the untruthful type - at least they don't steal. But sometimes it's very tough trying to explain to them. Haizzzz

                      I already give up.....you know....sometimes from the way the maid behaves.....they seem pretty similar to the traditional MIL......
                      somehow after scolding one....I turn around to see the other one doing the same things 😢 :frustrated: 😢 Now I can only just bear and wait for the two to go and then I won't need the other anymore.

                        Actually I thot this maid ok....she actually offered to handwash cos' she says washing machine will spoil the clothes (I wash 95% of all my stuff).
                        So I let her help in some selected pieces....but now, I wonder which is safer.....perhaps still the washing machine šŸ™‚
