DH just reprimanded our maid while we were in the lift…he told her "next time when I’m discussing things, don’t stand there, trying to listen, listen"…
I was not at the scene but according to DH, he was in a discussion with his insurance agent at the living room sofa. During their discussion, my maid kept standing at their side doing nothing watching keenly at documents, computer screen and "listening very attentively" on what they were talking…
As their conversation revolves confidential issues like income, expenditure, sum insured, etc, DH who’s more of a cautious person feels that she should mind her own business instead of being nosy here…
My maid, eyes red red, rebutted him in mandarin that 我在做我的东西! Then looked at him in a somewhat buay song kind of look then say "sir don’t like that say!"…
Somehow I feel a bit apologetic to her…overall she’s good and I rely on her very much since the birth of my DS2 and DS3…she’s been with us for almost 6 yrs (leaving us soon in jun)… But I din jump to her defense coz it will embarrass DH plus she really being nosy lately…eg when my gal started piano lesson recently, I left gal with teacher at the living room but my maid stay at there (pretend to hang laundry at the balcony but I caught her watching them), she even joke with my daughter by counting the beats and clapping happily… In another occasion, she was standing behind my hubby (while carrying my bb DS3) watching how my hubby login to DBS Internet banking…She also gossip things about us to my mil…
Personally, I’m someone who doesn’t like confrontation and conflicts so now I am feeling really awkward, feel like telling her it’s ok, just dun do that again but scared 越描越黑…should I just let the episode pass? I also scared she’ll vent it or my children? Or add ingredients on DH food or drink…hai am I thinking too much? -

Jun is only another 1+ months.....as long as not overboard, I think should just let it pass. NO point triggering her wrath now....好聚好散。 At this point in time, the maid will have no fear liao....so better be more careful

Same as my maid. Latest 6.30 am she will get up before us to open up all the windows, doors etc. and get herself cleaned up then make our breakfast when I next one to wake up at about 7 am.What time does your maid sleep? Does she usually have 8 hours of rest?
My maid usually sleeps around 11pm+ after she is done with all her chores and she will get up at around 6am+.

I’ve asked my maids before. They have to eat rice to feel full. Noodles and porridge can’t fill them up. They also love bread. One of my maids could polish off a whole loaf in a day or two. But it’s okay. They have to have full stomachs to do their job. Oh, I had a maid who ate rice for breakfast!
Then I had one maid who cooked a lot for herself to eat. Chicken soup etc which I didn’t realize. Only realised when i changed maids and my grocery shopping which only lasted me 3 days with the old maid lasted one week with the new one! -

My New Maid Eats A Heaping Soup Bowl of Rice for her Meal ....I've asked my maids before. They have to eat rice to feel full. Noodles and porridge can't fill them up. They also love bread.

A 10kg Pack of Rice used to Last our Family ~1 mth, and Now is Finished in <2 wks ....
And Polish off A Loaf of Extra-Large Pack of Bread in 1 day ....
But I Agree, Let them Eat Their Fill, Then Got Strength to Do work ....
Now Can See, she Smart Already, ....
Cut Down On Rice, But Cook Extra Large Portion of Multiple Dishes instead ....
Result? My Grocery Depleted Twice as fast as when I got my Prev Maid ....
