hi all this computer lesson bluff ppl one...my coll's maid also said that she has comp lesson...later when check wt the school, found out she din even sign up...
Since she is going for her class during her off days and using her own $ to pay for the fees. I do not care what exactly she does. But my maid is matured and have been with me for 4yrs+ so I trust that she is not lying. -
SMH FOREST:
If cannot stand her anymore, why dun you send her back to agency first if there is someone (family members) who can help you for a short period of time? Else you will be more frustrated and stressed out seeing her daily.hquek:
huh? sensitive to ask right? I'll close one eye as long as the job is done.
Yes... i am not one to probe about this. But then again, I barely talk to this current maid cos of the issues we had. Didnt wanna correct her too much on the schedules so that I dont get a black face... and also cos' i think no pt since i want a replacement??? Problem is, dunno how long that will take!!!! :frustrated: -

OIC. guess then no choice just let her do the basic stuff and avoid talking much and wait for the replacement to come.

I give my maid off for 9 hours. The 1 hour extra is for travelling time on bus.

Which means I gave my maid 12hrs is more than enough…But well, sometimes they just take things for granted.

Agree.

Hihi,
I am a FTWM with 2 kids. My mum is staying with me to supervise my maid. This FIL maid is my 3rd and had been wth me for the past 9 months.
She normally eats what we eat. We bring her to restuarants too.
Can I check, do you all allow your maid to choose what they want to eat in restuarant? Cos I realised that my maid nit very zi dong and tend to choose the mid range stuff or something that is not easy to eat, thus taking a long time to eat while hb, my mum and I gobbled down our food to help with the kids.
There had been occasions that we ordered for her (w/o asking her) and ended up she refused to finish her food bcos what we ordered is not to her liking.
During times like that, I really peh chek. Heartache at the $$ wasted. -
need to ask, if my maid agree to conti for 3 more months, how much is the WP extension i need to pay , any one know ? any is there such thing as 6 months Wp and also the insurance ?
