Myanmar maids

That is a lot of rice! :shock: How is her built?I got my maid some inner garments and clothes cos she came with just a few pcs and it definitely wasn't enough. She didn't really want to bath and wash her hair. Sometimes, her hair was so oily that it had a wet look. Finally, I had to tell her very bluntly that she has to bath, brush her teeth and change cos she STINKS! They are just so stubborn!
Mine used to eat 2 packs of 5 KG rice every month. At least 3 of them eats their rice mixed with spoon fulls of cooking oil and salt together with other dishes! So unhealthy.
Actually having Burmese maids was so challenging that I gave up having a maid altogether. I guess if I never got Burmese maids, I'll still have some faith in maids now. Well, at least I'm happier now. -
Hi Bigsnoopy,
Petit built but GIANT eaters. Not even plump…like got worms helping to disgest the food! -
Oh my last Burmese maid had a lot of PRIDE. She doesn’t want anything that is used and even with the new clothes…she wears them only for 2-3 months and she needs a major fashion change. I decided not to spoil her and eventually let her buy her own new clothes.

:rotflmao: mine too. Very skinny but eat a lot of rice but too proud to admit it. I remember she told me she eat one packet a month and when she eat more than 1 pkt, she claim the rice i buy is too soft so she eat a lot and i must buy hard rice for her. Cannot tahan..Hi Bigsnoopy,

We buy 5 kg of rice every 12 days now. Used to be 10 days when maid came. Thats for 3 adults including the maid.... YanYan ... All the mynmars that I hv come across eat rice more than a construction worker, kind of scary. Yours is a unique case, they all love rice, no matter how small they are, their stomachs can stretch larger than 3 stomachs put together. my current maid used to eat raw garlic mix with salt wth her rice n my previous with chilli n rice.
As for their bra, why dont u put it under the fan to dry, If she washes her bra daily it will be ready by the next day. They have this inner traditional garment, Its normally cotton and made by someone in the village, if u really consider buying her bra, better just start with one piece, she may just keep it and not use it. Yr maid just started, why dont u give it a week or two before u start buying

And yes.. they really very slow.. Need to have loads of patience.. She clean 1 toilet, sweep & mop a4 rm flat already took her 3hrs!
I think U need to show her how to speed up by demonstrating or she will be doing it her way. Give her a time table with the time stated. You quote while she write it down herself.
BTW hows her english and her work attitude? -

Her eng is poor..i gave her a eng-burmese dictionary and ask her to study..say i will test her in a week or two (i juz scare her nia).. Her work attitude so far for past 3 days ok..ask her to clean wat..she will do with no change in face / talk back.
Oh for timetable..i didnt ask her follow 1st..coz she 2 days into the job then i need to travel..so end of 2nd day..i sent her packing to my mum hse for more training on hsework..haha... but when i call my mum..she say she's ok except slow lo..but ok la..slowly do..
Ya her appetite really small (not sure if she's not familarise with us)..breakfast eat only 1 slice of bread..lunch/dinner small plate of rice..teabreak (3pm) also 1 slice of bread...let's monitor and see if her appetite will increase with time. Oh for her rice..she hardly touch any other dishes..i give her some veg/meat & soup..she eat more rice than those veg..only take whiny bit..mix and eat...to me macham eat plain rice... -
Oh yes, for the bra…i wanna buy few more coz need her to change…so that she got no excuse not to change. Coz when she 2nd day into the job, i need her to pack 3 days of clothings to my mum hse (as i need to travel)…so i ask her how she change when she bath 3 times and she got only 4 bras… she juz gave me the sheepish look…
so when i back in sg…will brg her to buy…my mum say brg her buy those bras (that we used to wear when in pri sch during start of puberty)…doubt she know how to wear our type of bras…
as for tees…yes gave her some tees and i bought her some shorts…so she got more clothes to change lo… -
Seems like mine wasn't the only ones with all that pride. Once we ate lobster noodles at a chinese restuarant and she (my no.4 Burmese maid) was given a share. She said that our Singapore lobster not sweet not like the ones she eats back home, \"so sweet and nice\"! She has eaten it many times! Then when she suddenly didn't want to work, she said she was going back to be a BOSS! :mad:
