      My maid's slipper is worn out. She doesnt want to wear the cheapo ones that I buy for her and asked to buy and pay herself, which is really fine with me.

      She asked to go to BATA and bought a pair of slippers for $34. Must be feeling super rich. She just repaid her loan 2 months ago.
      $34 for slippers!

        One of my neighbours was very liberal too. Allowed the maid to have gatherings at her home, so she invites all the neighbouring maids over to her house for a party. Also gets a lot of days off etc...

        No wonder So Many of us lamenting ....

            We switched our 1st maid of 3 months to a 2nd maid when DD was 2+ YO. I guessed it was partially bcos we didnt prepare her in advance, coipled with Terrible Two, DD hated my 2nd maid to the core. The 2nd maid cannot get near DD (when we are around) without DD throwing a mega tantrum. So much so that the 2nd maid asked us to send her back to the agency after one month with us.

            goodness! you must have a hard time pacifying your DD then...so how's the situation now? has your DD finally accepted your 2nd maid...if so, must share how you managed to impore the situation?

            ZuEn, also keen to know. My DD1 still don't take to my current maid very well. I wonder why. kids usually takes well to adults who adore them.

              you are absolutely right! so i tell my maid in the face that i don't like her socializing with my neighbour's maid after both of them continue to chat even when they saw me.

                  Nope, DD never accepted the 2nd maid and we were more than glad when she asked to be sent back to the agency after 1 month.

                  Admummy, Littlefly,
                  DD used to spend a few hours alone with my 1st and 2nd maid. So when I had the 2nd maid, I was so worried that she cannot handle DD when they are alone and I was constantly hawking over them through the internet camera. My heart stops whenever I lost connectivity. :nailbite:
                  When I had the 3rd maid, I made sure that she was never alone with DD. I brought them to my bro's place early in the morning and brought them home after work and my mum helped to supervise my maid. But my maid's main duties then were to take care and play with DD.
                  Apparently that helps and DD accepted the 3rd maid very quickly. Still, we dont leave the kids alone with the maid now unless neccessary and never for long time.

                    Definitely spoil market. I was so relieved when they moved out.
