            Y did you give her condensed milk? As for the jam, I ususally give 1 jar per month because my maid eats 2 slices of bread everyday.

                One of my ex-Burmese maids used to tell me that bread was expensive back home so she loves bread. She eats a bottle of jam every 2 weeks and a big loaf of bread every 3 days all by herself.


                Yes, they love to hide things in their room to eat. Found lots of ants crawling in her cupboard. There were food/sweet wrappers…and I actually made it super clear that there should be NO eating beyond the kitchen. Doesn’t get into their heads!

                  Big snoopy… they memorise the answers. … the agent here sends the questions over to the mymr agnt. The maid will study all the questions and answers but of course not all the questions will come out. eg study 500 questions and only 200 comes out.

                    Ah hah! no more paiseh, starting to get bold, if u hv pnut butter she will finish it all, notice all my past maids attack the pnut butter. We normally start them out by telling them what is not for them and to ask if they want to eat something, the maids know it but they prefer not to ask. I suggest u buy her her own jam and tell her not to touch the families. Of course tell her the jam is to last for ... no of weeks n not to finish in in one day. :evil:

                        My experience so far pretty positive. She’s not too finicky about food, and the amount she eats is quite fair (ie not locust like) - one bowl of rice, some veg/meat. She doesn’t snack and will decline our offers about half the time. One loaf of bread will last her about 2/3 of a week and the kaya/peanut butter doesn’t disappear fast.
