Myanmar maids

[hquek]

Thing with Burmese is that I hear their pride is very strong. So with mine, I tread very carefully and politely.

Well yanyan, think ur gonna experience more of these things in time to come. Mine is almost similar to yrs… gonna be 3 months soon, should be better but not quite. I think the age does play an important part.


Think u should get yr dh to choose the maid next time.

Moonee, he play a part in choosing this maid… Will see hw ba… But sometimes my hb can b real childish… Haiz

Just got a Burmese maid ten days ago. It is a transfer case. Sheis very lazy. Today I found her sleeping in kitchen with all the doors and lights on. Should I talk to her or just send her back to agent and dont waste my brain talking to her. I took her because I pitied her but her work is dirty and she is lazy. Confused.

Hi r2010

I'm afraid there is a limit to how far pity can go when it comes to hiring a maid. She's suppose to help you not for you to take pity on. If she is teachable than there is a future to remain in your abode. Otherwise, I would just send her back.

thanks 1 amber


I just check her contract and it force me to keep her for 1 month minimum. I have no choice , but I am very frustrated. Cant sleep because i am thinking of how to talk to her about her laziness. I have not said a single thing to her. I even allow her to bring her HP ( she first lied to me no phone but after that she says she has one as she is a transfer case) so I actually dont mind her having as long as her work is ok. I am stressed because my son is sitting for PSLE this year. so iam just wondering should I keep her until 7 Oct that is the last day of PSLe or just change her now. I actually do not want any more burmese maid, I will go back to Indonesian. I know Indonesian have their own problems but at least they are not as lazy as this burmese maid. She even told my MIL maid that why do my MIL work so hard…

r2010… yr contract of one month is more a formality, actually its negotiable. Most agents state 1 mth cos in the case of fresh maids it takes abt 3 wks for W/p to b out n agent cant transfer, thats what one agent told me. There r some agents that want u to keep a month so that they can make at least a months loan back n some will say a month for both parties to get to know each other.

I think ur maid is sorry to say, hopeless. Better start looking for a change. Her mind is not focused to work. U can still talk to her to work hard but even if she change it will be for a while.
Go tell yr agent off for sending u one that has a attitude problem and how come they dont know she has a hp.
By the time u get a replacement it will be close to a month, the agent will probably tell u the next maid ur taking will be in later, so better start selecting. No point the agent talk to the burmese, this type wont change.
