All About Full-Time Maids

[happy to be mum]

hi there


anyone out here has a maid with tatoo? my maid has been with me for almost 2 years & so far so good, no major complains. She is willing to change if I tell her things that I am not pleased with her. She is independent & me & DH can rely on her to take care of our kids when we need to go out. DH & I have to rely on maid as both sides of our family can’t help.

DH was the one who saw her tatoo on her leg, near the ankle. Both me & DH cannot believe she can be so stupid to do so! We are not angry but disappointed & cannot believe her stupidity. Even more stupid to put a tatoo of someone’s name, I love XXX". Can you accept your maid with a tatoo? I think I can but still dun understand her rationale to do so

hi happy to be mum,


It’s her body and she did it of her own willingness. Nothing you can do about it. I agree it’s stupid to have done that - change bf how? is she even aware that removal is far worse than having it on?

If you want to be nice, just quietly tell her that pp may go through several loves of their lives. if she/he should change their minds, then what’s she going to do about the tattoo? find someone else with the same name??

hi hquek


ya, that was what I told myself, it is her body. I actually told her that also about changing of partners (think might be a gf instead of bf Sometimes to think abt it they are quite lonely. My maid don't really looks \"maid\", she used to work in Robinson in Manila as a salesgirl and is still young 25.

I guess I just have to tell myself what she does outside during her days off, I don't need to know as long she still does her job well at home.

hi happy to be mum,


wow, gf!! Children’s name is about the only thing I can accept.

still it’s a bit disconcerting becos she’s living under the same roof and all.

Actually nothing will surprise me for Philip maid. They are very liberal in cultural because they were once under Spanish rule. They are not conservative like Muslims or Chinese. To them dumping husband and boyfriends no big deal.

Btw my ex-philp maid went braless in my Hse and also drank beer. This is after she has work with me close to 2 years.

peapot, did you ask her to put on her bra after she went braless? Drank beer? She bought her own or drank those bought by you? Very daring maid!

I didn’t even notice she was braless until my husband told me. The beer was bot by her. My husband discovered it too. She was sent back since her contract was also up. In the beginning, she was also very "kuai" but after many off days she became like that. So, off days does influence maids. Its only a matter what is the degree of influence. That’s why I say Philip maid do not surprise me with their actions. I have personal encounter.

hmm off days, my maid has off on every Sunday. Initially i was no comfy with giving her off every Sundays but DH always asked me to think from their shoes, how will I like it if i work everyday without any off?


i just hope and pray she will appreciate, & if she starts being "funny" will tell her off and if she dun listen, just have to ask her pack & go.

think positively when she goes for her days off, you will spend time alone with your DH and kids only.
