      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.

              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.

                    We are lucky enough to have a spare room for the maid - it’s very small but it’s her own. I would only have her sleep with the children if there really was no other option. It just doesn’t feel right to have someone else sleeping with my children. They are my responsibility at night.

                      My domestic helper has her own room as I feel that she needs the personal space & time after a day work looking after my 3 kids + the housework.


                      My BB boy sleeps with us in e Master Bedroom while my 2 older girls take e other bedroom + studyroom 😄

                      I am comfortable with e present arrangement and will do e re-adjustment later 😄

                        I would prefer my maid to sleep by herself. I agree with nms1 too, the maid will need some personal time for herself too, after a day of work.
