      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.

                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.

                :yikes: She goes bra-less in the house? That's not acceptable.

                    Happy to be mum, I think there’s nothing you can do about the tattoo. But you may want to check with your maid where she got the tattoo done. If the tattooist is not hygienic, she can pick up a lot of diseases from a dirty needle.


                    And if she has a girlfriend, then you may really want to consider taking her for a health check up for VD, hep b and c etc.

                        Yup, I noticed that my il's maids all like to wear black bras under white t shirts after they started having an off day. Only my ex maid dared to wear a black bra under a yellow t shirt only after working less than a month!
