Hi


I did not read the entire thread but I browsed thro few pages randomly.

I just want to get some suggestions from you all.

The problem I am facing with my FDW is if she does something wrong and it comes to my attention (of course, she wont tell me), she will straightaway say that she could not manage so she wants to go back to her home country (without me asking/saying anything). I just feel I should be the one getting angry if she does things wrongly. However, it happens in the otherway. She will show long face, wont answer if I ask something, etc etc for a while. She will be ok after a while.

How to respond to her?

I usually keep quiet as I dont want go thro the hassle of training another FDW according to our needs.

These few days, I really feel she is exploiting too much.

Thank you

hi happyH,


not sure where yours is from. if you have to send her to another airport, you always have option to buy a ticket that involves transfer. Works well with indo maids.

Mine starting going off mode once we confirm letting her go. I told her quietly that I can either buy her a direct ticket, or let her transit in JKT airport for 1 night. After that, her attitude was markedly better.

Sometimes maid thinks that we will die without them. Always remind them that you have other options if you don’t have a maid, even if it’s a lie.

very true. if forced to do so, I will and have done so in the past. If they feel all impt, be prepared to accede to their demands/live with their black face.

My ex-myanmar maid from he’ll has taught me well. I learnt each time from every maid that I have.
