All About Full-Time Maids

[autumnbronze]

This is an open forum. A place for sharing views, even if they happen to be alternative. Have I been mistaken??


I do believe I am allowed to share my views respectfully. I did mention this came from the horses’ mouth. Their maid was Filipino. I should have included the second statement earlier. My apologies.

This is exactly the reason why I have AVOIDED posting in here in the past.

Also, please read the last statement in my previous post again.

There is nothing wrong with your comment. It’s just that I feel we should hear both sides of the story.


Anyway, now I wonder if my maid will go around telling people I don’t give her meat to eat and purposely left out the part that she will not eat non HALah food.
Even my sugar is HALah. She will also say some prayer during cooking. All my Muslim friends feel very safe eating at my Hse.
I think Philip maid is easier but I do know of some who eat BBQ pork !!!

Ummmmmm, I did mention that the comment came from the employer’s son.

I don’t really have an idea what my maid eats.

I don’t specially supply food like peanut butter, kaya, coffee etc. to her but my hubby recently told me he is buying a separate brand of green tea for my maid because she will drink it quite frequently and the brand which we like is more expensive hence the "segregation".
But she is free to help herself to any food & drinks we stock up in the fridge, snacks in the cupboard, bread and whatever cooked food we buy.

We all too consciously do not eat pork liow. We also got to follow halal esp. chicken! Oh yes, we do consciously stock up chicken hotdog for her when we are buying pork bockwurst whenever we want to eat sausage dinner!

Nowadays she will cook her own type of food for lunch whenever she feels like it. Like fried ikan billis with chilli which she will store for herself and we don’t eat. It is ok with us I really don’t bother…

[quote=\"moonee\"]Just wanted to know, do u supply yr maid peanut butter, butter or jam for bread in the morning all the way till her contract ends? or do allow yr maid to share yr jam or peanut butter, milo etc.?

Why need to separate? :? My maid eats what we eat. We do not treat her like a pariah. She is part of the family.

Pariah? Of course we should not treat them like pariahs! Do u always relate maids to pariahs? They are humans like us![/quote]Please read my post carefully. It is in simple English.

Wuhahahahaha...

This reminds me of an incident.

I had an unexpected guest who dropped by. He loves spicy food and found my sweet and sour chicken meatballs that i made that day too bland, and asked for something to give it a kick. My helper offered to give her sambal. He couldn't stop raving about it. In the end, she packed some in a Tupperware and gave it to him, after checking with me first lah ...

I have yet to try it though .... she never offered it to me leh

Hi autumnbronze,


I could not help but noticed the food items you listed:
(a) Brown sugar (very expensive meh?)
(b) Lurpak Butter (what on earth is that? Mine Cold Storage butter leh?) :?
(c) Home-made Bread (mmm...yummy, yummy!)
(d) Nespresso... (sounds really luxurious!)

Almost expect you to list bird-nest for dessert next!

[sorry I mountain-turtle, all shopping done by hubby la!]

Hi DesertWind!

Teeeeheeeee, here is my reply ....

(a) Billingtons ( brand) Demerara sugar
(b) Lurpak is a brand of butter. I get it for my son. DH and I hardly eat butter
(c) I have a bread machine
(d) Coffee machine.

Dessert is always fruit. Sometimes indulge in Walls or Hagaan Daaz lah

Birds nest??? Errrr no, took it during pregnancy and PD said that it's possibly one of the causes of DS' mild eczema :shock:

You lucky leh!!! Grocery done by DH. Mine is averse to it. Doesn't even want to go near a supermarket.

So for me, Monday, which is NTUC day, will be an opportunity for me to
have some ME time to myself

But on the other hand, how pathetic is that
