      I think these burmese has loads of pride. Mine told me that she didn’t need to send money home because they don’t need money at home. Her parents told her to go and send her salary on whatever she likes. Then she said that she was going home to be a boss cos she is going to buy over a gas station business from a relative. I wonder how when she had spent most of her $$$.


      Complained that Singapore lobsters are not tasty like the ones she eats back home all the time. Hmm… I wonder why she’s working as a maid.

        My first myan maid left clumps of mense blood in the toilet bowl. I came home from work one day and walk into the kitchen, caught this foul smell. Went into the toilet, looked into the toilet bowl, all bloody water and clumps of blood. Asked her what is all this, is she sick or menses. She looked at me blank, would not answer.


        This is the same maid that refuse to shower the 1st and 2nd night when I brought her home. After 3 weeks, refuse to work, so I had to bring her back to the agency. She tried to make IDD calls. My house phone had a log so I know all the last 20 numbers dialed. Lied about her work, the house and everything is filthy. Everytime I returned home, she is in the kitchen. I’ll walk into her room and check her bed, it’s always messy and warm, so I know she’s been lying in bed this whole time till I ring the door bell.

        The 2nd myan maid, lying about her work, house is filthy. Prepare raw food and touching all other plates, plastic wrap etc without washing hands first, just transfering germs. No common sense.

        2 myan maids 3 weeks and 7 months, broke more than 30 items…more than any of my indo maids added together in the last 11 years.

        What pride? Shame or lack of shame is more like it. Couldn’t care less… I think. I do the chores, hands on to show/teach them, there is a file with photos and instructions. All these instructions/house rules are translated at the agency before i bring them home.

          Hi fifiyeo

          Did you ask her why she’s working as a maid here? looks like your maid is flaunting her wealth to you.

            Oh I think she tried to pretend that she was mistress of the house. I wear polo-ts so she also must buy t-shirts with colars to wear when working. Parading around to show off to the maid across our house. Every time buying new clothes. I sure agree she's weathier than me. I don't wear my clothes for just 3 months. She does.

              So happening!! This type of maid must be shown to MOM. This quality of maid is one of the lowest ranking. Fifiyeo, u shld tell her amongst the helpers, she is the type that cant work n she shld not even open any biz if she doesnt want to learn to get her hands dirty.

              We, employers have to tolerate crap from them. I often tell my maid that she won't survive in another household whether in Singapore or Malaysia. I already knew of 3 former maids of mine who don't last more than 8 months when they were transferred out to another employer. I m quite easy going as long as the house is clean and good behaviour from her. Yet the maids cannot even behave themselves.
              😓 they think they are head of household.

                😓 they think they are head of household.[/quote]As maid gives equal problem as well as to release the house work, so does maid solve our problem?

                I am empolyer of maid for over 12 years. I have about 10 maids. As short as 1 month and as long as 4 yrs.

                But generally, most maids will work well for me for 6 mths (training period and loan payment), thereafter I will have to tolerate all their nonsense for 3-6 mths, than I or maid will surrender. This apply all nationlity (Filipono, Indonesian, Myanmarese). The whole cycle go round and round that every year need to keep my leaves for this use.

                I really hope one day, I can say no more maid! I will held a party and share my maid free with all of you!

                    The habit of spending and saving, toward working and leisure.

                    It all comes from the mind of individual.

                    One’s Character & Personality mold the habits of individual, And Success depends on the Habits of each individual.

                    Take some time and read, maybe it will be able to help u in some times in the future.

                      Burmese maid with us for 4 months. Cleaning - good, English - average. Basically everything is acceptable except she loves to show angry face. With Hp, spent about 28-56 per month topping up. She said called back Myanmar v expensive.


                      Today, told me she wants to Go city hall meet her Aunty. Said Aunty going back to Myanmar. In my heart, I am so reluctant to say yes but hubby said ok. He suggests to send her to cityhall and we go shopping, meet her hours later to send her back. I don’t know if this is appropriate. I know she is also human, naturally will want to see her friends but to me, Hp is the last thing I can tolerate. See, I didn’t even bother who she calls as long as works done at home.

                      I am also worry this req may be ask again in near future. I also know if I say no, she will be very unhappy.

                      How?

                        Is your maid fresh or experienced? Fresh maids normally work without day off and so should not have handphone?


                        If she needs to meet her Aunty, is it possible for you to bring her there and sit with her during the meeting? I will not be "paiseh" with my maid so they normally do not ask funny things from me.
