      I’m so sick of scolding my maid. She just does not want to follow instructions, thinks she is very clever but the work not done according to instructions will show and I’ve caught her many times.


      When I confront her, she readily admits it that she has not follow my instructions, then just say sorry. She keeps on doing this every week. I then asked her to write down the events that she did not follow instructions and ruined things. After one month, she is still not following instructions, when asked, she will not deny, just says sorry and writes down her mistakes. Then she continues not to follow instructions almost everyday.

      Her sorry is not worth anything and she is not shy or embaressed about lying about changing.

        My maid also same too. Any mummies know if that is a regulation for maid to complain to MOM about employer cannot send them if they do not want to go back ?

        I tell my maid agent (also from phil) about I will buy a ticket and send my maid back to phil. My agent said i cannot do that, she tell me about the MOM rule, the maid can make appeal to MOM about employer. I wonder got such cases?

            Already given my maid warning. Share with you my maid story here. My maid like to chat with her friends from the same country. Me and my hb already told her to stop doing that. After certain days we found out that she still continue doing that,continue meeting her friends. We closed 1 eyes and we pretend do not know about it. Then worst case happen, she kena sexual harassment by the Bangladesh guy, she make the report to the police. I believe she know that guy , otherwise the guy won’t have the gut to do that to her. When we asked her if she know that guy but she say no. After the incident, we give her last warning, we told her no more friend chatting out side our house or void deck. I even reminded her every morning. Again, we found out she still doing that. She left my 2 kids at home, and she is outside chatting with her friend. According to my kids, 5 to 10mins chat, i wonder, is that an items exchange everyday?

            Beside this, there are other bad things about her. Sigh, I do not want to mention it here.

                mine was pretentious n v gd actress. i told her over interview her jobscope n no hp allowed as my previous had n cant concentrate on work, she said ok. asked me to check her n her luggage the moment she arrives hm, everything in order and she was so polite and act blur (clever i wld say). even asked me for pen/paper said wanna write hm.


                one v early morning while on the way to work n she sent bb to cc, cm called me the moment i sat into the cab to postpone appt so i headed hm. within 5 mins only so might as well wait for her to help me carry my stuff back hm. waited 20 mins still didnt c her so called my mum for her but mum said maid not back. called the cc and teacher said she left 10 mins ago and after hanging up the ph, saw her chatting wif great laughter n the moment she saw me her face changed.

                i qn her much later in the afternoon as to how she got the hp when she ownself let me checked thru and she oso agreed not bringing any over, she said she kept it wif her fren but she will only call indo when nec and apologised. i told her as i m satisfied wif her work so if she wanna use i will let her but am v angry wif her for lying. if i found her lying to me again, off she goes as previous maid who left lied to me. she pleaded wif me she will work hard n not use it. she betrayed my trust: she had used her salary to buy a new ph as she wanted to use fb. well so long as she didnt laze on her job, $$ is hers, she can do watever she wan wif it but really buey tahan her. b4 loan all was gd, loan cleared kept pestering me, yes, pestering me for her salary, giving all sorts of pity story as thou i will not pay her. i told her i will not owe her cos it is an offence to do so, so she dont have to worry abt dat. at times i will scold her not to irk me.

                recently my gal was chatting n messaging wif her classmate over the ph and the boy is only 12yo and my gal 17yo. both of them fr special sch so theirs is v pure n platonic r/s. maid had the audacity to tell my gal to ask the boy whether he loves her not and wan them to b bf/gf as last x she oso very young had bf, n currently she is looking for older man to take care of her. wtf!!

                i told the agent abt it whom in turn talked to her but she denied it. now having financial difficulties so to change a new one i cant afford yet to come out wif few k for new maid’s loan, no choice gotta wait till my $$ comes in den send her off.

                haiz…there’s no gd or bad maid, only our gd or bad luck to meet a satisfying one

                  Our previous maid did the same thing.

                  Suspected that she did it deliberately, so that we would return her to the agent, and she could get a transfer to work for expat.

                  Not very much we could have done.
                  .

                    I think that the contract you signed with the (Singapore) agent will state that you have to return her to the agent (so that she could find another employer in Singapore) if you are not happy with her.

                    .

                      As far as I know, you have to return the maid to the agent if you want a free replacement from them.

                      But otherwise, you can just pack them off home.
                      I know of people who have sent theirs off.
                      Don't know if there has been any recent changes tho.

                        Yea. Its sad for me when my maid who is really good and loyal to our family leaves and not coming back anymore. Then fear will start to set in when i employ new ones.
