      Ya lor....


      Men always feel that they could \"outsource\" everything to u :boogie: , since u've maid.

      But this is not always the case.When maid starts to create prob,she'll become \"burden\" more than a \"helper\".

      It is always not easy to manage a maid.Treat her nice,she'll cross over ur border.can't punish her coz u might not know what she'll do to ur kids or food.

        These men get to be good guys at home...of course maids like them. Sir is always good, not like 'mam'. With a maid, I cannot complain bcos 'I have maid to do work'. Now no maid, I can complain and grumble.

        When maid becomes a burden or problem, he will push blame to me. Handling a maid is not easy.

            he gets to be angel at home after work...we have to put up with the maid's attitude the whole day...exactly like his mother...in front of him, act angel...horns appear when he is out. at most i suffer doing housework, but i sent maid off when she did a double-headed act.

              That is the thing.I also do not like my DH to be angel,either wf maid or kids,make my job difficult.

              my ex Phil maid liked to talk to my DH directly.She did it on purpose coz she knew i would reject her.

              I issued a final warning to DH:if u wanna manage,i'll leave everything to u,don't \"counter-manage\"if i'm in charge,or else u create double std.Since that day,he leaves everything to me.If maid/kids go to him,he'll ask them to come to me.

                I also issued that warning several times...if he wants to be in control, he controls EVERYTHING...if not, don't act smart.
                In terms of this, kids will not approach him. But if there was any maid who bypassed me, she would be sent off. Don't try to 'hiao' with sir. I am not blind.

                    Try bypassing me and approach 'sir' and off she goes.
                    Luckily, my maids were stressed with him at home....bcos he will be walking around house...scaring the hell out of them if they were ironing or cleaning something...good in a way, can't day dream.
