      So the maid only looks after the employer's child in grandparents' place...attend to employer's kid only...like HDB fire insurance...only insure contents in address stated and nothing/no one else, pets included.

      HDB insurance where got insure contents? Thought it's for structure only? Contents usually a separate optional insurance.

        parents normally send maid + child to grandma house.

        if after dinner can't ask maid to wash up bowls, cups, plates, then who wash ?

        if MOM say maid can't wash bowls, cups after meal at another house other than employer's house -
        then if maid eat dinner at grandma house (cooked by ah ma), who is going to wash the maid's bowl ? grandma herself ?
        wah ! then isn't the maid being treated like a queen ?
        like I said, these are just laws.
        Do you think you maid will really complain if you have been treating your maid reasonably well?

            IF the laws are such, even when the maid doesn't complain we are STILL against the law and MOM still has a case IF we are \"caught\" :shock:

              POA Teacher:
              I remember reading in newspaper some time ago, MOM said it is ok to send maid and child to grandma's place. But maid is there to only look after the employer's kid(s). Not to do housework.

              I think he also said it's ok to send maid to look after employer's parent. Again, not including housework for the other household.
              So, when family have dinner at mil or mom's house, must divide up the dishes/bowls/cutlery etc into those used by employer, employer's spouse, employer's children and maid. Can only wash those used by these, but not used by parents or parents in law? Then the wok used to cook the food for everybody is considered what? :scratchhead:

              Wait a minute, are parents and parents-in-law considered family?

                      Some have been known to complain about things like this after they are caught stealing as a counter to the employer's police report for theft. So, unfortunately, the answer is \"yes\". If only life was so simple...

                        but she gain something out of stealing.....what do they gain from complaining?

                        Perhaps I didn't phrase it properly. What I meant is that if she's happy working for you, then it's quite unlikely she will complain. As for greed....different matter. If she can steal from you without you noticing, then I guess she's more than happy working for you!!

                        šŸ˜‰

                        anyway, if not comfortable, then do what you deem is right.
