Aiyo. I think it is the burmese genes. Mine also like that. Ask whether understand and nod her head but do the wrong thing. I have no problems with giving instructions to my ex philipinoes maids.Yes lo.. My 1st maid lo.. Tdy my hb even commented i am her maid coz i have to help her w chores due tO her slowness.. Haiz.. And tdy she worst lo.. Kena scolding twice.. Tell her to clean top part of windows.. She nod her head & clean bottom part.. Wah lau.. I see already tell her 2nd time, even ask if she understand.. Again nod her head & clean wrongly.. 3rd time i angry & scold her!! But gd tat i scold.. She suddenly wise up & auto clean other rms without me telling.. Really 欠骂！
Next sat i wun b so nice to her le.. -
Me too I agree with fifiyeo, she gave u the right advise. My mum is rather impatient and used to wash up plates in t sink before my past maids get to it. Eventually alll of them will leave the plates there cos they know my mum cant stand the plates there and will do it for them to the point that they leave it for her to wash now. Now my mum hs finally taken my advice and not do it for them,just call them back to wash it before it piles up.
Since yr maid is new , if u hv to help her make sure u tell her your doing her chores to help n train her but you want to see her doing what u show her fast by end of the week and ur not going to do it for her again… ai yah tell her maybe she is too young. -
yan yan … dont loose touch of yr self and family bcos of one maid. Im Sure she will drink when shes thirsty, if shes gonna fall ill, no amount of water will wsh away bacteria and virus in her…better to wash her hands more instead.
Errr. if u give her too much attention, she will soon be calling u mummy. -

My last two burmese the same, nod head and u think they know but they dont. I can show mine 2 times and she will still commit mistake until I raise my voice , suddenly she knows what to do. I dont like to raise my voice but somehow when we display anger they tend to wise up, I guess their minds are shut down when we speak english and they become alert when we scold them cos thats when they know we are serious and start to make an effort to concentrate.

Thanks so much for your advices… Will not help the maid next sat… Will also tell my mum tat… But how do u tell maid to wash dishes when she’s still slowly doing other chores? I cant stand dishes pile up… & she def cant multitask…
Oh sometimes to avoid me raising my voice, i write dw instructions… -
You have to learn to close one eye and leave everything to them. I also write intructions for my maid but even if they dont understand what they read, they wont tell you. Sometimes raise voice is more effective.

Haha… Okok… Think i have to close 2 eyes & concentrate on playing w my gal instead… Haha

Yanyan, I guess you feel bad for your new maid 'cos she’s your 1st maid. After awhile and all their nonsense, you’ll be hardhearted like me.
Doesn’t matter where they come from, if you’re too nice, they just climb onto your head. Then they become the boss and you are the slave.
Just close your eyes, if she can’t finish her work then she’ll just have to learn it the hard way. Lesser sleep. You will be amaze how quickly they can pick up when they chose to do so. Don’t need to baby sit her about drinking water and eating her meals…etc. If she can’t take care of herself, seriously you’re better off without her. We get maids because we want more time to catch up with our lives, not to burden ourselves. -

I think yr maid hs been a week by now, I think you hv told n showed her enuff, well considering the fact that shes burmese n fresh u can make exception and stop helping by this week. We cant lump everything into that small brainin 2 weeks so I suggest u strt testing her out with little help frm u. Let her work independently and just check her when shes wrong. If u dnt like the dishes piling up, tell her to wash up after breakfast instead of leaving the dishes tilll after lunch to wash. Inotice a lot of maids like to throw the dishes in the basin till they are free then wash it.
When I walk pass the kitchen and I c 2 plates with butter knife there, Ill tell her to wash it immediately even tho she may be hanging clothes at that time… this way she will learn to wash up after we have taken breakfast. Dont expect her to do the same the next day cos the maid will still leave till later. Just interrupt herif shes doing something else and get her to do it before more pile up. Tell her u dnt like to see the plates there n to wash up immediately when she see dirty plates. You got to let her know what u want and Hopefully she will follow…
Im loosing patience with mine too, as u go along with them u will find that the fresh burmese are really blur !
Its a pity u started with a burmese, U would hv noticed a great dfference if u had started with the other 2 nationalities. Well give her a month and c how it goes.
Ai yah ,we pay so much and our homes are their training ground, think they shld pay us tution fee.
