Myanmar maids
-
Lamber… I hv experienced the ridiculous things that not only mynars do but the two other nationalities too. Unfortunately I cant afford to be maidless as my mum do need some caring.
I was maidless for 2 months and it is indeed true, I found my long lost freedom within the house and my dd was somewhat closer to me, tho busy with the household chores, I notice that my dd approached me more and much of my attention was given to her. Perhaps the maid was a blockage and I had to spend time checking on her work and councelling her too. The only person that missed having a maid was my mum. -
wow... reading the last 2 pages, i must admit i'm really impatient and have high expectations. I was thinking of burmese maids, but still stay within my comfort zone of trying a Fil. The recent one i got lasted 7 weeks. She is the most experience i hired (ex Sin, 6 yr) but longest to train (7 wks) still cant make it.
Everything also have to teach, not that i'm particular, basic house hold chores no need to teach for an experience maid, that's why i hire exp right? A few days into her job, I open the plates cupboard with a shock, big plate on top of small plate on top of big plate, saucer on the right and left..... so untidy.
Milk expired 10 days still pouring for dds to drink, thank God, they have strong stomach. After telling her off abt this, 2 wks later, i found the milk exp 3 days. When i question her if she knows the milk already expired, her reply \"I know, since Sat\" (thinking she's so smart that she knows when the milk expired!!) :stupid:
Come back from supermarket, around 9pm, she already in bed. I sleep later than her and wakes up same time as her 5.30am. I told her i cant tell her everything, if she sees me doing something, watch it and i expect her to do it the next time. when she see me doing, she walks away happily to do other chores (as if i'm her assistant). :siao: Told her she cooked the omelette wrongly, she left me to fry my own!! Omelette also have ang mo style and Chinese style mah.... everything one style!! If i have to teach her one thing at a time, by the end of 2 years, she still cannot learn everything.
Claiming to be a very good cook, food can burnt in a slow cooker!! My house is dirtiest ever! \"Lost\" my polo shirt.
With me for 7 weeks, i sick 3 weeks. Every day come back from work, still have to teach her and do part of her job. Then she goes to bed 8 or 9pm. After she goes to bed, i shower, do my own stuff till 11pm or mid night!
Still has the cheek to ask for $550, all Sundays and all PH off! -
Lyn2010, did your maid complain about her salary? I heard 30 Philip maids gang up to report to the embassy that their employers did not pay the US 600 required by their embassy contract. Some are barred from hiring Philip maids until they pay accordingly. These days maid are so different from the past!

I can completely emphasise with households that need domestic help like your case. It's really a blessing that those households have maids who are responsible and good. -

Just like we have Gen \"Y\" in the working force now ( and they are so daring and different from our time )... we are facing Gen \"Y' maids too! -
Hi Lynn2010
Your ex sin 6 years maid is phil? Who has she been working for 6 years? I think we should have a regulation that we are entitled to a reference and phone number to talk to their previous employer.
How can she serve expired milk? Knowing it’s expired and still choose to serve it, attempted poisoning!!! Still so proud can answer she knows expired… -
Lyn2010....... yr maid may hv a mental block,
or she must be very old or left spore yrs back and return again...err, perhaps she does not like looking after kids.
