My idiotic hubby told me to be nice to maids...or else get charged in court...asked him if he is nuts to think his wife bashes maids :spank: . As a SAHM, my focus is on kids...I set a timetable for every maid who comes along...wake up at 6am for 2 weeks, teach and explain what they have to do and that's it...auto pilot. Then from time to time spot check. With maids, I close 1 eye bcos they cost a lot to maintain...why should I get upset and then have to send them off...who suffers, not him but ME.


I don't have a good feel for Filipino maids. Most of them think they are more upmarket and choose expat/angmoh families. When I had indon maids, I enjoyed Indonesian dishes at home...down side is they don't eat pork and that can be inconvenient.

Same here, mine asked isit I'm too fierce to her :?

Told him if we are not strict to her then she is going to take things for granted! Better set things straight from day one to play safe & let her know who is the boss.

my DH forbidden me to lecture maid in the kitchen.He scares later the maid can't stand me n conveniently take out the knife n chop me! :nunchuk: :torchme:

I took the kiasu, kiasi approach to send her back to agent. Told her to change & whole family went out. I'm scared she might go berserk if we tell her dat we are sending her back. :siao:

No point putting 2 young kids at risk. I'm reprimanded by hub & mum dat I am too paranoid but still I'm not going to take the risk

My ex maid has this habit of \"tasting\" the food,then put back the spoon n stir the food,b4 serving...Imagine the whole family eat her saliva :stompfeet: I caught her doing few times,lectured her in the kitchen.DH dragged me out.He said \"women fighting is worse than men\"...And we threw away the whole of curry she \"tasted\".

my idiotic hubby afraid i abuse the maid…good lah, in the end he was the one who got fed up to see the maid taking advantage…and taking things for granted. when that happened, i told him the maid has to go or else i will jump down or slaughter her.

there was once he got a shock one sunday afternoon when he walked into the kitchen and the maid was sprawled on the floor sleeping.

one occasion when i sent the maid back, i got him to work from home…paid for the transport service of picking and sending her off.

Finally the princess maid is transferred out on the 21th day! Hope the next will be better... :xedfingers:

Can I ask if there is such a thing as overseas experience fee of $100, charged bcos the maid have experience working in another country?

[Coolkidsrock2]

Never encountered overseas experience fees but for the agent of my ex-Indon maid, she was paid the same salary as an experienced maid, regardless of country. Her experience was in Saudi Arabia where she had to perform housework, cooking and help out in her employer’s food catering business.


I understand that it is common for maids with experience in Malaysia and Middle East to multi-task between household chores and employer’s place of business.

I was puzzled at the fee too as have not heard abt it. If its not a norm in the industry then tis agency is really testing my patience.... :mad:
