i guess it really boil down to employer, I don't think we will want to be treated this way at work, for eg; no internet connection during worktime now is like OMG Or your employer asks you to cut short hair or else you cannot work for them, etc.. For me I dun think the master / maid mentality will work in the long run. After a while, maid will still learn something especially if they got oppressed for long, later go \"xiao\" how?
So I still believe in treating them as how you will want to be treated if you are a maid. -
now i know why burmese maids are not worth to be pay as much as phinoys..
they are slow & not \"street smart\" at all. I will always give my previous Phinoy extra allowance here and there cause she will has the initiative to do things without telling and know how to act sweet to get favors She was getting $370.00 only and to me I always felt that she should be getting more but since I have already increased her salary twice, I do not want to increase anymore til she renew her contract. My current Burmese maid is getting $420.000 and to me she is already getting more than she deserved cause performance wise, nothing impressive, hence I do not think I will ever give her any extra anymore.. -
GreenBelt, yes i agree with you. that is why i did not stop my maid from wearing her favorite miniskirt when going out. I did not even ‘scold’ her so far. even she threw away a whole big pot of chicken soup (I cooked the night before and used the chicken thighs for cooking another dish, next day when i went home after work, whole pot gone and she told me she ate some chicken and threw away the rest). i really hate ppl wasting food, but i only told her next time if not sure pls check with me. but now my prob is i can see she is too free everyday, whole afternoon she got nothing to do but she won’t take any initiative to do anything extra. like clean a drawer, etc. every night sleep at 9pm, and leave all the clothes in toilet and wash next day morning. i did not change her habit cuz i know, even i force her to finish washing all at night, she will be too free the next day.
also i don’t like the way she talked to my girl, no respect and not polite at all. I don’t mean she is ‘lower class’ than us, just that i hate it might have a bad influence on my girl. i used to be too nice to her i guess. got once i brought my girl to library. and i saw my neighbour’s bermese maid playing with the kids at our playground. i even called home and tell her she can come down for half an hour to chat with the other maid. since they already talk to each other before. end up she gave my house no to the other maid, and they can talk freely since no one at home and my home phone both incoming and outgoing are free. i was nice to her cuz i was afraid she gets too bored as no one talk to her. however, i expect in return, she can be honest and show more respect to us. but seems she just takes it for granted.
i used to bring her outside every weekend for family day, go botanic garden, sentosa, merlion park, even brought her to take the cruise on singapore river, took nice photos for her, printed and let her sent back home. but recently, i am really getting a little bit sick of seeing her. i am the type anything i can do, i won’t ask others to do de, and end up became she is not offering any help when i do any house chores. i felt i am having another kid at home rather than a helper. -
Actually I don’t quite get it, how do you look after kids when you wear mini skirt??!!! You have to bend to help them for example in the toilet. You need to chase after them if they run away from you. It’s just not practical. She can always wear it on her off day. My ex-philip maid wears bikini for swimming on her off day. I think it’s ok as long as it’s done on her off day.
What I cannot tolerate is employers who asked their maid to walk dogs! If you like to keep pets then it’s yr responsibility to care for them. I don’t think walking dogs are part of maid’s job. -
oh, cuz my maid really don’t need to take care of my girl. she is 5 yo. and she did everything on her own. when the maid first came, she did try to help my girl buckle her shoes, but i stopped her, i told her she is here to help me with housework, not to serve my girl. school bag, my girl will carry it everyday herself. go toilet on her own in public toilet, we only wait outside. and even at age 5, she will always hold our hands when we walk, she will never run away on her own. so yes, basically my maid can wear her miniskirt comfortablly since most of the time i don’t really need her help to take care of the kid. my only concern is i felt no approporiate for her to wear it when we go wet market. but again, that is a her personal choice, i don’t want my boss came to comment about my office wear, that is why i also keep quiet even i don’t fully agree her choice.

whoa..then i think your burmese maid really \"不自动\"...so far luckily mine not like that but that day got a slight shock at her \"straightforwardness\" or \"not cleverness\".
last month, when she went for her day off, i gave her her $20 allowance one week earlier than her pay day (she is still paying her loan) and I told her because i worried she dun have money to spend that was why i gave her earlier since earlier by a wk only. then early this mth, she went for her day off again. Before she went out, she asked me \"Mam, $20\" I was like \"huh??!\" then told her not going to give her cause still have 2 and a half wk more before she is supposed to get her $20.00 and told her if i give you now, then Xmas (giving her off on Xmas) you have no money again!
really dunno how to ask in a nicer way :stupid: -
I sent off my first Myanmar maid n got a replacement maid from Myanmar. Cannot tahan her also. Forgetful, rude, lazy, cant clean the house but dirty the house instead, sleep anytime everywhere, eat a lot, use my handphone, break my things, compete for the tv, etc etc… I wanted to pack her off after two months but relented to give her a chance. And guess what? One day I came home and her things were all packed. She told me she wanted to quit immediately. How audacious of her but I was also very happy I wasn’t the one who initiated it. They are not worth the money we pay compared to the other nationalities. Cannot produce. Good riddance!
No more myanmar maids for me for the time being. -
I manage to get rid of my underage fluent liar burmese Mi Mi Khin at the end of december. Tho she was rather smart n a fast learner, she had a lot of tricks up her sleeve., shes only 17 or 18 but would leave my hse for 2 hours and drink beer with some malay guys and got mixed up with a taxi driver too… Her contract does not come with an off day but she suddenly demanded for one insisting that its her bithday and she is entitled to one. …started buying polyester skirts and sleeveless blouses, she used to tell me how much she hate wearing skirts and never wanted an off day. Anyway things changed as the months passed. She worked for me for near 9 months but I had no choice but to let her leave as she was getting out of hand and does what she like. Broke lots of things ,spoilt the cabinet and the cooker, spent about 3k to get everything replaced. Very rude and fierce, if it was not for her work I would not hv put up with her nonsense for so long anyway aside frm her fraudulent age her real height is 4 ft 8 n not 5 ft as in the biodata.
