As the Father narrate and \"reenact\" the incident, can tell that the poor girl is mentally scarred... \"Luckily\", it's just hands and not somewhere else like the face.

Sighs what a lousy and vile maid....no surprise where she's from as well....the maids from that particular place I've not heard many good things about them.....stubborn, not trained...come here as princess for holiday.....very self entitled...not here to work hard for $$....I think more regulations should be in place for them ( from Myanmmar)- Often times i think they just push these young girls here and these 'young girls' dont know what is expected of them in a 'helpers' role....

I was never lucky to having a reliable maid. Tried Myanmar, Indonesian, and Filipino made and I only have negative experiences. Because of this bad experience, I decided to work at home, accept freelance jobs and take care of my family alone.

Same here! I gave up on maids.
We had maids who stole from us and even my children’s piggy banks, maid who dressed inappropriately (cleavage revealing tops and shorts that were so short I could see her butt when I walked behind her)!

My last maid was so rude! First 2 months she was ok. By 3rd month, true colour was out. She threw the mop on the floor when I told her she missed a part of the room during mopping. If she did anything wrong, and I pointed out, she would bang door!

We let her wake up at 7am while we woke up at 6am to make kids breakfast and sent to school because we were used to doing morning routine anyway. So we thought no need for her to wake at 6am.

Supposed to end her day at 9pm but by end of month 2, she rushed through her chores and showered by 8pm and went to her room while my family was eating dinner! I must knock on door many times before she came out to wash dishes with a black face. Crappy attitude.

If you tolerate her attitude it will only get worse- trust me...
Is she from Myanmmar too?
Anyway you have to tell her you do not pay her to see her face and attitude daily .....

@ arsenalgirl I recall a conversation with my frd’s pino helper here with 12 years service bagged. She explained in her country, their ppl take porridge only when sick & no energy to stomach anything heavy. So, maybe that’s where she’s coming fr?

S’times we’ve gotta look beyond their inability to communicate or express themselves well, but in short sentences. I’m sure if she speaks in Bahasa Indonesiaand her intonation it’ll be very expressive to communicate her truest of meanings.

OT, just the other day, I was sharing with DH how our first Indo girl came during her Hari Raya & we were so appreciative coz many wld this come during tt impt part of their festive culture & we brot her out & ask her to chose her lotong or satay. She kept looking at the signboard & then shone her head. We asked her why & she quietly said for 40 cents each stick (price abt 20 years back) she cld buy 10 sticks back home. We then just bought for her & sat her down. S’times, when my family hv fruits I wld remind my kids culture does make a lot of diff btwn hunger & those who hv & take for granted. In SG, we’ve so much choices of foreign imported fruits to add to our plates, but for these helpers, most SG families do not incl fruits in a helpers diet. I’m sure when they’re back home, they happily enjoy bananas or papayas fr their bkyard w/o worries of costs, but they don’t get to eat them in our SG homes. DH always chided me for siding helpers, but when they shows disrespect or hide in toilets lengthy periods too often, they get an earful fr me. I do spot check their quality of work & explain the reasons why I need sth to be hygienic or clean, but will be in hardtone once I’ve to remind them umpteen times. An eyer has to exercise firmness w/o being inhumane & not give understanding to their original perspectives. JMO

From my post, you can tell she's not from Philippines...she's from Myanmmar and is just plain rude - her English as I've mentioned is really good....so there's no reason for her to answer in that way- Eeeee i Don't want....in general she's just a rude person- How do you explain the fact that she's so tactless to say that my husband's choice of clothes for my son is Eeeee also??? but all these can close an eye her work also cannot make it...cooking cannot make it....attitude also...

She has a light workload and yet abuses your generosity. Good thing you figure this out earlier. I could not imagine if you let her same for more days or months.

Yeahh and to think she was shocked on the day we decided to let her go....come on lah u wake up late daily and can see we are visibly upset....we try to counsel you nicely...talk to you....scold you and explain to you why you have to get on time...yet all you can say is ' i will try harder' and then get up late again....u try for 2-3 days and nxt few days again you cant get up....so selfish...and i'm also pregnant now with #2....she doesnt care about my health ( obviously ) that this is shooting my blood pressure up just seeing her face daily when she gets up late.....and did i mention when she gets up late she acts as if it's such a huge effort on her part getting up....and she is so tired she has to sprawl on the table....or go back to her room to lie down??!? This is such huge disrepect to your employer who's paying you monthly....worse is she does not even show any form of remorse when we sent her back...still kept starring fiercely at us...

Hi Guys...just sharing with you guys about a full time maid that i hired who is my worst maid ever...she is highly likely looking to return back to Singapore soon so would like to share it here so that no other employer is 'unlucky ' enough to employ her.

Name: Kap Tluangi ( Myanmmar)

WP No: 0 93760115

Sent her back today and she was shouting and demanding why we didnt tell her earlier and demanded to be bought a luggage ...best is when packing her stuff it exceeded check in baggage limits by 10 kg...( about 30 over kg worth of clothes and stuff)- she even suggested to place her belongings at my security guard post so that her friends can pick it up- how bold and 'creative' right...( even storage facilities also have a fee lah...wah lau).

During her 9 month employment....her main tasks is to clean the house and preparing breakfast and dinners ...for a small family of 3- hubby , me and boy who goes to full day child care). Yet during her employment she

-Always always cannot get up on time....1 week she will oversleep at least 3-4 times...meaning either me or my hubby have to wake her up making us so tired....as we go to sleep later than her ( Her bedtime is usually 830-9pm as we take over our son and put him to sleep every night)...morning on wkdays she needs to get up at 6am to help us prep as my hubs needs to leave with my boy for childcare by 7am...in order to reach work on time...so because of her tardiness they are either often late for sch/ work or i need to be so stressed out and wake up subconsciously by 6am to check that she's up...:(

She also has a very non teachable attitude and is very defensive whenever you correct her mistakes....she will argue and argue back whatever point you raise...An example...when you tell her that you've trained her to dry the front load washer and not overload the washing machine to prevent moisture/ it from spoiling etc...she will reply : Oh is it? Or when she serves you burnt food....you ask her why it's burnt she replies oh the video you showed me says 1 hr ( but i told her to tweak the timing as the size of the potato is different - she doesn't watch food as well when she cooks leading the food to be overcooked or water to boil over )- Her bio data rates her cooking as 5/5 ya hahahaha....big joke ya

Is a huge busybody....loves to interupt whenever hubs and I are talking and inserts her opinions in whenever it's not sought for....like when we buy clothes for my boy she'll go eeewl that's so ugly etc....basically no respect...

Lastly, due to her inability to get up in the mornings we imposed a time limit to her handphone hours ( so at night from 9-1030pm-Disclaimer: I hope people don't judge....as people from Home or whatever organisations might say its so inhumane etc to keep someone's phone)...blah blah BUT in any case whilst packing today i found out that she has a 2nd secret phone which is probably why she always oversleeps as she's always using her hp late into the night....and also explains y she's always taking so long in the toilet as well....( when i asked her today she again had another explanation : that she was helping her 'friend keep the phone')...

Another thing i also found out today was that she throws her undergarment - panties and bra together with my son's laundry- when she came i provided her with a scrub and pail and told her explicitly not to wash her undergarments in the washing machine ( we allow her to wash the rest of her clothes in the washing machine)- even I handwash my own undergarments....ARGH im feeling so disgusted i feel like getting a new washing machine

So yup writing this post to warn potential future employers as she is looking to return to work here ( she has a wide network of friends here )..She's an ex SG mynammar maid so her spoken English is pretty good for Myanmmar so she might kind of easily do well in 'interviews' with potential employers...( thats one of the reasons i took her too since it was diff finding myanmmar helpers with gd English - as Im a FTWM and don't have time to train a fresh one)

Omg, did u gave her WiFi password?
Ur hse gt cctv?
Y u allow her to wash her clothes in the washing machine? Shouldn't maid hand wash their clothes separately?

Sorry but I'm a FTWM as well. Trying to find how others managed their maid.

i have a google wifi mesh system so i limit her 'wifi' usage only from 830-1030pm ...and yes my home has CCTV but it's impossible to cover all the rooms ( her room and our master bed room / toilets etc i cant have cctv...) so she will usually go into those rooms to 'hide' loh....and cctv has blind spots so cant really always spot them also....
Yah that is my fault....i shouldn't have allowed her to use the washing machine to wash her clothes....i thought chin chai since our laundry load is little.....so can just add hers in as well but turns out she abused our 'kindness' and started disrespecting us and treating us as if we are tenants instead of her employers....
She is also quite bold and rude with her comments I rem once we went out shopping she was supposed to look after my boy and my hubby and I were picking out his clothes....then when my hubby picked one out she went ' EEEE so ugly'...i was like woah she's so Audacious...
Once at a restaurant also i asked if she wanted to share some of my porridge she said 'eeeeee' dont want....
WTF rte....

Please do not get myanmmar maids…even ex SG ones that can speak English…my current maid…has a sleeping problem…she can sleep and sleep until she can’t hear anything- phone calls/ door bells etc/ alarm all also cannot hear.

Thus, she always cant get up on time in the morning to prep our breakfast and get my boy ready for school…
I dont see any reason why she’s so tired cos her only chores are to
-Clean the house
-Prep Breakfast and dinner
-Shower and change my toddler ( 3 yrs old who goes to full time childcare and my hubby and I fetch and pick ourselves cos dont trust her enough)…
-we used to allow ‘afternoon’ naps when she was done with her work…but she got so brazen that she literally slept like a dead log so whenever we have deliveries or need to call her, she is non contactable…a few times my husband went home during lunch…and he found her asleep so deeply that he cant even wake her up by calling her…
-there was once he also found her in our bedroom !!! Sleeping with all her housework undone…
It gets worse cos now she can’t even bother to get up on time in the morning…1 week almost everyday we have to wake her up…OMG
-my house is a small apartment of less than 1000sqft with only 3 occupants , Me hubby and son ( 3yrs)…
Seriously cant wait to send her ass packing…

I’ve had 3 maids so far…1 Filipino …1 Indon and current one myanmmar…

The Filipino maid was my first ever maid so we were new at being ‘employers’…in general she was ok but also probably cos she had loads of freedom cos we are not home the whole day…my son was in infant care…so she helped us picked him ( i booked grab for her to shuttle him home) cos worried for my son’s safety…so her main task was cooking and housework which she did quite ok -not great always had to keep repeating things and she was always trying to beat the system…basically do just enough not to get 'scolded…
She worked 9 mths and during ‘Christmas’ came up with one elaborate drama series story to go home…said her mum had stroke etc…( i saw on fb she was going to restaurants to celebrate Christmas)…then msg me again in Jan after her 1 mth holiday to say she’s ready to return to work with me if im ok ( i was like ??? her skin so thick???)
I went maidless for awhile but really couldnt cope as I do not have parents/ in laws help…and sometimes my husband works long hours
2nd helper Indonesian…this one was the most problematic…always gave the poor thing face wanna cry kind of face…broke things and dare not tell us till we found out ourselves…also stole $$…tried many times to borrow $$ as well…and she always had this scary vibe u dont know what she’s gonna do to you…this one also worked 9 mths…then finally kicked up a ruckus and said cos i kept nagging at her i should send her back…( she packed her bags on the same day)…
The current one from Myanmmar still ok in terms of character etc…but really very stubborn always always have to keep reminding her about things and cannot meet expectations of:
-Coming back on time on her off days
-Getting up on time / not making so much noise when she gets up ( with her loud alarm clock etc)
-can sleep like a log/ in the afternoon even with the condo intercom she can sleep through even though me and my husband are calling her everyone 2-3 mins…( so far already 3 times these incidences)
-Will always yak loudly on her hp when i pass it to her…not discretion abt considerate use to other members of the household despite repeatedly telling her…
-Feels like she behaves like a tenant instead
-but everytime u tell her off she will apologise and say sorry etc…attitude wise she’s ok but isn’t there a limit to how many times u can apologise rte? ( makes it feel like its not sincere)…
-I think its ‘familiarity’ breeds contempt…she also doesnt know how to practise discretion and act like she has a huge say on household matters…like we went shopping once she actually told my husband the shirt he picked out for my boy is not nice…or when i discuss about sending my son for music class she will say to send him for drum class…argh…i guess thats the down side of having a helper they are there 24/7 in your face …
- Im in a dilemma whether to change??
Sighss

Super agree with this- all maids lie i feel its just to what degree they lie to…sometimes they lie more to cover up their initital lies and lie and lie and lie thinking you won’t know but i mean we are thinking logical people rte we will know what!!!

My current maid also fat and lazy and lies so often…when she doesn’t do something also will insist that she does until really you confront her with hard evidence like CCTV etc then no choice then will fess up…
Brought her on a holiday when we got back she also holiday mode- started being very lazy using up things in the home and not cleaning up after…they always try to get away with whatever they can and hope that you don’t notice…
