I do not know is there anyone same like me. My maid had been with me for almost 6 years, from my DS (6yrs) to DD (4yrs), been through alot and we become like "good friends". Family trip to HOng KOng, Vietnam, THailand, Malaysia Indoensia we never fail to bring her along. Actually this year, i had already bought air ticket to taiwan for her too, but things just cannot proceed. She is a good helper and she can go anywhere to run errand which is of great help to me.
All the while her performance is good and as time goes by, we also become close of course there is bounds to be some line drawn when comes to work. However, ever since the past 3 months plus, her working attitude and bad performance had drove me to the limits. She began to talk loud to my kids, not fulfilling her duites, every time gave us a sulking or black face but when meet others, jokes and sweet smile. When we ask her to do things, she will show you a face like reluctant. Everytime forget this and that. Blah Blah Blah. In fact previously she already wanted to go back but we ask her to consider staying until my DS primary one. She agreed to stay.
For the past years, i have been saying want to send her back, dunno how many hundred times but every time my heart will be soften, partly also become my kids very attached to her too and i can't imagine what will happen if there is a new maid, will my kids like or adapt well...etc etc. I am FTWM and without a maid, i can't imagine the life turning upside down, who is going to send and fetch my kids, classes, preparing meals etc.. How about housework? I can't cook ? So many in my thoughts, i doubt i am able to cope.
But this is the last time i will be tolerating her, i am going send her back. I do not know why i really feel heart pain and upset. I decided to let her go because i don't think she will be able to work like previous anymore. Maybe people said maids are same, old birds already sure change and shown true colours. I agreed this and since i also cannot endure her attitude, so i decided to purchase ticket and will send her back this weekend.
Does anyone feel like me? Maybe you are laughing at me, she is only a maid, why should we have such a huge feeling rollar coaster? Hope this will go away soon.
Thanks, just to share my feeling here.
