Dear Mini Mee. I m so sorry to hear abt yr child. Pls do not blame yourself n think u could've been a better mum. It is because we wanna do our best dat we go out n work. Not for ourselves for our family, especially our kids just so we can be a good provider n ensure they lack nothing. As for...

Then again like an agent told me. We are Singaporeans n the govt has taught us well. Disciplined us well. U throw a piece of paper. U get a fine. U spit. U get a fine. U take drugs u go to jail. Simple black n white law. No gray area. Unlike where they come from. Culture n governance different...

Yes dear. U can repatriate yr maid if u don't need her. Yes i agree that some employers are horrible too. But not all. Wat abt us who treat them human? Like our equal? U hear abt maids being starved. To death even. Then wat abt us who allow them to eat n cook anything n everything in our house...

On the other hand others will say n think, why, they work so hard they deserve at least a day off a week. But when we give them day off every Sunday wat they do? It's all happening n not rumours. It's happening to me. I can't wait to send her back but i have not found anyone ok yet. It seems...

Hi nunuvandijk. We kid u not. If we could afford to stay home n care for our kids we will. I have interviewed some helpers who have been in Singapore for between 4 and 9 yrs. When told that i m willing to give 2 off days in a month n compensate the other 2, you can see the face changing. My...

I do believe there are still many out there who are sincere n honest. Just dat we haven't crossed paths yet. It's all really tiring. Time consuming. Inconvenient.

As for getting a transfer maid. Let me share with u. We been shopping for transfer maids for 2 weeks now. Transfer maids are available usually almost immediately. Dats the advantage. However their asking pay ranges between $600 to $800. And they MUST get their weekly Sunday off. 98% are such...

So now we are at her mercy cos we need her to stay till our new helper arrives. We are both working and i just started at this fantastic place like 3 weeks ago and of cos i can't piss my bosses off rite. And she knows it. Honestly we felt sabotaged by her but wat can we do. So now the new maid...

Dear Jwturtle. Off days n hp are big deal for maids nowadays. Like it or not we have to give at least 2 off days in a month. This is a suggestion only. And yes. The sad but true fact is dat as months go by, even with once a month off, the maids will get "smarter." They make friends n start...

Yes novitahandoko. I know how u feel. I feel like we are the scape goats if we are the 1st ones to take them. An agent proposed a fresh maid to me yesterday. We are seriously considering. Like i said earlier. We can't expect them to think like us given the places where they come from. Everything...

I can't wait for my girl to be at least 5 yrs old n we can do without the maid n put her in child care. To do child care now i m a little protective. I prefer to do child care later

Hmmm.... i thought we shouldn't make it easy for her to come in again so soon so we thought of buying the 1 way ticket

I think very soon a new story will come up n she gotta back asap. And 1 more thing ladies. Learn from my case pls. She actually VOLUNTEERED to pay her own repatriation costs. U know why? She said she take ferry to bstam then from batam fly to Surabaya. Cheaper. Can u believe it?! I told somd...

So Witty pls share contacts asap so i can hire one asap. My guess will be next she will say she wanna go asap cos her leg very painful. Really? It's been 2 weeks since the incident. She been going out every sunday! With make up and all. Her leg pain?

And my maid agreed to wait till end august. We going KL from 7 aug to 10 aug. We bringing her along cos she said she nvr been there. These all planned n informed her before the day she yelled at me. Yesterday new story emerged. She said she not going KL. Leg pain getting worse. I said ok fine...
