Re maid
Hmmm.. never really considered transfer maids. that being said, my in laws have a transfer indo maid and it's working out v well for them and she's not bad.. if my inlaws don't want her i'd be happy to take her but i know they will keep her.. she's my mil's new best friend.. haha.. cos my mil likes to eat and this indo maid is v v good in cooking..
i can't speak malay.. won't that be a pbm w indo maids?
the other thing i was considering is that if a maid has children, she would be better versed in babycare right? i still intend to look after my babies myself and maid will only be asked to help if i can't handle, but if a maid has her own children, she should know how to do things like wash bottles, prepare baby foods? that should be easier?
abt off days.. i think i won't give off days lor.. cos my previous experience with maids is that give them of days and they become naughty.. have bf etc etc..that being said my parents do bring the maid out with them for meals and shopping etc..
