Hi SY,
If only maid alone with baby, of course my attitude to her will be different. But then also not everything at their mercy.
Hi SY and God's child,
MIL's maid from hell story:-
Agent advised us that her husband has recently divorced her so don't ask her about family. But she cried and cried the first few days she was tehre. The next day, before she start work, tell us she has headache due to all the crying. We asked her to sleep longer. The next day, come tell us that she ironed her hand when doing the ironing. The next day, came to show us the cut on her finger caused by can opener when she tried to open the can. The next day, again show us the burn on her hand when she was frying fish in the wok.... Everyday, she like to 'surprise' us with her injury and expect us to 'sayang' her......
Asked her to wash car - cried and said we treat her like animals, we don't respect her. Said her previous employer wash their own car.....
Asked her to cook, she said she don't know. We told her it's ok, we are willing to teach. Cook two dishes to show her, asked her to make notes and asked her to recook the same dishes taught yesterday. It was those simple dishes (Tofu soup, fried egg). She replied she forgot......When we complained to the agent, she replied to the agent that we cook different dishes everyday. The agent was also angry upon ghearing it and asked her who wants to eat the same dish everyday??? She replied she don't mind.... But then when we cook, she helps herself to the biggest portion. We also realise she cook herslef tiger prawns , fried a whole fish for her own lunch when we are not around.
Once MIL chided her, she show black face. When MIL choose to ignore her, she suddenly hugged MIL from behind and ask for forgiveness.... Once she even 'pinched' MIL's face and said she's only "joking"....
My overall conclusion : She's not in her right mind.
During this period, she's more of a hindrance than help. I don't even dare to let ashley near her, make milk myself etc.... I was expecting megan then and i told hubby i will get depression if i am to face the maid during my confinement.....
See, she 'xiao' or not?
