Mummies,
Really want to rant here about my maid. Yesterday went to my bestie's son's birthday party at their place. Can see there're a few maids there when we reached, then we were just entering and i was talking to the hosts and family, she tapped me and asked where can she leave the diaper bag and we have not even stepped into the house. I told her to wait, then she turned around, asked my bestie's maid and then left the bag and carry my no. 2 to the mat outside where 2 maids were sitting and started chatting! i was quite taken aback cos she didn't do this before. My no. 1 went to play with the other kids and it was early, so me and hubby ate first and let her play for a while. While eating, i saw that the maids took turn to go and take food and help each other to look after the kids, i was not very happy already cos i don't know those maids and i don't even know their employers, how can she leave my baby to others like that? She didn't even inform me, i was sitting like just a few metres away, she can easily called me. I walked over and grab my no. 2 and she knew immediately i'm not happy already. So she went to get my no. 1 after she took her food and asked if she wants to eat. Before she get the food, she came to me and told me that my no.1 wants to eat and she's going to feed her. Good tactic right to avoid scolding, so she ate while feeding my no. 1. The whole night, she kept trying to come to me to get my no. 2 and after a while i realised that she did that so she can just sit down with the maids to chat, so everytime i saw that i will get my no. 2 and ask her to go and follow no. 1. and she will never fail to come back to me after a while and told me she will take care of no. 2. I didn't want to talk to her about this and hubby told me not to, say she won't learn her lesson (after several incidents) and i'll just have to treat her as if she's new everytime and give her specific instructions on what to do everytime we go to such gatherings. I don't restrict her on chatting with other people but at least don't overstep it right, do what she's suppose to do first ma. Grrrrrr.......
