vanilla,
my maid use the same tiny piece of cloth to clean the entire floor w/o rinsing! my MIL almost fainted. have to teach her to bring a small pail of water and rinse as they go. she wants to use the cloth than to use the mop! now i made her use the mop.
i'll check with the PD abt the fever. she didnt really say when the fever will break..
saxo,
for sure if that is the only thing she has to do! just tell her if she can't do her job, you will send her back. i hate confrontations of any kind but with my current maid, i have had to sit her down and give her a few pep talks. she was almost a goner until her cooking picked up recently.. heh
mint,
i have been wondering abt the middle child syndrome too. but was thinking she is too young to start demonstrating it?
