Muffin: i had 3 indo, 2 sri lankan, and 2 myanmar maids in like 4 years. all have problems, just different kinds.
my first indo maid lasted 10 mths - she had no off day but managed to run a prostitution ring from my house.
so really, i think it is luck. and also, when they sign a contract for 2 years, it really means if u get one year, you are lucky liao.
but yes, always good to hear a story, so tell me

Just to check if you are taking the multi-vits (Pink tablet)?? if yes, then tt is the culprit.. Since i'm down with my flu, GP asked me to stop taking tt, but con't on with just folic acid (yellow) tablet..

lib,
I'm the one who posted about constipation. Yes I've got the pink tablet from my gynae. I did stop the tablet for 1 or 2 days but decided to continue cos worried not enough vits. haa kiasu.
chris,
When you go for your 1st trimester scan, the assessment unit will book the detailed scan for you also and date was written on the orange copy and the lady also tell you.
Usually appt for fri and sat are always full.

You tried filipino maid also?
This maid thing is really all luck. Can't really tell which agency is good or which nationality maid is good.... at the time when you choose the maid, you see their photo right. sometimes from pic can read abit of the person character though may not be easy and 100% true...
Actually 1 important thing is, don't allow them to bring phone along, don't let them go out (no off day), that will minimise the risk of them turning bad...
If you're considering filipino maid again, maybe can try one that come from hometown, iloilo. Heard the women there usually very good temper/patient...and perhaps not so vain! I just based on my maid is from iloilo, so far she is good, though she also made mistakes and ask for a hp. Overall, she is still very pleasant compared to alot i have seen outside. thru my observation, she is kind, good hearted and definitely not the vain type. she is clean too.

mico,
from my knowledge, if u change more than 3 in a year, u will be requested to go for interview to determine if its ur prob or maid prob.
tira,
my super easy going fren got a trf helper from the agency after being assured that the maid is competent in baby and child care and her last employer has to leave spore thats y she was trf. When the helper came, the following things surface:
1)she was super picky abt food
2)refuse to take instructions from her confinement lady
3)help herself to her baby shower gifts and her old clothes that she planned to give to her sister
4)is rude and refuse to listen to her mom
5)left her infant in the mall alone to comb her hair while my friend was in the toilet.
6)disappear without permission when the doing grocery shopping with my fren in a supermarket.
My fren told the agt her story and advise them to send her back rather than inflict pain on the new employer, but apparently, she was transferred out to another family.

Muffin: that is terrible. but as long as the maid's loan is not paid up, the agency will transfer her. cas they need to get their $$ back also.
thank goodness my current maid already finished paying her loan!!!! so now she wants to go home i send her home. but i did say she has to work until i find a replacement, which can take months!!

I thought most Burmese are buddist...
No, I never give her off day till now. She has worked 3 yrs with me. In the beginning, already agreed and i compensate her. But there are 3x, I allow her to go out out of my goodwill but is definitely not a normal/compulsory practice.
Realised all these maids the same, once they talk alot on phone or go out often will start to ask alot requests and be funny. but i agreed we have to act to individual situation. if too harsh to them also don't do us any good esp she is attending to our kids! Know what, my neigbour's maid is one who is a daring one! after 2 yrs of service, she threaten to have salary rised and off day, so they gave her cos she can look after babies quite well...so salary raised to $420/mth and 1 off day every 2 mths. Now know what? Can request to go downstairs occasionally to chit chat with friends cos she's bored (they sent the 2 toddlers to full day childcare) and also request to go study courses! She claimed other maids stay around my blk whom she knows also doing the same! Really ridiculous right? We paid for her everything to let her go study?????

muffin,
Yes my neighbour rejected her request and she should know that she had no bargainning power now, given that the kids are 'independent', go for full day childcare...they are keeping her for odd chores and of cos looking after the kids at nite and on wkends. They are prepared to let her go if she is unhappy... is a good chance to get a totally new one, more obedient at least for 1-2 yrs.
