ahNah - i don't give house number to her (but then dunno how come she know subsequently) but i give her my hp no (in case of emergency) and i told her her family can call or sms my hp as and when they like if there's a need to contact her but not the house no.. as for my previous maid, i allow her family to call our house no. as n when they like but end up her lover call so MANY times! and also at wee hrs like 1am, 3am, 5am type of timing! during wee hrs, i pick up, he hang up! then daytime, he call, she say this relative that relative, son etc etc call (but all same person!!) and she talk so LONG with him each time! so i learnt my lesson and this time no more calling to the house, at least via my hp, i ve control, i can decline the call! but i allow my present maid to call home anytime she want using the calling card (which is kept by me).. i allow her the flexibility bcos she kept asking for hp, i said no n so with the arrangment i ve for her, there's no excuse for a hp.
