Joanne, I'll email u the pix later, sorry, been quite busy past days, hv started to take over babycare cos I think my parents having a bit of tough time taking care of a needy 1.5 yr old and baby and housework...sigh... Yes, same issue here, parents don't want maid lol...tough...
For past 1 yr, we bring our clothes to hubby's grandma's maid for ironing, then we'll buy her food like 3-in-1 coffee, chips, chilli sauce, etc. My SIL had a Philipinos maid previously, so each time they go over to PIL's place for dinner or deposit kids short while, will pay maid $10 for her help with dishes and mop floor. Think she doesn't like the arrangement, and SMS my SIL saying will report to MOM if she has to help out at another address. Since, they have changed maid, and made do with slowly, less clued on maid. And we've been warned to not offer $$ to maid for assistance, food is ok. I guess diff maids will accept diff kinda arrangements. It's a fine line sometimes...
