madame, maid, mad!

It was such a pity to learn that my sil's maid is making problem AGAIN..

This is, I think her 4th maid in a row in a period less than 1 year! *shake head*

She either got herself one which is unwilling to work but telling her she wanted to work in a restaurant instead, or getting somebody who is not healthy enough, or getting one which is not fit for taking care of babies but just want to do house work....my my my, nowadays Indon maid also quite picky and tough to deal with.

Recently her maid 'buat hal' again. Leaving all the house work in the morning, lying and moarning in bed saying that she can barely wake up as her legs are numb....afterwards, god knows how many times since she arrived that she was brought to a clinic by SIL again, even the docs got angry with her and scolded her! She was brought for counselling session with the agency again.....

On their way to the agent, she requested to go home to mop the floor, saying that the babies would be home soon. (hmmmm...sound fishy isn't it? so sakit still want to work? ) They did not go home. Went straight to the agent. Later they found out that she packed all her belongings, together with the wet towel.............is she trying to run away?

Sometimes it really puzzles me ...things with these maids. I believe their live here is better than what they have back home. I do not know what is their aim to be here, to earn money or to get a new life all together. The maid agency is just a linking bridge. But is it better to stay with the construction guys whom they themselves are illegal workers. Is it worth the effort and suffer to be with these men in the name of love and freedom? Or are they just too innocent and naive?
I don't know. But I certainly respect their courage. The courage to run and face the unknown...

* little joke here : hubby said if we were to hire a maid in the future, just ask SIL to pick. Whoever she picks, we will not choose her for sure! ha ha ha..... ;-)

Haaaaaa, naughty leech!!!

fuyoh.... she must be very frustrated with the maid. Poor thing. I must say it really depends on luck one. IF unlucky, maid buat hal all the time, if lucky maid very helpful and caring. Guess she has to pray harder. :)

Ya lor, is very hard to figure out how the indon maid think. I had a good maid, at least that is how to appear to be but after she got a boyfriend (found out she secretly own a handphone and has this abang no), she ran off!! So I guess is just luck when come to indon maid.
