Maid Problems !!!

My old maid has left and is now a boss in Indonesia, setting up her own shop selling clothes and food.

I have got a new maid for 3 months now.  She is slow and doesn't really use any strength when she did the housework, however she can cook quite well and is able to care for my mother.  I had thought I won't have any maid problems with her, however, recently she started to show her patterns. She is now asking for transfer and gives all sort of excuses like having to eat late causes her gastric to flare up because of feeding my mother, having headache because my mother wakes her up at night, have to work until 12 midnight (which is a lie) and the latest is that I am calculative on the food she ate and she is not having enough food. I am letting the maid agent to handle her and I am standing by the fact feeding and tending to my mother at night was conveyed to her before she came and I did give her proper meals.

It is really true that having maid is a problem itself.  If I had a choice I will never engage one. You pay and feed her, and yet you still have to tolerate her mood, and worried about her ill-treating your parents or making a mess of your house.

Now there are infant care and childcare centers, some organisations should really start an eldercare centers.  Lots of it, so that we don't have to depend on these foreign maids.

Really!!!
