Suliah, my current maid is generally an acceptable maid with fairly good work attitude and is diligent. However, she doesn't like to be corrected of her mistakes. She loves to do work her way, not my way. Each time I correct her mistakes or the way she does her work, she will put on a sour face or let out a sigh. I've chided her a few times before. This morning, as she was carrying the garbage from the kitchen to the front of our house to dispose them, I noticed some stinky water dripping out from the garbage bag all the way from the kitchen to the hall. When I asked her to mop the floor, she let out a big grunt, hhhhiiii....yyyahhhh....... as if to tell me "you fussy lady boss". Trivial matter like this really spoils my day and I always ask myself why am I paying close to a thousand ringgit a month just to stomach someone's nonsense.
Suliah's contract will be expiring in December this year. I am still in a dilemma whether to extend her contract or just be done and over with live-in maids for the rest of my life. Maids.... you can't live with one, yet you can't live without one.

maids ah? got also headache, no also headache. I'm in the same dilemma as you. This is my 4th maid in 5 years span, she's ok, but she's a little KPC and m MIL doesn't like her. So no way to extend. Now I have phobia about my new maid which will arrive end of next month.
I wish to live without a maid.... but that will be another 2 years I suppose
I do agree. Can't live with them and can't live without them. Mine is 3rd maid in 2.5yrs.I guess all indon maids like to do things their way and think that we are either fussy or stupid. My maid used to grumble whenever my MIL tells her off and I told her not to be rude and just be quiet as she's an old lady. I guess she's already used to my MIL already. Whenever MIL said something, she'll just be quiet. When we r being nice to them, they climb on ur head. When we bully them, they'll take revenge on us.Hai.....
I also wish I am maid-free but I know being such a neat & clean freak & so 'siew cheh', I can never live w/o a maid, not for the next 3 - 4 years.
So far my maid has been a great help to us. She took good care of Dillon & will take care my 2nd baby too. Just hope that she can cope with 2 kids. :)
Karen.. you r very lucky to hv a good maid. Good maids are a RARE species.
hmm...maybe can consider keeping, if she will change her attitude
Jazzmint... if i decide to keep her for another 1 yr, i will hv to give her a real good pep talk.
my maid, she's just like my arm and my leg. she does everythin without me havin to tell her. and most importantly, she adores my little boy to pieces. takes really good care of him.
comin this raya, she'll be back to indon for a holiday and she's extendin her contract with us.
shireen, i found a rare species!
Maybe you Lady's might like to try actually looking after your own children and maintaining your own homes!
It is very gratifying work, a great sense of accomplishment and you do things the way YOU like it done and it's done to your satisfaction!!!
