Several days ago, I told my Cambodian maid that she could help herself to the basket full of mandarin oranges in the kitchen. I didn’t mind her eating 2-3 oranges a day but this morning when I saw the wet kitchen floor scattered with mandarin orange seeds and skin, I was fuming mad. Only yesterday I had told her to be careful not to leave the seeds on the floor of our dry kitchen and today, she threw the seeds on the wet kitchen floor! This young lady really needs some guidance in civilization and manners.
Last night, I told her that she could have a few slices of the Valentine’s Day cake for breakfast. When I searched the fridge for the cake to eat this afternoon, I could not find the cake. I then saw the empty cake box in the wet kitchen! When I asked my maid if she had finished the entire cake, she said yes!! Oh boy, I think this lady is just too much. From today onwards, I should be really explicit with her when I give her instructions. Maybe she misunderstood me as she always seems blur and always says ‘yes’, though she may not clearly understand what I am trying to say. Next time, I should tell her clearly how many slices of bread or cake she can eat, else she will gobble down everything that we leave in the fridge. Tonight, I should tell her clearly not to finish off Sherilyn’s birthday cake, else that young lady can really chomp down the entire Pooh Bear cake in one day.

This is one of the headaches of having maids…..maybe yours is just miscommunication….mine is worse….she would steal our food in fridge ..when we r not looking….and always deny and lied when my children favorite food disappear….today i just caught her having the same colour nail polish on her big toe nail..which i had on my nails…my old lip gloss….a snicker choc wrapper on her pocket…. when i spot check her…!
hahaha…u maid looks skinny and she can really eat ya.
same with my previous maid. I told her you can eat the cake for your b’fast, maybe 1-2 slices, but when I want to eat in the noon, she finish the whole cake…oh no!! that is very expensive leh….terrible!
hahahahahahaha…oooopppss..sorry..
when my maid first came, when we are out for dinner..we let her take the food herself..she won’t paiseh or “hak hei” just take all the food, as much as she can. Now we take the food for her instead she took it herself. At home, i will just give her her share instead of telling her u can eat this. That will be easier.
