Myanmar Maid

Have read a lot about Myanmar maid attitude and indeed it is true that they are rude, no manners and super big eater. My current maid is a typical one cos she doesn't say sorry when she did something wrong nor say thank u when you give them something. She can eat 1.5 cups of rice everyday and don't drink water thus she keep getting bad breath and sore throat quite often. Sometimes i wonder she is pregnant or i am the one previously cos she can eat more than me and yet still so skinny!

Incidence 1 - The second day that she started working with us, we went out for late lunch. Hubby was kind to order prawn roll to share and tell her "this one to share". Guess what happen next? She took the whole plate n put infront of her. I quickly took it away and put 2 pieces into a small plate and gave her instead. Giving her benefit of doubt that she doesn't understand the word "share". But after she finished the 2 pieces, she helped herself to the 3rd pieces without asking for permission. Not that i m stingy but if she ask me for another piece, i can give extra piece than she take without asking. Eversince then, we decided to portion out the food for her so that she can't be greedy. Initially she was ok to eat leftover food from the previous day. Now she will still eat but can tell that she doesn't like to eat anymore cos she will take very little rice and eat her biscuits at nite.

Incidence 2 - One morning, I found one of my 3 pieces toiletries set was chipped and I went to ask my maid what happen. She told me that she broke it when she was cleaning the toilet some time ago. But she quietly hide it and didn't tell me until i discovered. I was quite pissed that she kept quiet and didn't even apologise when i questioned her. Hubby went to tell her that she doesn't have manner and didn't apologise when she did something wrong. Only then, she came to say sorry to me very unwillingly.

Incidence 3 - One day she confessed to me that she took some oil without telling me and put into the rice to cook. I was like how and what you are trying to cook rice with oil?!? Since this is a trivial matter, i didn't pursue it further. Anyway she's a weirdo cos she put bread into water and soak it before eating it. Really disguisting.

Incidence 4 - Few days ago, she passed me a letter and asked me to post for her. So i paid and post for her. The next day then she asked me how much. Since it is only $0.60, so i told her it's ok and i will pay for it. She didn't even say thank u and just went off to her bedroom! So rude.

Incidence 5 - Baby Danelle is sleeping the same room with my maid. Every nite around 11pm to 2am, Danelle will occassionally eh-eh-eh and u know what? I am always on "alert" mode so I quickly run over from my bedrom to check out Danelle and saw that fellow still sleeping like a pig! This happened numerous times until hubby was pissed off with her and wake up her to tell her off. But it doesn't work cos even after hubby scolding, she still sleep like a pig these few nites. How can we sleep in peace at nite if she continue to be like that?

Incidence 6 - Yesterday, i told her to change and wash my sofa cover. She happily hang up the cover and only then tell me that she throw the white and red cover into washing machine and the white cover become pink!!! Wa lau.. i really can't stand it anymore. This isn't the first time that she wash the sofa cover and she anyhow throw all into washing machine to wash. I have taught her to sort out the white vs colored ones but yet she can still make this kind of mistake. There is another separate occassion where she throw a black top among the pool of white clothes in the washing machine but was caught by me! She only apologize when she see me black face n damn pissed off with her yesterday. Isn't saying sorry an automatic word when you did something wrong and not wait until the other party is pissed off then you open the 'golden mouth'?

Initially when she came, everything was still ok and bearable. Now 4+months, all the pattens come out already. Can't tolerate her anymore and time to change maid liao.... Wish me luck in finding a better one.

Wish you luck in searching for a new maid. My 1st maid was also terrible, she always use her degree background to press you down and don't want to learn from you. Thinking of all this maid, it's your luck... now my this maid is still acceptable... Hopefully she'll be better... I just pray and don't ask for more
