Mean maid!

My Filippino maid has gone back yesterday.

I felt so played out bcoz just 2-3 weeks ago when she cried, i asked her exactly the same question if she wanna go home and she insisted NO, she wanna continue to work for 2 years. If only she has gone home then, i wouldn't have wasted the rest of the 2 weeks training her and letting her be close to my children. Also before she came over to Sg, i did tell her my situation that i cannot afford to have my helper leave after a couple of weeks or months due to homesick and she said she wouldn't .

Now, just when we're (esp the boys are starting to accept her) getting used to her, she wanna go back coz she is missing her children very badly.

I cannot imagine one can be so vicious just because when she asked for a second chance, i refused. I mean, c'mon, who would right? Later kena play by her again plus the fact that she didn't have any respect for me yesterday. Before the agent or i have said anything on whether she can leave or not, she stopped doing all the housework and stare at the window the whole morning till afternoon before she talked to the agent for final closure who managed to change her mind to stay on. By then, i've already made up my mind to let her go.

Not only that, she actually started packing too, EVERYTHING.. things that my mil gave her, more than 100 pcs of clothings which she wanted to send home initially (c'mon, when u only work for 1 month, u didn't only not feel guilty, summore dare take the stuff packed in the new bags too!) and clothings i bought for her as well! But i told her to leave everything behind. Feel she doesn't deserve them at all when i found out she was already packing before i say anything.

This morning, the maid actually complained to the agent that she worked in 2 houses and if they wanna complain MOM, i'll kena. But the thing is, i never make her work in 2 houses. We never specifically bring her to in laws' place to do housework. We only we bring her to in laws' house during the weekends for dinner or when hb and i are going out without the kids. Don't tell me she expects not to do anything after eating the dinner which my in laws prepare for us?? Cannot wash dishes? Or after cooking, cannot help to clean the kitchen?

Do you call that working for 2 households?

Sigh. So much for being so nice to her during the past 1 month! She gets to eat anything and everything and when we go out for dinner, she gets the exact share of what we eat or more!

She also pleaded to keep the clothings mil gave her and i agreed and she cleverly wore the shoes i bought her instead of her own slippers, claiming that her slippers were at the agent when it was just on the shelf! *roll eyes* I was like, fine. I wonder if she ever thought of mil's generousity when mil bought her new tops and bottoms before she complained about working in 2 households..

And she actually took the clothings which i told her not to. Only realised it after i have sent her off when i checked the cupboard. Gave her the benefit of doubt so i didn't really check her luggage before she left. Afterall, she's 31 years old. Didn't want to make her look like a thief but i guess kindness doesnt pay. Do you call that stealing btw, just in case she wanna complain me to MOM.

I'm glad that i managed to learn of her new colour this early..
