Been busy on so many things recently and didn’t have time to blog about this. It actually happened about a month ago.

The story goes like this, most of you knew that I have 2 Myanmar maids (maid A & B). Maid A has been working for us since Dillon was born and maid B came after Kaith was born. Everything was fine until April, maid B decided to quit so ok, we can’t do much but to let her go in end May.

We were trying to get a replacement but no luck, luckily my mother-in-law (MIL) was there to help out and I truly appreciate that. In fact, I didn’t know that my MIL is so capable in doing housework and handling kids until then.

Anyway, not long after that my MIL discovered that my maid A has an attitude problem. Maybe she’s been working with us for long and she always thought that we rely so much on her & we can’t lose her(since I’m wokring full time), so she did not respect my MIL in many ocassions.

For instance my MIL said she put too much salt for Dillon’s food, she fight back and said no, and then the next day, she asked my MIL to cook herself so that she won’t complain. Another thing is that my MIL asked her to wake up at 6am to mop the floor & clean the house before kids wakes up (kids wake up at 7am plus), she said she cannot get up that early and she is used to get up after 7am with the kids (yes, it was also our fault to have given in too much earlier on.)

Furthermore maid A asked for a pay increase again (after increased during CNY) because we didn’t get a replacement for maid B and she has to do a lot more, which is really nonsense. We rejected her & insisted her to follow what my MIL said, and then she said she wanted to quit. Perhaps she thought we would ask her to stay, but we didn’t, my MIL was so pissed up with her attitude and didn’t want her to stay, so my maid A will only stay with us till end of June now.

Luckily we have found an Indonesian maid as replacement, although we are not sure how good/bad this maid is, but with my MIL around to train her and keep an eye on her, I’m not too worried.

I hope my my kids will get along well with the new maid too, wish me luck! :)
