Foreign Domestic Worker

I will be hiring a FDW - 'Maid' soon... But I dun look forward to that at all.
I have heard so many stories and read so much reports about their conducts and behaviour. Worse still is I know my mother will have problem with them, cos she is easily bullied and maid cannot meet her cleanliness expectation too.

Just yesterday she told me how upset she was with my sister maid and how my sister choose to ignore and trust her maid. I know she felt very upset and not worth as a mum.

According to her, my sis maid have always been hinting to her that she is only resposible to do work for my sister, brother-in-law and 2 nieces. Recently the maid even told my mum that her friend told her that as a ex-S'pore maid she can easily fretch a S$400 pay (she is from myanmar and currently her agency only quoted $300)

As this is June school holiday, my mum will always go over to my sis plc to be with my nieces and the maid is there to take care of the 2 months old baby. First thing in the morning she ask my mum not to go so early (as she previously mention to my mum that her friend also dun like the master's mother to be around and watch over her).

In the afternoon, when my mum ask her to fried beehoon for all, she said she will take instant noodle. She even went to the extend of telling my mum she can warm up the leftover food in the fridge (why my mum now sound like a maid at my sis place?). My mum than ask her if so how about the kids and my sis who is coming back for lunch after her usual half day work? Guess what? she ask my mum to call my sis to pack back her own lunch.

My mum was fumming by now, finally she remembered that my nieces love to eat porriage, therefore my mum ask my 6 years old niece to go to the maid and make the request for porriage. The maid than reluctantly start cooking, but instead of watch over the cooking process she walk away and hid in the baby room end up the porriage was over cooked...

2nd instant when my sister is home, the maid start to act nice and talk to my sis about her plan (since she is near end of her 2 yrs contract) she knew my mum was there too, she than sound as if ordering my mum to go and bath - "婆婆，go and bath". (according to my mum)

I can imagine and come to think of it why is she treating my mum more like a maid, why is she giving my mum this kind of instruction at my sister place? I have not talk to my sister about this as I know she is very occupied by her own work and baby now... And I really dun wish to go and trouble her, but her maid's attitude is really bad...
