She is not smart, she is greedy. My Yan Yan too! If let her choose ,she always choose the expensive one, so I learned a lesson, I choose for her base on her eating habit.
When my two kids were young, I took my maid out for meals. Now that my kids are 9 & 5 already, I really don't need my maid around. So I usually let her stay at home. She can rest at home & cook for herself with what we have in the fridge. Do maids like to go out to eat with us or prefer to stay home?
PS. My last maid had a bad experience. We took her to a private club (we treated her as if a family member) but the club refused to let her in. We were not around & didn't know it. When I saw her, she cried. In fact, she put the blame on me because I asked her to join us. She felt discriminated. From then on, we did not ask my maid out for dinner anymore.
