I usually buy wheat bread for my breakfast, half pound with 4 pcs, only cost $4.2. my yan yan always buy her favourate bread of her breakfast , cost $5 each. I have told her she can't use my money to buy thing for herself, before that she bought potatoes chips, ice-cream etc.
Besides, for my meals, I don't eat beef and chicken for this critical moment (since I am now pregent) and she doesn't eat pork and a lot of things, she usually make another dish for herself such as chicken wing, fish ball etc. When I eat rice noodle, she will make 出前一丁 or 烏東 for herself.
I also buy shampoo and bathing lotion for her and also her favourate spicy sauce.
Ladies, what should I give her and what should stop her, please comment.
I think you no need to give her so many yummy food to eat. Usually I will buy wheat bread for her breakfast and lunch time (no one at home) she can eat rice, vegatables, pork, chicken (we don't eat beef) or noodles. At night we will eat the same dishes. My maid cannot use my money to buy her favourite food except with my permission.
mabeln,
I think u started a bad begining because u give too much to your maid! Shampoo and shower lotion is
no need to supply to the maid. Also, don't give to much choice to your maid, give clear instruction and
food list to her, she just can eat what u give! But in your situation, if u decrease the supply of things, maybe make your maid unhappy and poor performance. You may just keep this situation if u don't mind!

Mabeln,
Since the first day she arrived, I told her she can share the hair, body shampoo and tooth paste with me (if she doesn't mind), actually I was told by my friend that it is not necessary. But I told her that she has to buy her own sanitary things. As for breakfast she seldom eat, lunch time will go Yum Cha with my mum or sometimes cook noodles at home, she is quite discipline in the sense that she won't use my money to buy things for herself unless with my permission. I always told her to eat and sleep enough otherwise if she gets sick, I have to send her to doctor and she can't work, therefore it won't do any good to you and the family, right?? Also, I don't want to be too calculative because I am sure that if I am nice to her and she will know and she will be nice to you too.
When my bun bun first comes to my home, I buy white bread with jam for her breakfast. But now she prefers to buy breakfast with her own money as she can buy any food whatever she likes. Also, I only provide 2 meals for her everyday (as she takes care of her breakfast). She is responsible for her own snack/fruit/drink. I let her to use a small cabinet in the kitchen for storing her own food.
I think you should reiterate to her that she comes to HK is to work for her life. She should not take any advantage. You will provide meal to her but not for her favourite choice. Every time when you give money to her for marketing, you should check the bill. If you find that she uses your money to buy food unreasonably, you should charge her.
