I think I'm rather unlucky. My first maid has gone out of a sudden (while I am expecting in just 2 months & have a 3yo boy). I came across a Philippino maid who worked for 6yrs with the same employer. Since the employer said highly of her, I hired her & waited for 7-8 weeks for her to come.
My new maid worked for me for 2 weeks. I don't want to recall what she has done that upset me anymore. But yesterday, I was stunt when I saw she washed 6 of her own underpants hung on a hanger. She put the hanger right next to our pillowcases to dry in the air together. As wind blew, her underpants touched our pillowcases (could be me or my husband who sleeps on it). Personally, no matter how clean she washes her panties, I feel this is totally unacceptable. I told her right away what I thought was wrong & I told my husband hoping he would have a word with her too. As I expected, my husband felt irritated but didn't say anything as he found it embarassing.
May I ask when & where do your maids dry their laundry? Or am I too picky?!
Thanks for all your advice. I remember I asked my first maid to hang her laundry in the bathroom which she & my son shared. But soon, there was a bad smell ("up-may") developed. Maybe I should ask her to dry her clothes separately from ours anyway!
florence,
Exactly, I think my husband should 炳佢 but he said it was embarassing & asked me to handle it. Since I am always the one who play the bad guy, Philippino maids will only complain their mum & not their sir! xyz!!!
