菲傭一向做得不錯,但最近有天忽然對著我奶奶大哭,大概說她家裡有事,但奶奶聽不明英文,我晚上回家問她是否太累,她只對我說老公"being stupid",我就說笑地說我老公有時也很stupid,而她說下午已打電話回家,應該OK。我當時以為她跟老公吵架,而她也沒告訴我什麼,便跟她說如她要take a rest,可跟我說。
You have to talk to her. My Indo maid has the same problem and it was lucky that my husband noted she was dispressed. I then talked to her to comfort her and to make clear that no matter what was problem, she needed to decide whether she still want the job here as we do not want her to do any harm to baby due to her emotion. She appreciated our kindness and let us know the problem. She admitted that when she was not happy that few days, baby cried alot and seemed to know her problem (baby was only 4 months old)! Of course, you may need to see what kind of fall-back action should be taken if she really resigns. My maid decided to continue to work here but does not remit money to her husband, just to her daughter who is old enough to take care of herself through some relatives.
