The ultimate tricks the maid using are:
1. Pretending not understand what you said
2. Saying this is your order or you told me to do so, but actually not.
3. Cry
4. Headache
5. Panadol, but no doctor
6. Not eating
7. Black face
8. Playing idiot
9. Smart and nice to everyone else except you
No need to say sorry, since this is her duty to HELP you in domestic work. Making rules and watch her closely especially in the beginning period like you now. One on one couching is needed for Indonesian maid for months and depending on the quality and age. For Indonesian maid over or close to 40, they are slow, slow and slow learner or act like old people here in Hong Kong over 60 years old.
我鐘意你同我講 I Love U, I Love U Too!
You are the sunshine of my life. That's why I'll always stay around. You are the apple of my eye. Forever you'll stay in my heart.
My experience is really bad, I have used hehalady method at the begining. But the situation grow worse in light speed. I have to use very hard methods within 2 weeks and have to keep this level.
Mori,
so no more panadol la, I told her I will go to the doctor with you if I found you saying you are sick, headache or don't want to eat.....
You guess what, she suddenly become very healthly for the last 2 months.
You must not let her not having her meal: 1.) she will accuse us for not giving her enough meal later.
2.) I have to make sure she is having the same meal she make for us.
