don't feel upset, it took me more than 2 years until my husband really stand on the line with me in regard with maid's issues...... he had same thinking as your husband...the maid is living under others' roof.. we must concern her feeling... and not until he had more real experience with the maid.. he won't know.
i guess you should talk to your maid directly and give her a schedule or yes.. call home if you see she is too lazy from the cam. My 1st maid turned on the TV almost for the whole day when my 1st baby was around 1.... so, I called home and told her politely not to turn on the TV often as it's bad for my baby. Assign work for her during the day and check if she finished by the end of the day... they really need monitor often... once you loosen up.. they just have no discipline at all.
complain less to your husband.. honestly, they don't quite understand..man concerns is ..someone will handle everything and he can be free ~~ To make him know how you feel.. you have to let him experience lor....
I show "可憐樣" to C6. Indeed, i work till 8pm, back home, dinner for 20mins, BB cries, i hold him mostly till he sleep at midnight (bathing 15mins). That's everyday routine, my maid sleep at 8pm in her room!!! ( She may sleep in daytime too!)
C6 's work is much more relax than me. So, he show support to me and now hold more BB and feed him the last milk milk time lei. Please don;t scold the maid in front of C6, unless he also think that the maid is wrong (let him scold at the maid instead of you). I think it works.

I came across your same problem. I dont' think you've done anything inappropiate. Food poisoning is serious and life-threatening indeed!
I also employ as first time. My BB now few months old. In hi ...
So happy you're understanding my feeling, and I just unhappy that C6 don't stand by me. Eventhough I'm so tired to carry the baby, but I'm stand on to carry her after work. Since I don't want to see BB love the helper more than me in the future.

I also employ as first time. My BB now few months old. In his first month, i also hired "陪月". So, daytime maid can take rest, night time shared by me and maid. Well. OK for the first month. But since i back to work at BB's 8 weeks, she seems tired (mid-age already) and black face + no responses. Although i always praise her, give her little red pockets. Once she argued with C6, and claimed that she was tired to work. So, i tried to rearrange the time. Do you know? Ha Ha!
She do much less housechore (even though she do it under standard), also, i sleep with BB at least mostly in one week. She "hide" in her room at 8 pm every night after cleansing the dishes. No more active working till 6am in the morning.
Jovywong, can you accept this?
I am sure you have to talk with C6, if he is on your side, you will get through these days better. C6 acts as "evil", he will instruct clearly and talk to her seriously if she is not doing well. I try to "please" her. Really, i am not happy about that. But i really depend her much as i need to work from 8am to even 8pm daily. As she still good to my BB, i don't want to fire her lei.
Please discuss with your C6 in calm, explain the condition to him and invite him to show support and on your side. My C6 seldom talks, but now we have more discussing items surely the bad / stupid things the maid doses frequently.
