I think it's a bit too much of her request, also she seems not treating herself as a maid. Therefore, I would recommend that you change the maid la....
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.
Several months ago, my maid bought a Notebook (Samsung brand, around $8K) without asking me beforehand. She is very clever (and very rich, richer than me!) as she also bought another new mobile phone especially for the access of internet. Besides, she also bought video cam, speakers, wireless headphone... (very well-equipped!) Her excuse is that she wants to learn computer but she doesn’t want to pay expensive charges to the computer store during holidays. She also wants to chat with her family more often after working hours as she miss her mother. I’m too “soft heart” then my nightmare began ---
--- Every night she used her Notebook until 1:00 a.m. (She said she could not sleep before 1:00 a.m.) Next morning, she would feel very very sleepy and had to drink lots of coffee but I still found her not able to concentrate to work. (My son sleep at 9:30 p.m. and she will be free from 9:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m.)
--- She charged her Notebook every 2 days inside my son’s room (I have already told her that no charging electricity is allowed inside my son’s room but she did it secretly when I was not at home).
--- Every night around 1:00 a.m. I will go to my son’ room to check him, my maid was still happily chatting with her friends/ browsing through the internet/ watching DVD/…
--- One night, I found that she was still watching DVD happily at 1:30 a.m. And I felt EXTREMELY angry because she unplug the air-purifier inside my son’s room and plug her Notebook for charging while watching DVD at the same time. (My son has 氣管敏感 and always cough at night, the purifier is specially for him to sleep better). She explained that the DVD is almost finished but the Notebook is out of battery so she has to do it.
That night I could not sleep and really wanted to kick her out of my home. Next few days, I didn’t talk to her and gave her black face. Maybe she senses it. Then I put stickers “no charging electricity without permission” “Pls save the electricity” on all the electricity plugs and on/ off switches. Besides, I also set a timer on the socket inside my son’s room and tell her that the timer will record if she has charged electricity when I was not at home (of course it is only a lie!) Then on her salary day, I talk to her seriously that if she still wants to work at this house, she has to remind herself that she come here to work and earn money, she needs to have self control.
Next week, I found that her Notebook gone. (Maybe she gave it to her TB lover).
P.S.
This few months, I can save $150 - $200/ month on the electricity bill after her computer has gone. But I’m still scare that the Notebook will come back to my house one day ….
