1) she will still eat your food (like rice and noodles)
2) she will use your gas
3)waste more time preparing her own food and less time doing house work
Ask her to go to agent. She cannot force u to pay food allowance. It is mutual. If she does not have enough meat, give her eggs, frozen chicken wings, frozen meat balls or baked beans. Let her eat as much rice as she wishes and let her have 2 coffees per day.
When my bun newly arrived and went to market, she asked me "can I buy coffee?" I replied, " Sure, but pay by your own." I even told her my ex-helper used to buy Nestle and balaba..... Then she would not dare to ask me to buy her anything anymore. Thus, sometimes employers should say "no" or otherwise the helpers would keep on testing your bottom line by keeping on requesting this or that. Sometimes, I will buy her snacks and drinks (not on regularly basis) and she will be very happy as it is out of her expectation.
