if your maid asks to vary the houserules by coming home later at 9:00 pm at night on day off and will not do any housework before she leaves home, what will you do?
my bun bun is new and only comes here for eight months. At the beginning she is quite good but recently because she meets some bad peers outside, she had all sorts of special requests such as the two that I posted. For point no 2, I flatly rejected it because i have stated in the houserules and explained all to her when she came and she siged and agreed. The reasons are the same reasons as yours as my home is rather remote from the main roads and so very quiet particularly at night. For point no 1, I tell her that some of the things she must do out of courtesy such as cleaning up the bowls at dinner, cleaning up the toys and tidying up my kids's school bags and prepare them for school next morning, that should be done in the evening after she come back. She normally comes back for dinner with us. She accepted all these.
I recall that last sunday, when I asked why the kitchen cabinet was still greasy after she cleansed. She replied that she had cleansed it but I am a perfectionist. Something that i had heard before. Eventually I recalled that I had seen once in the BK posted mail. You see the impact and influence of peers outside. Learning from the wisdom of other BK moms, I know how to respond. I say I am not a perfectist but a normal person. And a normal person would not expect a kitchen is still greasy after it is cleansed. So she should not use this as any excuse next time but have to clean up the kitchen again at once, to meet my general requirements. Ha that night, the kitchen was 'shinning' when i inspected.
