Sit down and have a chat with her, maybe she is having a few personaal problems, and no one to share them with. Many maids are married with family, its not easy for them being so far away from home...If its out of character for her, their must be something bothering her...in8mom wrote:Are your maids ever late on their days off? Do they not complete tasks? How do you handle these situations? I am unsure what is fair-- especially when our maid is generally very good.
Thanks in advance for your kind advice.

You forgot to add the scorching with the iron, smacking with the spatula and jabbing with the forks that the locals also use to instill discipline in the slaves.QRM wrote: OR do the discipline the local way, Yell and scream at her like a baying hyena, and lock her in the house for 6 months

The FDW employment contract states exactly what time she can leave and return on the day off. The FDW is well aware of it and agreed to it when she starts.gowrip wrote:<<What>>
so, what exactly is your question?
FYI, she is human just like you are. Considering she gets lot less time off than you probably do, why don't you just show some patience with her? I don't exactly think you come home exactly on time when you have a day off after six days of hard work... then again, you probably don't know what that means... do you?
When I first arrived here I was stunned at the attitude of the locals, locking maids in the house, no days off etc. and unbelievably our very first maid got pregnant when we did let her out and we got fined!!gowrip wrote:
she is an adult - you have conversations with adults. she is not a little kid or a dog to "discipline".
Hmm, QRM, I always thought you were a great person around these forums. I used to like your positive comments around here.QRM wrote: ...Our helper in London has been with us for 11 years, and even though we have not been back for 5 years we still employ her.... if you weren’t so trigger happy, and you read my post, in between the smoke from your barrels you will see my concern is how easy this obliviously unhinged person can get a new job with some unsuspecting family. Just as well it was not your car she was jumping on....
You would be sick to your stomach if anything happed to your friends or family who end up with her. You should weep for their future not mine.
