Well, I DON'T have a maid, as I DON'T believe in the NEED for a
maid.
These days, maids can be rather unpredictable and dangerous.
Agencies are "importing" maids from all over Asia regardless of
their mental state of minds. There maids that can go crazy in your
home over small little issues and kill a member of your
family!
I do my own domestic chores. If I'm too busy, or tired, I just call
for one of those home-keeping services - really professional, they
clean up and tidy up your place and leave with very little
fuss.
People are having maids like they have pet poodle dogs, parading
their maid wherever they go, showing off by ordering them to carry
things in shoping centers - tsk tsk tsk, so friggin unbecoming of
Singaporeans.. what I can't stand are people who get their maids to
wash and clean up their cheapo Japanese cars in carparks at HDB
estates. And even if they do own a branded luxury car, they should
do the washing and cleaning themsleves - have you ever seen how
maids wash and wipe down cars? In no time, you'll get swirls of
micro-scratches on your car's paintwork!
