although i am not affected by the pay rise, because i got one before it was implemented. But i think it is not justified because we have to do majority of the training and puke tonnes of blood to enable us to survive with them in our house. it's plain initiate, common sense and manners that they dun have and is difficult to teach cos we dun speak the same language. I drop things, my frens help me to pick up. my maid stand aside and watch. she push pram, she go her direction in her speed and dun care about you. i have to wait of look for her. she go pass a door or into a lift, dun even bother to press the lift buttons or at least hold a door and wait for you to go in. she carries the baby expects you to deal with the pram and all the barang. when i went to see my gynae, she sits down and reads magazine and my hubby got to change baby's diapers.everyday the milk got problem, either scalding hot or cold.when me or my hubby carrying our girl or pushing her pram or bathing her, she wants to take over when we say she shud just go and do other stuff llike household chore. though not her core duty, but if we are looking after our girl, she shud be doing other things.haiz... was nice enough to give her a chance cos when agent ask her if she want to transfer she say she want to work for me.Now pay rise and i dun think they're worth it, so die die stuck with her.
