This is despite telling them time and time again how to do certain things. But I have decided to see the funny side of things instead of being upset and angry at her. But I also have to tell her off so that she learns. This will help her be better at her job and to be a better maid to her future employers. I used to be upset at the way some maids are treated but now that I have a maid myself, I understand the frustration.Bubbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12802443757385573045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33576423.post-10705969770893007992010-09-29T13:21:13.973+08:002010-09-29T13:21:13.973+08:00Yeah I heard!
