Fussed over Maid's issue!

Been a month plus since i update my blog... haha... my readers cannot be bothered to come into this website le. Hopefully not! My routine for the past 2months are quite standard, so nothing much to emphasize also, hehe....

But yesterday, i found out something, regarding my helper. She had worked for us for 14 months, and finally she started to show her true pattern. I found out that she bought a handphone and had been msging very often. I saw it a few times, but could not confirmed, until i saw it with my own eyes. I thought she was using the hp which i left it in my room. I had a spare hp which i told her, she can use it to call me or zhenyu if something happened. I also allowed her to sms her friends if she wants. But she got to put it back after she used, so that she won't have the habit to keep using.

I confronted her, and asked her why does she had a hp??? She told me, that she borrowed from her friend, who lives upstairs. I bought her story, and told her that she got to return it, she said ok. Yesterday evening, when zhenyu came back, he acc Princeton at home, while i brought my helper to return the hp. She looked nervous, and said can she return another day. My answer was of course NO. She tried calling her friend, but no answer, i told her no need to call, we are going up now. Her expression gave her away.

Her friend lived on the 14th storey. Is an indian family.. I politely asked the owner, could i talk to their helper, as we wanted to return this hp to her. The male owner was very friendly, and invited us in. He told me that his helper doesn't have any hp, and he felted very puzzled too. He asked his helper Jogi, and clarify with her. She just kept quiet. Just then, my helper said this hp belonged to another friend, which lives a few blocks away. So now the story is, jogi borrowed this hp from a third party, and lend it to my helper. Although the 3 of them knew each other. Loop holes everywhere, and i began to feel frustrated! I told the two of them, WE will go to your another friend's house NOW, and i will clarify with her! Both of them went silence. The male owner was very angry too.... and scolded his helper. I looked at my helper and i asked her : Did u buy this hp? Don't tell one lie to cover another! She then nodded her head.

I apologized to the owner, and thank them for their time. I felt like a clown, making a joke at other people's house, where in the end, is my own helper's fault! I reason out with her, and told her i will not want to see her use the hp. Not even sms... only at nite, where Princeton is asleep, she may free to use. I am really very disappointed with her. Decided not to renew this troublemaker.... haiz.. gona waste $$ and time finding another again. Zhenyu scolded her, until she cried.... haiz.. though he sounded very harsh, anyway she deserved it.

Tmr my helper going for her off day. She is not suppose to have any off days. But she requested for it one month ago, as her neighbour came over spore to work, and tmr is their first off day, they wished to have a reunion chat. I promised her earlier on, and don't wish to break it.

People may think that i am too lenient to my helper... Yes i admit that i don't scold her, alot of things i closed one eyes. I don't wish to be harsh on her, as i understand that, coming all the way here to work, is not easy. And that she might feel lonely and sad. Thats y we treat her well, in terms of food, and i make sure she got enough rest. The most important reason that i cant be too harsh on her, is bcoz i have Princeton at home. What if she acted like one crazy nuts, who felt mistreated, in the end torture my son??? or even kill him??? I can't take the risk, so i rather be nice to her. Hopefully she will appreciate me.

Good helpers are not easy to find. haiz..... i don't expect very good ones, as long as dont tell lies, and take care of my children, complete my housechores, dont make my mum unhappy, can le, haha.
