Maid mayhem

You know how troublesome it is to have one maid right? I mean for those out there yg ada maid la kan..

My household has 3...3 freaking maids..

I have a headache just thinking about it..

3 times the madness, the times the female hormone and ego..3 times the trouble..

With a household this size 1 maid is not enough..2 would be..but with Airiel around, we need 1 more maid to take care of Airiel.

3 maids..aduhaii..

1 maid demands that she has every weekend off and we actually have to send her (drive her and pick her up) to Kerinchi where she has a house with a couple of friends. Worse is that I think she has been seeing a bomoh to have some kind of spell to control her employers...aka me, atuk, nenda, akmal and bonda. Tahyul betulla maid aku yg sorang ni. She is the main caretaker of the house and cooks (explains the spells and whatnot).

1 maid is ok but she is from Lombok..so she is very kasar. Cakap kasar, pegang barang dgn kasar, semua kasar. Verdict? Langsir rosak, kabinet tercabut, pinggan pecah.. aiyoyo....dahla tu..recently I think she got herself a boyfriend..so skrang tgh diawang-awangan la plak...gayut telepon malam malam buta....Sigh. She is Airiel's main caretaker, to only whom she behaves with love and care (thank God !!!)

The other maid was the one that ran away and came back remember? You can read about that from this post.She was apparently from a previously rich family who got into gambling debts. So she had to come here and work. Verdict on this one? She does not how to cook, tidy or pretty much do anything. She complains about the littlest things and is very fragile. She is Akmal's main caretaker and Akmal is very attached to her.

And can you imagine trying to get these 3 maids to get along? It's a proverbial hornet's nest, with 3 different queen hornets or something equivalent to that.

I am so sick of it, frankly.

It seems like they have the run of the house because bonda lives seperately in Kuala Selangor and visits sometimes aje. Me and Nenda are working and keluar pagi and balik malam. Atuk sibuk dgn kerja politik. Akmal insan istimewa so what much can she do. Airiel..well, lets not even go there.

Sheeshhh..apa kes laaaaa

  2. ohh man.. i cannot imagine how they do their work without your presence. mesti gaduh tahap gaban..

    problem with many maids working in a house, its either they fight among themselves or they gossip too much smpi tak buat kerja..
