We...I also agreed with you but to some extend only. We used to have a permanent Indon maid. She was our first maid too. We try to treat her like a family member, and even allowed her to watch TV..and not ask her to eat leftover food. However, she personnaly made it like she do not belongs to the family (this could also be due to the maid agency who warned them what could be done and what could not be done). She would only eat after we finished our meal, though we told her not necessarily. <BR/>However, letting her to watch TV is one mistake cos she ended up watching TV more than doing work.<BR/>So...for those with maid, do not overwork her but also do not pamper her too much. Make some balance.JThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00052338581351854979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26623129.post-1160103243282278012006-10-06T10:54:00.000+08:002006-10-06T10:54:00.000+08:00I have pple coming over to my house for hari raya ...I have pple coming over to my house for hari raya over the years and they would bring their maids along.<BR/><BR/>It is customary that we give a feast to everyone who comes, so we'd serve the food in the kitchen and invite them to eat.<BR/><BR/>Some would ask their maid to join them. But there have been others who told the maids (in an authoritative and rude manner) to wait in the living room for them to finish eating, and it only after that that they were allowed to eat.<BR/><BR/>And when they do, they were also rushed.<BR/><BR/>My family however, treats our maid like family. We make sure she joins us at the dinner table and buy her nice things when the festive season comes. Like you said, they are humans too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26623129.post-1160099625831487282006-10-06T09:53:00.000+08:002006-10-06T09:53:00.000+08:00Very good point.
