		<description>I've an Indonesian maid, but live in a community where Filipino maids roam freely. I hate generealisations, but I find Filipino maids very headstrong, and the ones in my community especially nosy! Was asking my maid to polish my car, and my husband's car, and the Filipino maid from next door actually popped her head around and told my maid (right in front of me, mind you!) that if her employer were to ask her to polish the car, she'd leave. And my Indonesian maid was just giggling back at her! I almost lost it in my rage!!! I just told the nosy maid very nicely she was welcome to leave her employer if she so wished - it was none of my business, and told both of them that my Indonesian maid was also free to leave if she did not like the terms of employment with me. The sum I'd lose is peanuts to me, but can the both of them afford to lose the work contract? That really shut the two of them up :P Maybe gentle reminders like that would help you with your maid?</description>

		<description>"do not throw pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." 

Having just been through tremendous heartache with my helper (as you've already known by now), I would say to you.. it's not worth keeping her. The longer you keep her, the longer you prolong your anguish. She's supposed to be helping you with your domestic burden, not adding to it! The sooner you let her go, the better for everyone. Start planning now. I am so much happier these days, than I've ever been in a long while (back when the 9-yr maid was around!)</description>

		<description>Have you consider getting part-time local helpers? They can come in 2-3 times a week to clean the house and if you pay a little extra, they will even handle the cooking for you if you instruct them properly. There's less stress and you don't need to be on the lookout 24/7.</description>

		<description>Ungrateful fella she is! That's one of the reasons why my hubby doesn't want maid, in any form! As though we have not enough of our own daily stresses....with a maid, read stranger in our home, we'll be on guard 24/7....making sure our money, esp small change, are not left lying around, worry about the not-so-smart helpers destroying our clothes by mixing colored and white clothing in the washer, etc etc....and also have to worry what to eat, how and what to feed her.....CRAP!!!

You have been very kind to her! Perhaps give her an ultimatum?</description>
