My experiernce with a maid I hired locally wasn't good either and taught me a lesson, the more we give in the more they ask for. She was with us for 3 weeks, the first week, and each time close to the weekend, she wanted normal things brush, paste, shampoo, soap etc.. which we can understand are basic needs and then she said she feels her sugar level is getting high so what's to go on a check up, for testing sugar and cholestrol, the doctor said she is fine .. and no issues. Few days later she says again the sugar is high since she is feeling very thirsty and would not eat rice and need khuboos, also we agreed. then she need a hala card for 10 riyals which she claims shop downstairs is not having so we have to get it for her.. then each day the list got bigger, low fat milk, yougurt... then the 3 week she says she is feeling pain in the throat and goes to the doctor again, claiming a fever of 104.0F, (I don't believe), then says the doctor said she should drink mineral water only.
She had drivers who took her out on weekend, so we didn't have to take her to the doctor.
Since I am pregnant she know that we need a maid, but all this was okay with me unless she made an unwanted comment on my daughter and told her very firmly that comment was uncalled for and she said we can look for another maid. I told her cooly, we are fine with that. She didn't expect me to say and I was really not in a mind to keep her with us anymore.
