One thing is she did not actually ask me for more money directly - just that I now pay for all food and toiletries. When I asked how much she would spend on food per week (never mind shampoo etc) she says abut 150 dhs - meaning about 600 dhs per month on food ( I buy rice) out of her 2000 dhs. Now if I give this to her in cash to shop for herself suddenly the salary becomes 2600 per month and this seems a lot. What does everyone else do about food and toiletries.. My maid seems to have developed expensive taste in food - she only likes pork apparently.... And has asked me to buy her Aussie shampoo from e UK which I would bring back for myself!

no - just to clear this up - we are not paying 2 flights per year!!! IT just happened that we let our helper go back twice last year due to the way our holidays fell and her mother was ill.

Our helper moved with us from Abu Dhabi and there most people I knew were paying around the 2000 dhs per month mark - or atleast 1800 dhs. The boyfriend thing was a call on our part as shes been with us for a long time, we have met the person and he is honest, trustworthy etc. I also feel that it is important she is happy as she lives in my house and spends a lot of time with my kids therefore I want to be sure I am being fair without being taken advantage of.
