...but more importantly...why are you FB friends with your maid?! Lol! Nope - I'm not FB friends with her but I very occasionally check on her public profile.. and this was uploaded while I was on holiday.. I am actually FB friends with my ex maid but I must say that I don't like it when she posts pictures of the children that she is looking after.. I won't want my children's pictures on anyone's FB page.. ^^ yeah, this. The reason(s) why this would bother most parents is probably something the maid can't even conceptualize. In her mind, she is likely just sharing her work and the children she adores. This is why you need to have these kind of conversations with staff that come from cultures where oversharing on social media is the norm. I've learned you can't take it for granted that someone operates on a similar bandwidth to you beyond basic respect. I did sit down with my maid and explained to her in general why I don't mind she taking pictures in the house but she must make sure that my privacy is also taken in consideration. I also mentioned that she shouldn't take pictures of my children and put them on her FB (which she hasn't done). She understood and agreed with what I said. But the next thing I know, she has taken off her FB account. I felt bad :o(

All I can say is, having a maid is like having another child. They are either naive and you have to teach them everything or like a rebellious teenager, or naughty and must be kept a close eye on, the list goes on and on. I wish we had family close by so we didnt need the "support" a maid provides. Thank God I dont deal with most of these things (like asking for loans, FB pics, stealing etc) but I have my fair share of frustrations like every one of us do. What to do hey! Totally agree with you.... and I also wish that we had family close by... :o(

The maid topic again brings back memories of such awkward instances lol. How about her wearing my prized shoes and watch and posing on facebook? That too a cover photo. I had not befriended her but yes I would keep a check on her public profile. Red racy lingerie mixed in our laundry, nice. A man calling saying could you send her over I'm her husband while she said her husband died. Asking my child to wriggle that butt..... Sooo happy she's not in my house anymore. I don't have appetite for that much wierdness lol. OMG - that is bad.... :o(

When you mean s3xy - how exactly. It could be simply suggestive or quite vulgar. As long as she is not swinging from your chandelier, or dressed in your bathing suit posing up in your master suite bed, then I'd just let it go. The trend seems to be a fish face pouting selfie best executed in the privacy of ones' home (hopefully) and as she lives with you, its home for her for the time being... Where else is she going to take pics? It looks suggestive and I don't mind that she is taking pictures in the house but our framed pictures are also in her picture... I'll bet she is running a brothel out of your house when you aren't there ... maybe you should ask your neighbors if they saw strange men coming to your house when you were on holiday??? I'm not sure if you are joking but I know of someone whose maid actually was doing this when my friend went on vacation. Strange men were in and out of the house...

I was more concerned of her outfit and of our framed pictures which were captured in her picture as well. Understandable. Now I am just being nosy....what kind of outfit are we talking?? Hahahaha - T-shirt is kinda of tight figure hugging and showing her belly and her shorts are pretty short.. and it looks like she is standing on my sofa while she tried to take the picture :o)

Where else is she going to take pics? It looks suggestive and I don't mind that she is taking pictures in the house but our framed pictures are also in her picture... I don't think you should go as far as letting her go, just yet. Perhaps just sit her down, have a word, say how you're NOT comfortable with images that reveal your home and your private belongings that are posted on her social media pages. Give her a warning, too, especially with privacy laws in this country! Then, I guess, if it happens again - strike two, and a third time? That's when you could seriously start thinking about letting her go. Heya I was not talking about letting her go -- I was wondering if I should talk to her or just let this matter go for now.. :o) I think I will have to talk to her. Thanks for your advice. Sorry! Read your original post wrong.... :/ Anyway! Like I said... I don't think a lot of ladies would feel comfortable with it either. edited by roberts on 05/11/2014 No problem :o)

When I first read this, my initial thought was why would you care if she was posting a sexy picture of herself on facebook...or what she is posting on facebook for that matter? Isn't that what most people do on facebook? Look at me, don't I look nice, or look at me and where I am? I don't know that I would want to be friends with my maid on facebook; when I had an account I didn't even friend co-workers. But on second thought, I am a very private person. I wouldn't want someone posting pictures of my home on facebook, or god forbid-- checking in, announcing my exact address to cyberworld. I've had a guest do that and I was ticked off. A friend of mine in another country actually fired his houseboy for taking photos of his entire house and contents and posting them on facebook, which I feel was justified, as they had a strict understanding of this, and theft/home invasions was a real threat for him. If this is your worry, a privacy issue, let her know what your expectations are. I was more concerned of her outfit and of our framed pictures which were captured in her picture as well.

Sorry to hear abt your situation. My ex-maid borrowed money from us even before she started. She called me and cried on the phone and told us her son needed to go for an emergency operation. If not he will die, and can we please loan her the money. That was before she started. We felt bad and we loaned her the money and we deducted the money in installments. The 2nd month her aunt who was taking care of her son was murdered when she went to the money transfer to collect the money that my ex-maid had sent. My ex maid needed the money for her funeral. We also lent her the money and she was paying us back in installments. In the middle of her contract, we thought that she would like to go and visit her son while we were on a holiday. She again borrowed money for that. When her attitude changed after she came back from her holiday, we didn’t want to continue with her employment. So when she left, she stole my jewelry and clothes. In addition to that, she borrowed money from the maids in the neighbourhood and told them that we never paid her salary for 5 to 6 months and if we paid her the salary we only gave her a small fraction of it!!! My advice is please put a firm stop to the lending if not it would never stop and have your valuables safely stored.
