Helper available

[provence]

HappyV, I do not care what my helpers wear during their rest days and holidays. But my previous indonesian helper wore tank top and short during her working hours. She also got herself pregnant by a married caucasian man, while she herself is married with her husband and daughter in her home country.
As mentioned in my posting earlier, I commented MY PERSONAL experiences with indonesian helpers had been bad. Not all indonesian helpers are bad.

What you are describing is not much different (apart from $$) in how many tai tais dress at Pacific Place.

As you point out, what they do on their own time is their business.

Provence - perhaps you are not aquainted with the concept that the way one dresses is not necessarily linked to morals or standards of behaviour. In your particular case, you maid may have caused you inconvenience, and I understand the frustration - but to take that frustration into a generalist remark about women from a certain race would not usually be considered socially acceptable.

"In my experience" is a term which has the function of using specific situations to make a general point. You said you were fed up with Indonesian helpers, as (in your experience and that of your in-laws) they 'all' steal, lie and dress/behave indecently, and therefore you wanted a Phillipinna. This is an example of discriminating on the basis of race: if you don;t like what it is called, then don;t do it, (or at least don;t talk about it in a semi-public forum)

I?m happy to report that the helper we were trying to assist has found a job with a local family in Pok Fu Lam.

Thaks you to all who took the trouble to contact me.

Best regards,
