I would like to share my recently (Feb 14) bad confinement experience with a bad confinement lady with everyone so that you can avoid this CL in the future. Her fees was RM3900 plus RM300 ang pow. Amount of ang pow was mentioned before I hired her. I delivered 5 weeks early and coincide with CNY and she asked for additional RM600. I agreed. In total I paid her RM4800 for her confinement service. I extended her for another 2 more weeks and paid her another RM600. I paid RM5400 for one and half month service. Her problems are:

1. She STEALS. I realized after she left that she has stolen my gold bullion (10g). I estimated that it cost around RM1500 with today gold price.

2. She doesn't know how to cook basic confinement food! She doesn't know how to cook chicken in rice wine and pork's trotter in vinegar. She liked to debone the chicken and cooked it with salt and rice wine. She will fried the ginger and put on the chicken after chicken was cooked. This is her way to cook chicken with rice wine! She cooked pork's trotter vinegar with lots of water and the vinegar was tasteless! She can't even cook rice properly. Rice was as hard as stone! I reminded her to add more water but she ignored me because she like to eat her rice hard.

3. She burned my non stick wok. I told her not to turn on the heat on the induction cooker to the maximum, she ignored me. The wok cost me RM300. She also scratched the surface of my induction cooker. She is a very rough person. She spoiled my double boiler. I have been using it for more than 10 years and she has broken it after using it for a month! She almost broken my water filter. She turn the water to the maximum when using the filter and the pressure was too strong until the tap was leaking! Maybe it wasn't her wok and cooker so she never bother to look after it. She has no sense of responsibility. When I told her off she said she is used to turning everything to the maximum!! What an excuse.

4. She never bother to clean the kitchen after cooking. I have to clean after her every night! I washed the kitchen sink and pick up bits of food after she has gone to bed. I cleaned the induction cooker because she have drops of oil and sauce on the cooker after cooking! I have to clean the kitchen during my confinement when I wasn't suppose to wet my hand too much. Overall she is not a very hygenic person. Sometimes she saw me cleaning but she didn't bother to help because her eyes were glue to the tv. She always turn on the tv even when she was cooking in the kitchen. She watched tv when she was cooking!

5. She didn't bath and clean baby properly. After she left when I was bathing baby myself that I notice the fold at baby neck was smelly and red! There was some white thing inside the fold too. She didn't clean behind baby ear too. It was so smelly and all red too!

6. She didn't know that I can't eat ginger if my baby has jaundice. I told her to omit ginger from my food but she insisted that it is ok. I got so pissed off and told her sternly that I can't have ginger if I am breast feeding my baby! And she didn't know that a breast feeding mother can't have alcohol too. Just before I want to breast feed my baby she pour some DOM into my chicken essence for me to drink!

She pretended to know everything but in fact she doesn't know anything! Luckily this is my second baby and have experience with confinement rules and pantang.

I really don't mind about the weaknesses as long as she is hardworking but I am angry and mad and betrayed that she has stolen my gold bullion! I trusted her and treated her as a family member. It didn't cost much but it was a gift to my eldest son from my aunt. She liked to open all my kitchen compartment and check my things. She is a very nosy person. Always checking what you have.

A relative actually introduced me to this CL. The introducer name is Joean Tai from Seremban. She received RM300 as introduction fees. The CL name is Kam Ying (Ying 女且) also from Rembau, Seremban. Her number 016 *745617. She mentioned that she was divorced after 2 years of marriage and have 2 children in their 40's. She said she is 68 years old. Please beware of her.

You can't manage without them but their present make your life miserable.
