We sent her off

It was disaster waiting to happen.

She boils water in the kettle and lets the cable touch the kettle.

She leaves the iron on when I call her.. When asked, she says, "Ibu panggil.."

She leaves the gate and doors open.. and if she does lock them, she leave the keys on the door/gate.

She doesn’t care what we ask her to do. She does it her way.

The day before she left..

I found a knife in the children’s changing room.. left on top of their clothes cabinet. A gentle knock on the cabinet and the knife would fall on the person. I was worried of that person being one of my sons..

I asked he to sit down and showed her what not to put in Aaron's play basket. Without looking she said she knows. I got really mad. She insisted she knows. Irritated, I told her to continue her work. I sat down to check and clean the toy basket which she had dumped some small toy pieces. The next day, she arranges the brother's small toys into Aaron's basket again!

But what triggered us even more is her stubbornness! The next day..

She was giving Nixon. He told her that the water is hot and went on saying it’s not! I tested the water and say that it was hot. I asked her why didn’t she feel it first. She goes on to say it’s not hot. Okay, may be her skin is hard, but why can’t she just listen to the child?! Arrghh!

That’s it. We sent her off the very same day! She was with us for just 3 weeks, but each and everyday that we had her was hell.
