Hello guys,

Pinoy expat here, I hired a pinay maid about 3 years ago mainly to help look after my child and to maintain my house.

Recently, napansin ko na she has started talking back at me which she didn’t do before. She’s been keeping herself distant and always murmurs things around me which I sometimes not understand and nagdadabog. Nagiging bastos na siya around me kumbaga.

Parehas kami na Ilocano and from the same province, I treat her as part of my family and all travels talagang kasama siya. Nag Japan, China, Portugal and 5 times na uwi sa pinas kasama siya.

Im not good with confrontations. Ang ugali ko is kung sinabi ko, gagawin ko at sobrang matalim ang dila ko kaya ayaw din ng partner ko na makipag away sakin. I’ll try my best to approach this level headed.

Anyone experienced this before? Any tips on how to manage the situation?
