I bet you are the benchmark of a Jumeirah Jane...People like you are what has screwed Dubai up. Go back to Asda's love.

i have a question,

Can I let my maid sit on my sofa when she is not working, or does she need to stay in the cupboard under the stairs?

We had a maid for around two years when my son was smaller just to help with the housework etc and whilst we didn't have a pool we took her to Wild Wadi a number of times with my son and she was with us around half the time we went to the mall or park with the little man...she was more a family friend or helper than maid really.

That said my son is half-Filipino so the maid in question was a family friend from back in the Philippines and we had no issues with her. I don't think I could hire someone we don't know or who doesn't come with a personal reference.

what would be a reason not to...

you say 'she hasn't asked yet', hey maybe you can be proactive and actually tell her she can go in if she wants to...
you trust her with all your stuff around the house, maybe even let her take care of your kids...yet you are not sure if you will let her use your pool...

Some of the answers have made my day, they are so funny, is the OP asking the question seriously though? Feel like starting a thread "Would you let the your maid"...............eat in the same room...............eat at the same time as you...................watch the TV............listen to your music................use the same bathroom as the family................have a coffee with you when you take her to carry the shopping....................shag your husband when you can't be bothered....................use the same crockery.................have a lie in on her days off....................come in after 10pm

How dare they, how dare they.

I agree also, expatwoman will generate around 400 more pages of technical, social, criminal, legal and Arab culture discussion on this topic than this board will.
She is probably banned from that board.

Is there such a thing as "the Norm" other than the one that posts on here, surely it is what you and/or your family are happy with. Why follow the pack?
