Just need to rant about how stupid my maid is. We are middle of moving house and I asked her to pack all the clothes in the house except for 3 days worth of clothes and to come with the driver to meet me at the new house. I confirmed with her 3 times that she understood the instructions. What did she arrive in the new house with? Yup, 3 days worth of clothes instead of all the clothes minus 3 days. Omfg. Even if she misunderstood or was confused wouldn't common sense dictate that we would bring most of the clothes to the New house and not leave it in the old house, which we have to leave on Friday? And she is aware that we are leaving the old house on Friday. Sigh.

I'll always try to pass on my instructions the way they would understand (eg: with a rationale, simplier english, hand gestures etc...) Asking them to write down or explain instructions back is a good way to know if they understood. It's really not nice to call anyone stupid. Like the above response, I had to read your post multiple times to understand what you were trying to convey. And we are not stupid.
