Yaya Problems

If some of you might remember, I posted some entries here and on my other blog about my rantings for my yaya.

This time she really gets on my nerves. Why you may ask?

• I found out from my grandmother that they had an argument two days ago and she answered back. None of us ever answers back to my grandmother and so I was really mad that she (who is not even part of our family) will do that to my grandmother
• If I ask her to do something and she doesn’t want to do it, she will make up tons and tons of reasons so she doesn’t have to do it. Like I was asking her to buy me cheeseburger. She answered the store is too far, or that it’s already late and the store is already close.
• I found out from my mom that she usually shouts at Bela when she’s already irritated with her. My mom will just say “Ate Cris, don’t shout at me. Talk to me nicely please.” And then yesterday, she was taking a nap and Bela asked her to look for her giraffe. She answered “Tinatago mo, tapos ngayon hahanapin mo. Haller.” (You’re hiding it and now you will look for it. Haller). OMG, I can’t believe she talks to my daughter that way.
• She always sleeps late because she always watches PBB. And so she wakes up late too in the morning and breakfast is not yet ready and we are late for work.
• Yesterday, I was tired after Bela’s field trip. So I was looking forward to taking a nap after eating lunch. And lo and behold, she’s sleeping so I have to take care of Bela. My mom said that she do this everyday.

My list can go on and on and the more I think about it the more irritated I become. We didn’t let her go the first time because out of all the yayas that we had, she is really the most efficient. But it looks like she is so at home now that she doesn’t even know her limits and she doesn’t even know how to show respect. There are times, when she has tantrums, you can she her making faces and “nagdadabog.” I told my mom, I too get irritated at work but I never show disrespect to my boss. Maybe she feels that we really need her and so she is confident that no matter what she does, we won’t ask her to leave.

So I think it’s really time to let go off her now. My only problem is, how do I do it? How do I tell her that I want her to leave? I have never done this before so I really don’t know how to tell her. Of course, no matter how irritated I am with her, I still would want to let her go in a nice way. Any suggestions?
