The maid gave birth, the whole family became housekeepers to take care of the mother.

A family living in Hsinchu City, Taiwan (China), attracted the attention of the online community when sharing the story of their family's maid. The Indonesian maid was hired to take care of the homeowner's grandmother. She had worked for this family for 5 months.

On September 11, the woman went into labor and gave birth to a healthy baby at the homeowner's home.

Before that, the whole family of the housekeeper had no idea that the maid was pregnant. The woman had always worn loose clothes so they did not notice anything unusual. Before going to work in Taiwan (China), the woman had undergone a health check, but the records did not record that she was pregnant.

It is likely that the woman forged her medical records. After the foreign maid gave birth, the whole family had to take turns caring for the old woman, the mother, and the newborn child.

According to regulations in Taiwan (China), if an employer fires a pregnant worker or a worker who has just given birth, he will be fined 1.5 million NTD (equivalent to more than 1.1 billion VND) and lose the right to hire new workers for 2 years. Therefore, the landlord is in a very difficult situation.

According to local media, after receiving the complaint, the International Association of Domestic Workers and Families in Taiwan (China) has accepted the case and will support the female maid.

The woman said the child’s biological father lives in Indonesia. She wants to send the child back to the biological father to care for while she stays and works for her current family. The association confirmed that it will support the maid to fulfill her wish.

Information about the incident sparked great debate in Taiwanese (Chinese) public opinion because the unlucky party, facing all sorts of tiring problems, was the host family.

"I agree with the regulation that employers are not allowed to fire female employees who are pregnant or have just given birth, but in this specific case, I think the most pitiful party is this unjust landlord," commented a netizen.
