Hi Cellow,
Thanks for your concern. I don't have MIL, only a whiny and naggy FIL who sweats like a pig after playing and carrying my gal for less than an hour. No way he will agree (or I will agree!!!) to take care of my children while me and hb go holiday. Nevermind, what will be will be. Like you tell me, it is God's blessing for us to have kids, so I won't begrudge my little ones for the lost chance to travel (hmm... maybe force them to sponsor me next time when they start working? Hee...)
Oh, abt the new maid har, haiz.... she just ganna her 1st warning from my mom after working 3 weeks for us. She doesn't know how to be independent after we briefed her on her daily schedule and doesn't know how to cook unless under supervision. Overall, i feel she will have a better fit in a family where the Employer is very hands-on and wants everything to be done her way, not so ideal in my household where we expect our maid to be more independent after awhile.
Hi 1sttimepapa,
If your maid intends to go back to Agency in the end, would you be so kind to PM me to inform me? I would like to employ a maid who has experience taking care of young child. End-Aug is fine with me as I am due end-oct or early nov, so still got time to train. But of course that being said, I hope that she will stay with your family in the end as it is really hard to find good help nowsadays.
