Both parties just have to be be as open as they can be in order to communicate better. As hard as it may actually be..

LOL. That's really the crappy part of hiring a maid I guess!

True that. I'm just mindful of the horror stories I've read about maids kicking up a big big fuss on the way to the airport if they even make it onto the taxi.

All the best bro. Hope you do the right thing. Life is short so do what you can so you can sleep easy at night.

Best to send your child away to infantcare/playgroup and not rely on the maid to take care of your child. I’m glad that you have at least gotten the hard part out of the way – having MIL stay away, especially since it is such a big source of frustration for you.

Sounds like you may want to consider working out with the agency how to send her back – assuming the agency is not communicating with the maid on the backend! I would think the agency would be most happy to arrange for a subsequent employer since they get to earn another round of fees. There is...

IMO no normal colleagues would say such things to each other, let alone reciprocate if there is really nothing else going on. Best to continue talking about it with him otherwise what you keep within you may fester into something much worse in the future.

Dude the alarm bells should be going through your head right now. You really need to consider whether she is the right one for you, or even the right person to be the mother to your child.

MY World Preschool. New entry on the ECDA list. Opening in August - October later this year..

Kinda surprised to read about Caelum Junior's lapses. Any one else who has differing views? I'm considering my options as we may be moving in to McNair Road next June. I saw that most walkable options seem to be full already so I have to look a bit further I guess..

Be very clear where the line should be drawn so that he is no doubt in the future when he even ponders about using force.

Gotta let time heal the wounds if you choose to forgive him. It wont be an easy process.. Only you will know how truthful and sincere he is or whether he is just a really good actor.

Good on you! Gotta take the good with the bad... Boh bian.

@Shfqh - please keep us posted on her progress. Good to visit a PD just to clear things up in case there's something more serious that the lack of weight is indicating.

+1 for what shoppixe said. There will be bound to be differences in beliefs between mom and the older generation. They will naturally revert to what they tried and tested or heard from everyone during their time.

I'm interested to check out some enrichment classes too. It's time to join the race!

Glad you made the decision. Better late than never!

@cheekybebe - Ultimately it depends on your own gut. That is the best gauge on whether you should give in to her. Looking at the direction in which your comments on your maid is headed, I am guessing you did not even want to increase her salary to begin with. Lol..

Agreed. @TS - do think about taking a break. You are not in this whole thing alone. Try to tap into your support group, be it fellow moms, family, relatives or friends. You would be surprised at how happy people are willing to help!

I guess you can start off with Kiddy Palace? There are the real plain rompers and tshirts which cost about $4-6 each. Once you are more comfortable with the sizing, you can consider buying them off Taobao, assuming you can read Chinese characters easily.
