jas,
congrats!!! so happy for u, so u hope for a prince this time?? =P i'm sherv's mummy leh...
racoon,
TANTRUM/EMOTIONAL
sherv also very emotional these days, i dunno the cause.. at first i thot giving in to her will help due to her cough, but i realised we're getting more n more nonsense from her everyday! she continues her stunt into the nite... just last nite, i woke up 4 or 5 times from midnite to 5am! almost every hourly ok, luckily i retired into the room earlier at 9plus but only managed to sleep abt 11plus... so at least, i'm not tired today.
now i know why my mom told me tat she only sleeps ONE hr everyday! and i shared the room with them ystday, and experienced it myself! i will continue to share the room with them for another 2 days since my hubby is not in town. and i will try to stop sherv from throwing tantrum at nite. coz sherv is afraid of me, and she will cry if i threaten to smack her. i hv no choice but to instill fear in her to stop her routine nonsense at nite.
i cant imagine if she carries on this even when DiDi is out.
just this morning,
1- she ordered my sis not to leave the hse(for work) and kept crying!
2- then when i woke up, she ordered me to go back to the room and sit on the bed! i told her i need to work, then she cried n screamed!
3- then i went to the living room, she ordered me to sit on the sofa, but i went to the kitchen, then she cried n screamed!
4- she doesnt allow me to go n brush my teeth, i went ahead, then she cried n screamed!
piyo,
ur maid sounds like those typical "kampung" maid, and it's equally hard to accomodate them and for them to adjust themselves here... u might wanna consider changing her b4 u n hubby find out more of her secret stunts! think she belongs to those "no common sense" category, i dun mean to insult her here. but there are real cases of them dunno abt hygience, danger, consequences...etc.
and u hv an infant now, think it's impt for your helper to hv a clear state of mind to think n help u out. sometimes it's not abt giving them time and chances to learn n improve, some maids just come here to experience LIFE n find out wat's OUTSIDE their "world". alot of them just CANNOT adjust to city life no matter how long, u noe wat i mean?
i hope u dun feel tat we're scaring u, but just sharing our thots n experience here... we dun hv to learn from our own mistakes everytime, it's good to learn from others. =P
