smurfy,
You don't intend to teach your maid how to cook? My maid doesn't know how to cook Chinese stuff, but now after 2 weeks, she can cook simple yong tau foo macaroni/noodles for lunch and steamed fish/chicken and fried veges for dinner.
Yeah, Soph is getting manipulative in her emotional tactics! But luckily I didn't let it upset me yesterday - "ren" during the whole time she was kissing maid, then only later then got my mum to tell maid no kissing!
My hubby is not really possessive type, but he doesn't like kids getting too close to the maid, and definitely doesn't like Soph playing such emotional games at such a young age.
He is 80% leaning towards not wanting a maid anymore, but I told him I feel bad leh, if we let the maid go now... cos then she will become a transfer maid? Then no good for her records right?
For moms cooking tingkat, 1 portion is good enough for 2. I ordered 1 portion for both my MIL and I for a 10-day trial at $200.
Catz,
I think buffetparadize no longer does its usual mass (cheaper version) tingkat i.e. they only have momscooking.com.sg now.
I tried it the last time during 1st tri - food is decent, and really no processed food like sardines or luncheon meat, but expensive. But I also ended up breaking out in the rash once I ate the tingkat... dunno why, maybe my body is just very sensitive to some of their sauces.
Re. kissing: I tried telling maid, but think she doesn't understand English. So yesterday at my mum's place, my mum told her in Bahasa, and she more or less got the idea. Think she had a scary time at my mum's place yesterday, cos she was just watching TV and not watching the kids. At my home, she doesn't need to watch the kids cos she does housework, but when she goes to my mum's place, she doesn't need to do any housework or cooking, so she is expected to just watch over the 3 kids (inclu my 2 nephews). Hee, my nephews were fighting and holding stools over their heads to hit each other already - they were right in front of her and she was just watching TV... in the end, got a earful from my mum! Still need time to be auto. Today she used the ladder and cleaned my aircon units without me asking though
Your poor kids! Heard nebuliser can be quite traumatizing for young kids? My neighbour's ds now screams and cry whenever he sees it.
Soph was almost put on it once, when she had that near bout of pneumonia. But this chicken of a mommy doesn't dare to use it and so begged the PD not to prescribe it... then just dosed her with the supplements and oral medication and then prayed for a quick recovery.
Charis,
Thanks in advance for the trial class
Yeah, think you told me about yur friend with 8 kids! Amazing, isn't she?
What kind of quick-cooking lunch do you cook?
