Thanks for all the advice.
She's only been with me since mid-Dec...she's a transfer maid...claims that last employers twin boys were very wild and abused her.
I'm home most of the time and when I'm not home, my husband is. But like I said, there are pockets of time in the day when I try to get Jesse to nap. And she knows that takes at least 1 hour if not 2. So today, I really cannot stay behind closed doors trying to put Jesse to sleep. Boh pian, every 5 minutes come out and check on her. Then, now poor Jesse cannot sleep...no choice but to let him cry himself to sleep...hopefully. This morning, he cried for 1 hour and didn't sleep.
PGal,
How are you coping without a maid. Actually, i just want to send her back also but husband wonders how I can cope without a maid esp since Jesse is mobile now. I looked after him alone (no maid) since he was born until mid-Dec. But he's really fast now and it's hard to even go to the bathroom for a bit.
HB thinks maybe we should change maid. But really, I don't wish another employer to sway sway kenna her. I'd rather pay more and send her back.
Ya, this maid is not paid little (for a maid lah). $360 per month, no off days. BUT, she wants to go out...since only 3 months, I haven't let her go out lah. Except yesterday. Big mistake. But normally when we go out, I'll let her walk around by herself and I'll take care of Jesse and carry him around on my own. Thought be nice to her, give her some space. Right. Now I can't even relax in my own home.
Some more, she has a lot of free time, so let her read the books on my book shelf and also she can read the newspapers. But then I realise, at the end of the day, the only person who has had time to read that day's papers is her, not my husband or myself! So in between trying to get Jesse to sleep just now, I told her she's not allowed to read the newspaper or touch any of my books anymore.
She likes music, so we got her a radio clock and I told her she can listen to it at night. Her day ends at 8:30pm...she'll listen until 10pm then go to bed. Then last week, she even brought the radio clock to the kitchen to listen to when she's doing her work. I immediately told her not to do it. Now I'm thinking...she wants to listen to music, she can jolly well buy her own batteries for it.
I know, it's sounds bad and I've gone postal! haha. But wah, already she's not the cleanest worker, her food hygiene is terrible...all can sort of close one eye, but this is too much for me...all the lying etc have really gotten to me.
I'm just giving myself one week to think it through lah. Maybe all this is just emotional talk so trying to let myself calm down first (try to sleep at night first) then see how.
Another long rant post. SO sorry...really need to get it out.

Shirley: Kindermusik is in Tanglin mall. Location quite out of the way lor. Since we boh car, we usually take cab to and pub transport (bus->mrt) back. Lesson consists of mostly music movements w mama/papa carrying baby to do stuff to the music. Sometimes we will be given props like musical instruments (drums, bells, blocks, castanets, woodblocks etc) to make some rythmic taps.
For lele, he enjoys the freedom and interaction w other babies and mummies/daddies. Cos the room is pretty big w carpetted floor so he is allowed to explore w/out us chasing after him. We also got some ideas of playing w lele from the lesson.
For me I like that lesson is well structured, and class size kept small (12per class) The instructor is also quite able to engage the kids.

shirley: I agree must let babies mingle w other people so that they will be more receptive to new faces. I think just bringing to places w/out interaction is not the same as actually interacting cos baby is still "safe" in the protection of caregivers. But thru interaction they learn some social skills lor... Anyway just my own opinion la.

Augleo,
Need to raid my hubby's phone tonight and post the pics i think are decent.
Tomato Recipe:
Can cook the ABC pasta separately, boil the skinless tomatoes and mash it while putting it to boil. Add some minced pork or green veg and mix the pasta in. bbO tried this on Saturday and ate everything =)
Alternatively boil soup- chicken drumstick, tomato, carrots and potato. All the essence of the ingredients will be in the soup. Add in pasta or mee sua.
