Re: Maid
My long story.. My mum is my girl's main caregiver. She's staying with my bro's family and he has 2 girls. My SIL is a SAHM. When I ended my ML, I suggested that they employed a maid & I chip in. So I paid about $100 each month, give my mum $300 on top of the allowance that I give her. So a large part of my pay goes to that commitment. Many times, my mum will grumble when I work late and I get super irriated cos I feel that I gave her alot of $$ as compared to my bro. Moreover, I work lor, not go out and play.
The maid tends to take care of the nieces more, since my bro & SIL are her bosses and not me mah. I had quite a few arguments with my mum already over working late. The last straw is the cruise, which I went with my mum , my bro's family + maid. My mum spent a large part of the time in the casino. The maid was constantly helping out with my nieces. Thru'out the cruise, I and my hb was so busy looking after our kid. We take turns to carry her, gobbled down food and ended up more tired than before the cruise. I finally exploded and told my mum that I could be better off getting my own maid. Initailly, it was angry words, but come to think of it, maybe I should do so. With a maid, if my hb end work early, he could pick up the kid 1st. Now, he has to wait for me cos he cant handle the kid alone. The maid can oso do housework and I can stop the part-time cleaner that I am engaging for 2x a month now. We can oso spend more quality time with my girl. My hb & I can oso have more "me" & "we" time.
To get a maid, I will have to stop giving my mum the extra and use that to finance the maid. If that is the case, I will oni have to top up a bit more per month.
However, the concern is about getting a good maid lor. I will still need my mum to supervise the maid. If my mum still ask for extras for the "supervision" work, then it will be very tough on our finance. Haiz... dilemma...

Angel_z, the maid is entitled to 1 offday/mth, thus my relative believed she had a bf whom she met during her offdays. Anyway, she is good in covering up her preggie state. Now is is back home for good.
Ya, like babycupid said, I forgot there is this insurance which will cover the 5k deposit. So still not so bad, but still have to buy insurance to cover maid lor.
Zuen, sympathize with you leh. Hope you can get a good maid.

crystal, babycupid, tera,
Plus living expenses, how much do you spend on your maid per month? $700? Must work out our finances. Ever since the baby comes along, every month either see red or just nice. With a maid, if we need to top up extra then must tighten belt even more liao. Haiz..
babycupid,
Wat is the agency that you go to? Can PM me?
Veniz,
I still considering leh. Duno if my pocket will allow. However, I do see more pros than cons. Eversince my bro & SIL got the maid, they push the kids to the maid, so much free time at hand. Me leh, give my mum so much, then kena grumbled when I work late. After working, must rush to mum's house to pick up baby. Must bath her, spend some time with her and tuck her to bed, then have time to express or do laundry. Middle of the night must wake up to express and feed her.. -.o" I might as well cut away the extras that I pay my mum and get myself a maid. Another alternative is to look for a nanny. But nanny oso not cheap, oso duo how they will treat my kid and sometimes they are not very flxible when I have to work late or go overseas.

Yr situation lil bit like mine.
B4 i want to hire a maid i've talk to my mom.
She took care of my sons age 3 & 5 which i gave her 300 and 300 for marketing...
if i have to take a maid i have to deduct the 300 to pay to the maid and still have to fork out another 170 for the levy....furthermore i have no extra cash to give her if i have to hire a maid....
and my mom always have leg pain.
after saying all these she agreed.
B4 i hired a maid my mum did all the cooking and sometime my laundry if the boys are asleep in the afternoon.
so b4 i due on june...i hired a maid on April.
so now my mum only look after my bb gal which is now 5mths plus...the rest my maid handled..
i appreciate my mom for understanding my situation...

Danryan,
Harsh words were passed this morning.. -.o"
I oso duno whether my mum will understand my situation.
Currently, I paid for everything that my girl uses. I will buy and pass to her. if she helps me to buy, then I will pay back. So the $100 + $300 excludes all the expenses.

Re; solid food
just read earlier postings on solid food.
for brown rice, i am looking at gerber organic brown rice cereal.
Actually my boy seems ready to start solid food few weeks ago liao. but pd have told me to wait until 6mths due to his eczema. so no choice i waited. else i probably have started in 5mths.
for weaning, i dun intend to wean much milk bec' i learn from articles tat BM shd make up majority of bb food for first year.

Zuen, get a maid, good one is of coz a pro. Initially, I wanted to get one, but everyone objected. Now, I am paying my gal's nanny $500.00 (when she starts solid, will up 50.00) and to my MIL, its also $500.00. Total my family expenses to childcaring is already 1k. at least you give $400.00 to your mother is worth it, but of coz as you said, I think she wants her own time.
I used to give my MIL $600 to take care of son (including our meals) but then when we shifted out, seldom eat at her place and with son going to sch, I told her I need to pay for enrichment classes so can only afford 500. She also very nice, get all good quality fish and meat for son. Now that I am bfing, when ever the fish my son cannot finish, she will save it for my dinner, as also, the rest does not like to eat fish.
Dun worry much, sit down, think about it when you cool down.

hmm.. if the maid is gd of cos it will be a great help and relieve for u n hb.. but if the maid is problematic.. den hor super sian stress and alot more..
so i shld say maid is really depends on luck..
total we spend ard 320(the pay)+ 170(levy)+ 100(meals+neccessities etc)
my opinion is get a maid if someone oversee.. so u will be more an xin.. once u got a maid.. u have more freedom.. which i really need.. initially i dun plan to get a maid.. is my mil requested.. now i am soooooooooo glad tat i actually hired one.. cos i cant imagine taking care of bb myself.. hugging him wherever i go.. alamak..

ZuEn,
I would say $600-$700 is a realistic range. I think getting a maid is quite a viable option given your current situation. But like you said, work out the finances first. There is always the risk in whether one can get a good maid or not. Getting maid is really heng-suay one. I suppose the option to be able to replace a not ideal maid should alleviate that problem a little. Of course, there is the hassle with re-training and all but at least u know u have the option to change. Just my 2 cents worth.

Bonjovi, hope Kyler gets well soon! & it's natural for mummies to worry. You are not overly protective la. I went for a bath at 7pm+ and asked hb to look after bb. Midway, heard bb cry damn loud. Aiyo, I was bathing halfway liao. If not sure chiong out. Yelled at hb what happened, no reply. So worried if bb fell from bed or wat althou I left him in bb cot. After a while, bb stopped crying. QUickly showered and rushed out n asked what happened. He said bb roll in cot until hand kena stuck or in super uncomfortable position then cried very loudly. *PIANZ* don noe to laugh or wat. I also super kan chiong like tat. Don worry, it's maternal instinct. haha...
RE: Couple time
Today feeling super duper drained. Everytime end of the workweek always like tat. Then lotsa negative tots... like super no life now. After work must chiong home take care of bb. Weekends hubby working so at least u all got hubby to accompany u to go walk walk for 2-3 hrs also not bad liao. So I seldom go out on wkends unless it's to my mum's place but also must see people's face colour. Last time, always go out with hubby for dinner on Friday. something to look forward to. Don have liao since bb come out. Of course, now go home can see baby feel super happy too. But somehow today's too tired until cannot think positively.
Took a 20mins power nap at 9pm. Woke up at least happier.... just want to vent. just bear with me.
Soyabean, The carter's bibs looks so cute! Gonna order some tml..hehe...
Baby's turning 5mths tomorrow! Yeahie!

veniz, Ellysia,
Looks like we all give our parents quite alot huh. My mum is not working liao and she doesnt spend alot. She lives with my bro so no bills to pay. I do agree that it will be difficult to take back after I start giving. Looks like I will still need to give her something if she helps to supervise the maid..
babycupid, tera,
Aiyo, like tio tikam like that... Any advice on nat? My bro's maid = PHL. He requested that I get a diff nat one if I really wanted to engage one.. actually my mum is not really for the idea of having 2 maids. However, the current arrangement is not working out lor. I feel v.unbal that I contribute to the maid + contribute much more (as compared to my bro), yet rush like siao everyday. Already many incidents of arguments bcos I cannot fetch bb on time cos I have to work.
MLP,
I oso realised that I snapped at hb more after bb is out. Sometimes, I realised that my entire focus is on bb and have to remind myself that my hb oso needs me lor. Maybe that is oso one of the reasons why I am considering a maid. In that way, more time for us.
Re: HB alone with maid
Wat is your take? My hb ends work earlier than me usually. There will oso be times that I go on biz trips. Do you all leave your maid alone with hb?

Morning mummies!
ZuEn,
I have a Myanmar maid. Reasons for choosing this nationality was cos we have a relative who had a myanmar maid whom we found very hardworking and good. Also, what I heard was that most PHL maids now tend to be smarter and will "geng" so I opted for Myanmar. Of course, there are also good PHL maids around, I'm sure, just like there are cases of lazy Myanmar maids. So yes, it's luck again, aargh.
It's really like tikam, cos when we selected our 1st maid for my agency's case, we looked at her biodata and then interviewed her through phone and she sounded ok. So we took her. But when she got here, found her kind of dishonest (she kept some of my stuff without telling me) and she din seem to like kids much. So then we switched to my current maid who is so far so good. The general problem with Myanmar maid is the communication cos their English not very good so must speak slowly and in simple english but I think I can live with that as long as she takes good care of my baby.
And yes, I do leave her alone with HB.

Of course, there are also good PHL maids around, I'm sure, just like there are cases of lazy Myanmar maids. So yes, it's luck again, aargh.
It's really like tikam, cos when we selected our 1st maid for my agency's case, we looked at her biodata and then interviewed her through phone and she sounded ok. So we took her. But when she got here, found her kind of dishonest (she kept some of my stuff without telling me) and she din seem to like kids much. So then we switched to my current maid who is so far so good. The general problem with Myanmar maid is the communication cos their English not very good so must speak slowly and in simple english but I think I can live with that as long as she takes good care of my baby.
And yes, I do leave her alone with HB.

i agree wif u on the communication part wif myanmar maid. i had that prob wif my 1st maid. everything i say she say yes yes then turn out dun understand and do wrong thing. told time and time again to say if dun know, no need to be afraid but somehow cant get into the head. and they tend to be very low initiative. ask to do #1, and will only do #1.

<font color="aa00aa">Big panda eyes Felicia reporting today!
My #1 was sick after got back from childcare yesterday. On the way back, she vomitted once, then at home another time before my hubby brought her to see doc (as i was at room doing massage). Hubby told me my ger vomit twice at the clinic. Doc finally need to inject pill into her buttock to stop her vomitting.
When she's back, she was very cranky coz she'd hvin fever at 38.5 degree plus she's hungry due to the vomitting.
My girl was very stubborn and unreasonable especially when she's sick. She dont allowed my mil to go to sleep and she want only me to feed her medicine, ended up both of us din get to sleep. So now i'm a big panda eyes monster with messy hair and haggard look.</font>
