jynnsan -> maid woes...I just had my maid for abt 3 weeks. I make it a point to her that other then when she is changing, she is not allowed to close the door completely, as my baby will be sleeping with her at night, thus I will need full access to her room. Gave her a door stopper to prevent the room from slamming due to the wind. So far, she is ok with this. But 1 thing I dont like is that she tends to oversleep and take nap in the afternoon. Spoke to her before and she seems better le. I am not at home the whole day to observe her, but as long as she gets her job done, I am ok. But mum will complaint more abt her, since mum is at home with her most of the time. I guess when it comes to maid, sometimes, really got to close one eye open one eye....but then got to deal with my mum's nagging on the maid also, which can be quite a headache.
bear -> ya, I know what you mean, guess these are issues that cannot be resolved. Hubby grew up in a bo chup environment, thus his character is like that. While I am brought up in a family whereby my mum takes really detailed care for each of her children, thus will be more hands-on. You are right to say that maybe we should change our expectation of our man...keke..
Alibaba-> as for my hubby, he is those kind that friends is more impt than family de...very lao hokkein thinking de and plus his working hrs is really long and he needs to work 24/7, all the more he have no time for me if his friends / clients jio him for dinner. Though he will ask me to join him, but I really no energy to go out socialising with him now...maybe after I give birth and lose weight, then I will follow him with all those entertainment...see whether he got excuse then....keke..
