felixp,
putting maid and bb at mil house is not possible. cos i have no tpt in the morning. hb leave for work ard 6.30am and i have to fetch my no 1 to ccc.
mil is ok with coming to our house everyday. we feel that she will be tired too. but she keep insisting that only one bus jorney, from her house downstair to my house downstair.
also all of us, mil inclusive dun like the idea of having the maid at her house, cos i have a PRC sil that dun bother abt her no 1 who is 18 mths old and expecting no 2 due in may.
now mil is helping to take care while she work part time and back home at 2pm. but she dun take over taking care of her gal. she simply go str to her room and sleep or do her things leaving the child to my poor mil who need to not only take care of the child, do housework, cook and do marketing. she dun even have time to rest.
if we put maid at mil house, bil will not share the maid cost cos both bil and prc sil is so stingy to the 1 cents kind of person.
imgaine mil take care of the child 24/7, 7 days a week and they only give her $100.
if by this next mth, mil decided not to help us, we will register to the ifc downstair.
my no 1 goes ccc at the age of 20 mths.
during the first 6 mths of her life in ccc, every 3 weeks to 1mth i take leave cos she constantly fall sick and my medical bill coup up to abt 4k within 4 mths. see pd, gp, specialist, even tmc. but no regards, as her immunity is better as she grows and she learn more and more independent.
