dior,
of course i won't recommend you send your son to bethesda lah! all are too far away for you.
for your son's case, whether to let him go home and spend the rest of the day with your maid or go CC, is totally up to you. which option do you think would be better for him? is your maid the kind to engage and interact with your son, and make sure that his day is not boring? or is she the type to do the bare minimum?
but if you decide to send him to CC aft nursery, don't you think it may be a waste of $$? if like that then might as well just let him go to full day CC, then he can just spend the day there.
janet,
yah, 4hrs for her to be away from home is long enough for me! hubby and i have decided to not have any more maid once my dd goes to sch next yr, cause since dd won't be home for 4hrs, i can do some minor housework. my previous PT cleaner has also told me she would be more than happy to come back and clean my home 1x/week again.
as it is now, my maid is relatively quite free, esp on weekends. i am not saying that she is lazy or anything. she is pretty good actually, and the house is very clean. it's just that she is able to complete all her chores properly and quite fast. sometimes i also crack my head trying to think of more chores for her to do to fill up her time, esp on the weekends, but then i can't find anything leh!
so can you imagine how free my maid will be once my dd goes to sch?! my dd will be gone from 10.45am-2.45pm, then when she comes back home she will probably nap till abt 4.30pm. so that means my maid is free to do chores for abt 6hrs daily! that's alot of time! i honestly can't think of any chores for her to do for 5-6hrs daily, so that's why we decided to let her go prob in dec or jan.
