All About Life Without Maids
-
Just want to share my personal experience.
My son is 5 years old and we had a maid for 3 years.
The maid’s job was basically taking care and play with my son.
Simple housework like cleaning is a must daily and good for her… no cooking required. Last year in March, I release my maid due to some unpleasant situation… Plans and thought ran thru my mind at the time. Was tough…
Plans to send him to child care centre did not work as the nearest center closes at 7pm sharp and I know one thing for sure is that I will NEVER make it, picking up my young man. My hubby is working shift work and hence leaving the pick up to him is not at all possible.
Spoke to some neighbours and got a nanny who is staying at the same block. I would say I am fortunate to get this good nanny. She charges me $400 per month and settles lunch and dinner. She even took the trouble to teach my son writing, singing, etc.
As for housework, I got a part time cleaner, who comes in on every Saturday morning Of course during the weekdays, I need to so some simple ones too.
Frankly, I would not want a maid anymore. Not only did we save $ on maid’s salary and SP bills, we save headaches and heartaches too. I happily tell myself trhat I got one person lesser to worry about.
Look forward CHEERS!! -

Hi MamaKlein, yes, one person less to worry, one \"child\" less to take care. Hahaha ... So stress with a maid.

Yay!!! I look forward to my 1st anniversary without a maid too![/quote]My 1st anniversary without a maid has since past. Not that I cope very well last year. I'm determine to make it work this year by some improvement needed here and there. Anyway, I received a call recently from an agency. My maid called me up & ask if I need her services again.
I survive handling my kids, my work, my relationship, my parents last year (I forget to take care of myself or simply no time), I'm trying to make improvement this year to include taking care of myself without a maid. So, my answer to my maid (she is a nice good maid if one is very flexible) is a big NO. -
Hi there,
Can anyone over here teach me how to use Scotch-Brite Light –Weight Sponge Mop? Sponge is in purple colour. I read the instructions but I still don’t get it. Spent the whole afternoon pushing/pressing but still can’t figure it out. How do I also remove the plastic cover over the sponge? Thank you -
I have gone without a maid for slightly more than a year. The last maid (Filipino) gave me goose bums and after sending her back to the agency, I did not have any interest in maids.
It’s tough not having a maid, but when I think of the problems they give…forget it. Fortunately, my mum cooks dinner. I will make a soup or something easy for lunch.
Hubby helps with the housework - ironing/keeping laundry and mopping. We are very much happier without a maid. Of course, the windows are not spotless and the house is not mopped everyday. -
Anyone has got an efficient way to clean glass door and mirrors?thanks
