All About Life Without Maids

[Charmaine_chong]

Hi All,


I will be going maid-free on 1st week of 2011.

How those full-time working moms cope with household chores, teaching kids, sending to enrichment and cooking?

I have 2 young kids, will be turning 5 and 2.5yo in Jan 2011.

I feel restless even with a helper. She basically helps me a lot in coaching my 2yo girl. She teaches her loads of stuff.

My dad is our private cheft. He does all the cooking and marketing whereas my maid is more on household chores and taking care of my 2yo girl.

I don’t intend to have maid, hope i dont need one in my life anymore.

My phobia is how well i can cope with the daily chores and most importantly is to teach my kids.

I can see it can be very challenging.

Hair usually sticks to mop. I usually vacuum up the dust/hair before mopping...usually the mopping is to remove the stickiness.

Once I vacuum the floor, can almost close my eye to mop since the hair and dust is picked up by the vacuum cleaner. Irritating to have dust and hair stuck to the mop.

Oh we use the thingee with a sticky cloth one (cant rem the name) to remove hair first before using a mop. And the mop is that type can twist twist to remove water type…

The twist twist to remove water type seem to be a \"hot\" thing now as a lot places are promoting it. But the head of mop seem to be too big to squeeze under the sofa , coffee table & etc.

Hi Janet,

What kind of vacum cleaner are u using?
I dislike pulling the wire around to vacum the whole house, that irritates me.Also, find the air around the vacum cleaner very hot and that makes me perspire most of the time and foul mood.thank you.

Yes, the wire can be very irritating but it gives me a good sweat out. Bought a Kaarcher vacuum cleaner for a quick pickup but battery died out fast. :x Use the Kaarcher one bcos dirt/hair goes directly into the water, saving me all the sneezing.

Hi Janet,


I just wish that I am more positive and willing to go thr the 'work out\".Am totally exhausted after it.I have the rainbow, water filler kind of vacum cleaner too.But really too lazy to move around with it.Maybe karcher that one will do but as u said, battery died out quite fast.
