      oh goodness, wat a 4getful mami i am. i totally forgotten abt younger children at getting infected more easily...hmm..we shall see if breast milk really does makes the immunity stronger....lol


      tks for sharing (=^o^=)

      When my son first entered Nursery at 4, he will fall sick in Jan (fever, cough, running nose, sore throat) when school reopened, July after the hols as well as other seasonal period.
      I gave him Milo and little breast milk every morn when he was in K2 (just had #2 then) and he hardly fell sick after that.

      now maidless. after agent told her want to meet up with her bf, she lan lan do her job but it only last short while, i have to keep telling her off. until i found her playing with my baby's dick and always bringing him into the toilet when she does her biz, i sent her to the agency without hesitation.

      now depending on my elder gal to help me cope with but after she goes poly, i have to get a maid again and i'm so skeptical abt having a gd maid cos till now (more den 10 maids) and i haven meet a gd one *_*

        I guess everyone hopes to get good maid as that will be of good help.


        I was toying the idea to rehire maid .But, think of all the prob , i gave up the idea.

        Yesterday, I heard my neighbour asking her maid, xx, why the food is so salty?in a very nice tone.You know what the maid reply, MY tongue cannot taste…goodness…

          Told my hubby if there is extra income, getting a maid is not a bad idea...at least someone to do the cleaning...but the stress of having to handle another person in the household will be more stressful...the problems they give...not like I don't have enough headaches.
          Talk to them nicely, these maids climb on the head. Strict with them, they put soap powder, run away or murder you.

          With one of my Indon maids, she had problems with her teeth. Sent her to see doctor but she refused surgery...understand their culture but her tooth gave her fever.

            Hi all,


            Really happy to chance upon this thread. My maid of 3 years is leaving in a few days time and I have decided not to have a new one after many bad experiences the past 14 years of having maids!

            Besides being inspired through this thread, I have also learnt many household 'toys' that I hv decided to get - irobot, dryer & thermal pot 🙂

            However I am still contemplating on the following and would like to hear from any users its effectiveness :

            1) standing steam iron - is it easy and good to use?
            2) dishwashing machine - any good brand to recommend?

            Thanks!

              me too, been wanting to get the steam iron but seen so many ended up at cash converters.


              so for those who are using princess, novita and any other brands, pls let us know how is the result.

              tks tks (=^o^=)

                I treat my maid as my godmother. I’m thirteen, for your information.

                  WOW Alex001, I am proud that you are so respectful to your helper. Sorry I used the word helper as they usually help around the house. 😄

                  May I know your helper's nationality? Because my helper of 5 years, would like to go back home next year. She is my first helper and is very responsible and loves kids and she is from Indonesia. So I have to keep a look out.

                      i would kill her if she's my maid. so disgusting :x :x :x
                      should have made a police report because that's molest.

                      :x :x :x :x

                        I heard such incidents before, esp the boys who are bigger like 3-4 and sleeping in same room as maids.
