LOLMum:

i am on the lookout for some1 to cook my daily dinner. simple dishes and probably just 3 or 4 hours at most.


but i am unsure of the pay. looking at the papers today, a cook at a childcare centre is paid $800. also a office tea lady and sales assistant (not shopping mall) is about $700. all work long hours. so just couldnt decide what should the pay be.

am thinking of checking at cdc center since the center would be matching jobs for the jobless.

I checked out glory cleaning services recently and found the services available but expensive. You may like to check with them then make your own judgement call.

Tried tingkat…whole family pui except me…cos’ less work so lower expectation mah. Since whole family soooo against, no choice took the task back.


But I started to cut down to only 2-3 home-cooked dinner a week (1 soup + 2-3 dish).
Sometimes when I really really xianz…I’ll just cook a soup + 1 dish & pack dishes like 排骨王， 三蛋菜 from zhi-char stall.

The idea of getting someone to cook ~2 dinners a week is good. Better still if cook at their house and bring over…but also means need to be nearby. I can collect too. Sure beat all the washing/cleaning etc.

No need license to cook and bring over? But if the person don't stay nearby, then can earn how much by travel to and fro, minus off the transport fare etc.

sleepy:

I find it quite impossible to work even though I do have free time.


I need to make 4 to 5 trips each day. Early morning send dd1 to school, noon time send dd2 to school, mid afternoon pick dd1 up, evening pick dd2 up. if got tuition that afternoon, another extra trip. So sleepy to wake up so early & I need to take a nap while no one is at home otherwise I will too sleepy to drive in mid afternoon. And squeeze in marketing in morning while dd2 is still sleeping. On top of that, cooking and laundry.

I feel lethagic all the time. Can't even drag myself to exercise even though I do have quite a few empty slots when both kids are not at home. Seriously need to increase my energy level first

Sleepy arh.. like i tell all my other frenz..
All these are excuuuuuzzzes.

:siam:

I have 3 children.. also in out kinda schedule.. also coach them in their wok & revision.. cook clean wash iron.. work PT from home (freelance, so on & off when there are assignments).. but i can find time to exercise and i bring my children out for exercise/play as well. :evil:

One running and very active kid already tired me out. Constantly chasing up and down. :siam: We even run home from school. Maybe also consider \"exercise\".

Am SAHM since my 2nd one turn two years old. Cos nanny is going oversea so not able to look after anymore, and personally I don't like the idea of child care thus the decision was made.


Feel the 24hr time spent with gal is worthwhile, either playing, watch TV or doing coloring etc are very fulfilling rather than just be with her for a few hours after work.

Just my personal opinion.

My son has one hr play time everyday.but he need compulsory compter time otherwise he can't motivate to study.What to do?He cannot missed the computer hrs.He can miss the study hrs.He always thinking the quantity.I feel his quality study not enough.The timing is very difficult.3-4 study 4-5 computer 5-6 study 6-7 playground.I need to fetch my DD from school at 4pm.so I let him to see computer.otherwise he playing with fire.I just scared to let him alone without computer.In the one hr he just finish 5 pages faster and go away.Then I mark it.Then 5 I asked him to correct.Then the time run fast or he does slow.His playground time reach.Then he go to playground.His friend goes to playground at 6.I just feel cannot Teach properly.

1hr to play computer is too much, try to break down into 15mnts x 4. If he can't concentrate on his study for 1hr make it 45minutes but add the frequency, every 45minutes of study give a 15minutes break to play computer.

Hi blessed777!
sorry for the late reply.
thank you for ur suggestion.
Its worked for me.I completely remove computer hrs in week days.
I gave 15mins break every 45mins.In the 15 mins he watched videos in iphone.Then come come back to study.only weekends I gave computer time.I remove all fb games.So he has no urgent to see games.I allo him for other internet games.but thatone also I found no useful at all.
