Personally i feel hving a maid is a totally a waste of resources!

Waste my $$$, waste my breathe n time repeating & repeating n repeating to her,
(make me old 10yrs)!!! On top of it still got to worry abt her makan prob, BGR prob.... Piang.... Tis is endless....

Ultimately i can generate tis resources to send my kids to better presch, enrichments, buy mre fanciful appliances n not afraid tat it will spoilt within 3 mths!!

couldn't cope on my own without a maid when i had #2...so we hired a maid.
like what you mentioned...have repeat and repeat. PUB (water, electricity and gas) shot up...then with indon maid, there is prob with her makan...one word - HEADACHE.

Yes janet,

Wen i had my #2, DS was 3YO+.. decided to enrolled him to a reputable chdcare wif good curriculum.. So far no regrets, he had enjoyed his presch years n now doing well in P1.. So far manage to cook all my meals for d prince & princess... Tired just tabao lor.. Wahaha..
I believe is all abt time management... Now really looking fwd to d day wen both in Pri... N i hv mre ME time

The month after sending off 饭桶, I discovered several things:

1) expensive ziplock bags were gone.
2) gas bill dropped tremendously
3) my cutlery were badly chipped.

Dumped the mattress/pillow/blanket downstairs. The cutlery also dumped.
Took out my precious Corelle bowls/plates to use. So crazy isn’t it? With maids, have to use cheaper things bcos they vent their frustration on them when reprimanded. When those maids banged cupboard doors or whatever, I pretended not to hear…so that they don’t succeed in showing me black face.

Yes, I am much happier without a maid too.

i miss my first indon maid the most...she is the one who really had the initiative, IQ and EQ...so much so that I could really shake legs :love:

Hi, my conventional iron just broke down. Need advice/feedback from parents here if the steam iron Philip/Novita brand, the ‘vacuum cleaner’ type is good compared to normal iron using with the ironing board. Thank you

Lately, I notice that my 16 year-old DS has 'arrived'.


When he sees me going to mop the floor, he would offer to do it for me. When I am cooking and he is free, he would occasionally come to the kitchen and ask if there is anything he can help me. One late evening, about 9pm, I was going to the super mart to buy some stuff, he wanted to tag along to help me carry the stuff. I told him I was buying only a few items, not heavy, and he said, \"Let us just take a walk together, Ma\"

I can't describe to you the joy I feel inside and the comfort in knowing that he appreciates my care for him deep enough to want to relief me of some of the chores. He knows I enjoy taking walks and he made time to do it with me. I think such feelings is something that could more likely be experienced by us with no maids in the house. Life with no maids has such intangible merits

Wow osim, that's so sweet of your son.
Such a heart-touching post made me wonder when my son will be like yours.

Unless you can settle for a less than perfect look, the steam iron will only reduce crease/wrinkle. For some materials, a normal iron is still needed for the pressed look.
