Hello mummies,


Anyone who is a SAHM with a maid? I wanted to get a maid but worried about all the maid issues but i really cannot cope with all the chores and taking care of both my DD and DS without any assistance from both PIL and parents.

Hi

I'm a Sahm with a maid at home . My DD is coming to two and DS coming to two month old. My current maid just arrived before my delivery and I must say she really help me a lot. She handles all household chores and cooking. While I take care of the children and marketing. Sometimes she help me handle one child when I am engage with one, and the other needs attention. I think it's only helpful if your maid is experienced. My first maid was horrible even before my second child is born, we fire her after one month.

I had a maid when #2 arrived. She was an angel…so very blessed. She did a fantastic job cooking, looking after younger one and ok with housework. Most impt, willing to listen. But she wanted to leave after 1 1/2 years bcos she wanted to get married (considered old at 27).

My subsequent maids gave me hell even though I closed 1 eye. Can’t possibly close 2 eyes…basic hygiene still must be maintained. Morn I already closed 2 eyes bcos I had to coach son in his school work (in p1 then and afternoon session). She climbed on my head bcos I was lenient.

Maids…if too strict with them, they put urine or soap powder in your food. Worse, murder the employer and get away with diminished responsibility.

I tend to spend more time with my dd1 too. It's unavoidable since my dd1's homework is tougher compared to dd2's. I tried to place them in separate school sessions so I can give 1 to 1 attention each time.

So if your dd1 is in afternoon session, then place dd2 in morning session nursery or vice versa

Hi sleepy!

I do pilates regularly (at least once or twice a week). It's great for strengthening and shaping, and it is VERY hardwork. I love it! I see a change in my body. But don't expect to lose much weight with it. (my butt is still big, but at least it's pert!) for weight loss, as what the others have suggested you probably need to include swimming, running/walking etc. for that.

Why not start with brisk walking, then add other stuff as your energy levels rise? All the best with your exercise routine!

Thanks so much for sharing

I've signed up for ladies gym recently. Timing is ideal. After I drop off dd2 in school, I can go gym for an hour, then fetch dd1 from school.

There is one problem though. I've not done aerobics or anything intensive yet, just simple weight lifting machines for toning. However, somehow I feel worst after exercising. Before I took on any exercise routine, I'm just flabby. Now besides being flabby, I strained my foot ligament and have knee pain. Worst off le :slapshead:
