title: Learn to live without maid
date: Thursday, April 19, 2012 time : 4:58 PM
I shall touch a little on
this, between my current maid and us….
So Can I ever live without a
maid? My maid would be returning home on 1 May after completing her 2-years
contract with us, which was previously agreed upon when we employed her.
Counting…another 11 days, we’ll have to live without a maid! Yes, we are not
planning to have any maid for the time being, see~ I use the word “for the
time-being” lol~ anticipating hus may back out one day. I’m pretty insisted on
going maid-less apart of the above reason, after some considerations.
1) Putting away by the huge amount
for agency fee and upfront payment, not the main concern though.
2) I do some calculation,
which I could have save pretty lot on the maid meals (high cost on their meals,
which we never restrict what they wanna eat), healthcare, hygiene care pdts,
this can be save for better thing like kids’ education, talent programs etc.
3) Maid will be left alone at
home and since is newly employed maid without anyone at home to supervise the
maid, which very likely will turn the maid into a lazy bum. Though I have
camera installed at home, I can’t be there every minutes looking at the CCTV.
Hus promised to help with
sweeping, mopping of floor, laundry and ironing his own clothes. These left
with washing of toilets, the dishes, the cooking, the windows, the cabinets,
the bed sheets and the list can go on. Fair?! Lol~ Well, can I cope? I’m not
being worry not able to cope with the tones of work to be done in the house
besides caring for the children. But, being worry that my girls will need to have slightly late dinner cause by the time I reach home to done with cooking for them, could be already 7.30pm. Also worry that I may not have as much time
for my bbfs. I love them as much as I love my family, I don’t want to be
drifted any little from them. Oh, dear, will I be able to handle all these? I’m
so used to having a maid!
If that last…elder girl would
have to go for after school student care centre, when she start her primary
school next year and whilst the younger still remain in the whole day childcare.
Thinking that I can just throw everything into a washing
machine would solve my problem of laundry, left with the undergarment which I
may consider using disposable one for undies. Haha~ The windows, cabinets,
toilets and bed sheets would be a once a week or once a fortnight affair with
the help of my children being cooperative in keeping the house clean. That
leaves dishes which can never be avoided.
Also without maids, we can perhaps finally learn to pick up
after ourselves and be “less lazy” when come to housework. It is gonna be even
more tiring having to do minor housework, cooking, cleaning and handling kids,
putting them to sleep after coming back from a work battle. Is like having to
get everything done in a short period of time (maybe 3 or 4 hrs) before I can
get to bed. How about pampering of myself-- whether I have time to daily using
my Anti-aging Light Therapy device? Urgh… shouldn’t think too much, I believe I
can, there is always way out and should stay positive. But this is probably
less stressed out, having to dealing with some maid issue if we get to meet a
problematic one.
I don’t wish to gamble for one and be in any mind games.
Now I only wish someone can invent a cooking robot to help me preparing my family meals when we get home on a weekdays. *daydreaming* haa I find this video on my younger girl, which is pretty cute...keeping her toy box back to the room. and with these I hope I can still maintain maintain...youthful :$  Labels: Maid |
