Myanmar Maid. NO.NO.NO!!!

My Indonesian maid has left us for 2 plus months & we have gotten a Myanmar maid to replace her.

Instead of lessen my burden, she made me more busy. Have to spot check her every now & then. Cant understand simple English. I can tolerate most of the silly & stupid mistakes that she makes unless it compromise my children cleanliness & well being!!

Last Sat, found out that she did not switch on Mindy's steriliser to sterilise the bottles after numerous reminders from the 1st day she started work! So, I reminded her not to do it again. However, she repeat the mistake on Sun again & I gave her a stern & final warning not to let me catch her again. But tonight, she STILL DID IT AGAIN!!!!! So I told her firmly that I'm going to deduct S$20 from her pay each time she forget.

To some of u, it may seem like a small issue but not to me. Its because Mindy is having flu, fever & she has pooed 3 times today (which is not normal). So is it because of her negligence that cause Mindy to fall ill?? Mindy is just 9 months old!!!!

Many people (Me, MIL, my mum)have try to convince hubby to change maid several times but he is real stubborn!! The reason of him not changing is because her pay is cheap ($340 per mth) & we only service her 2 mths loan. FYI, my mil also cant stand the maid at times, always says that she is silly, very slow, rough with kids, dunno how to coax kids etc etc etc... (the list is never ending). My 2 elder kids does not like her either.

I think I will go crazy if I am stuck with this maid for 2 years. Can anyone HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!

End of Breastfeeding Journey

Have finally stopped breastfeeding after I fall seriously ill for the past few months due to lack of sleep.

Having painful engorgement even though i took the medication (Dostinex) to ease it. It cost a hefty S$40 for 2 tiny tablets. Heart pain. Silly me still express out the BM as i cannot stand the pain.

Hope Mindy has benefitted from drinking breastmilk during her 9 months of life.

Mummy love u alot & hope that u grow up to a healthy & happy gal.
