No more domestic help!

We are back to having no domestic help. Sri did not like looking after children. She says she does not know how to handle Yitian. Even with us putting her and Yitian at my sister's place and with Mata helping. She says she prefers looking after old men, I presume elderly folks. It's defintely easier as you don't have to run around them, they don't have that high level of energy!

Well, Mr Kho and I were glad that we discovered it now rather than when our second one is born. The maid agency was quite efficient in handling the administrative part of it. Sri has officially been transferred and we have gotten our refund back.

Not to worry, I can manage. When Mr kho and I sat down and talked about it, we realised that at this point in time, we may not be suitable to have a maid. We prefer to do things ourselves. And like I mentioned before, it's a weird feeling to have someone who you totally don't know staying with you. So i guess, this chapther in our lives is closed, At least we did try out.

How do you survive?

No worries to it. Just this morning, washed and scrubbed 3 bathrooms, mop the floors, washed 2 loads of laundry. All these while 7 months pregnant. It's just a matter of whether you want to do it or not. Actually having domestic help is just a luxury, not a necessity..I'll survive ;)
