This morning use this statement for my msn message, some of my friends very 'sensitive' keep on asking me issit me to make the choice to leave my current company or what?
Sorry to make everyone so 'geng cheong'......'da da da' is my maid la! :P
Well, my maid contract will be end this July, i had a discussion with her over the last weekend. Offer her more than 20% increment and 1 1/2 mths holiday back to her hometown. She was happy and agreed to continue her 4th year of service with me. Yesterday morning, she happily called her hometown spread the news that she will back for holiday this July.
Who knows at nite by 10pm++, her mother called her......asked her not to continue working here, command her to go back and stay. I've asked her the reason, she said her mum din tell her, only asked her to go back. She looked confused and dunno what to do.
Well, in my heart i do hope she can continue working for me as my princesses are used to her. They treat her like their 2nd mummy at home. She dotes the princesses a lot too.... But i can understand if her mum asked her to be back as she has left her own country for 3 years leaving her son & hubby back in hometown. As a mother and as a daughter i understand and hope my family to be stay together with me all the time. Same as she & her mother too, i guess....
My worries, not sure if i should get a new maid after she leave later...should i give up my job and stay at home to take care my princesses. I just scare i can't get a better maid. Then, its my turn pula to keep thinking my current working situation. Sometimes, i feel that i really lack of 'goal' or vision in my life. I dun really know what i want in my life. I am ok to be SAHM and take care of my princesses, especially after read so much of 'sick' news recently. All the young gals no longer safe eventhough as young as below 5. This make me really worry and willing to give up my own job. In other hand, i oso worry my own pocket money if really choose to stay at home. Haiii...really headached to think all these....
I dun have a solution yet, and i need some times to think....well, pray hard, pray for my maid could stay for another year, so that i no need to headache now but another one year then... :P

i can't comment whether you should quit your job or not, actually, be a sahm really not a easy job.
if you really want to be a sahm, maybe you can think of blogging for money, a lot of SAHMs earn very enticing income every month, even much more than those time they worked full time.
how about nursery?
i can understand how u worries, i been go through this too...
still now e same problem hvn't solve yet....
Really ... mommy always the one that need to sacrify.. not to say sacrify, but will be in this kind of 'position' .. standing there at the junction, not sure which way should we go... but soon or later sure have a 'way' out... Give and take ...:)
Hi CPM--can you afford to quit your job at this time?
Maybe simpler to look for a new maid, but tough decisions (smile).
Follow your heart..... SAHM is not easy.. but then for me I never regret tho I am still adjusting myself to the life. Moreover not easy to find a good nanny/sitter.. if really no choice, I see no harm giving SAHM a shot. At least you tried ma...
I do understand your situation.
I was at that stage before, and guess will go thru tat stage again when something pop up (ie maid issue, schooling issue etc...) hope tat prob won't drag long for you...
I think be it a working mom or a SAHM, both hv diff challenges & satisfation... me too still struggling & confuse on wat i want in life too...
Take a break & i believe god will somehow lead us to a right place...
Care to do a tag from my site?
Hi All,
Thx for all your comments, am currently considering others options, like finding a more flexible job. Wish me luck! :-)
