As much as possible, I try not to complaint about my maid. I should be thankful that I have a helper now. But when it comes to my children’s well being, I cannot help it.

It has been a month that hubby went back to work, leaving my children under the care of the maid with the help from MIL. During this period I always returned home to a messy 3 musketeers and most of the time I will meet them outdoor, playing under the tree, in the tree and exposed to the afternoon heat with lots of mosquito bites. I don’t mind about the mosquito bite but the heat and other insects’ bite that troubled me.

Barnabas is much darker now compared to his sisters coz my girls spend less time outdoor compared to his brother. However, I did not say much about it as the maid has to be outdoor to clean the compound. She does not belong to me 100%. She is here to help MIL maintain the house and the compound.

But yesterday, I couldn’t help it but to “tegur” the maid. I was busy making the pineapple tarts and Barnabas wanted to nap. So I asked the maid to help put him to sleep. She carried him and walked away. Then I realized that she is not in the house, MIL told me that they are outside. She carried him outside to see the dog in the cage, under the hot sun! I told her not to let Barnabas go under the hot sun coz he is having runny nose. Then I continued making the tarts. She is still not in yet. Maybe my instruction wasn’t that clear. They are still out there. I called her to come in that instance and lectured her. Also reminded her that my children can only go outdoor after 5.30pm. She told me that they want to go out. Well, I told her that she is not to follow all their wishes. If possible they want to be outdoor the moment the open their eyes.

This is also part of my reason to resign. Cannot depend on the maid and MIL to mind my children. They are too soft and give in to all their wishes even if I reminded them many times not to.

Btw, I tendered my resignation today. :)


Stumble it!
