Re: Maids/Nanny
I kept a maid as a helper almost 2 yrs after my baby was born because I have a very tough kid, he is active, hyper, naughty and super dangerous and all day long I would just be looking after him, cooking for him, chasing him for each bite, picking his mess. As a result it would be 4pm before I could properly eat when he would nap. And it took me 1-2 hours to get him to sleep, and same at night and he would wake up 3-4 times a night. I just completely gave up on my health and personal well being, I couldn’t bath or use the loo in peace, I brushed my teeth with one hand whilst holding his other so he wouldnt open the dustbin, heck I blame my m/c on my poor health and mental well being.
Sorry if I offended you, but in your situation I agree like I said above that its ok to have one so that the mum gets rest too. Also I should have added that in the scenarios I mentioned above the mothers lived with the inlaws and had separate cooks and maids for the cleaning so it wasn’t that they had to do everything.
