Sorry, my Chinese typing is very slow. So, I type in English.
I also just resigned and will become full time mama in mid of Aug. Right now, my maid and my mum take care BB. Everyday, my mum come to my house to help to take care for few hours. But, my mum may busy in coming months, so if only my maid take care BB, I'm quite worry.
I'm also thinking of change to full time mama quite a long time because my job is quite relax, no pressure and I can leave my office on time. However, seems my BB like my mate more than me even I go home immediately and take care her by myself. But, after work, I feel tired so I do not have much patient to play with her. So, I think may be I change to full time mama, I can more close with BB. Of course, money also important, because I want to have one more baby and move to bigger house. Sometimes, I also think whether I make the decision right or not. But I cannot think too much as my friend said it is most important if you can give all your time with BB. I will still keep my mate in these 2 years, because I 'm lazy to do housework. I have 3 freinds are full time mama. They said that sometimes they also feel tired, but they also very enjoy and they think it is worth.
So, what is your reason to be full time mama? Let's share ! and PM if you would like to talk.
my situation is similar as yours. My bb is now taking care by my maid and my mother-in-law will come to my home. Since my husband is working on shift duties, she will only come if my husband is on work ...
On late March this year, my maid did a serious mistake, so starting from that time, we will not leave my bb and the maid alone at home.
I have the same feeling as yours, my bb like the maid more than me ... and also sometimes, my maid is black face, no response, having a good maid is really depends on your luck ... 依家d工人話又唔話得, 驚佢唔知點對bb, 全家人都要睇佢頭, 有時都唔知為咩 ... 好辛苦...
Since my husband will soon getting a Quarter, so we can save a lot of money (the money that we currently paid for the rent), so after thinking of the financial situation ... I am seriously thinking to be a full time mama ...
But not sure if my decision is correct or not... same as yours, I had a "good" job, from 9 to 6, no OT, no pressure, my boss is in US, he gave me a lot freedom, have 15 mths salary ... lunch 2 hours ... etc ...
so, it is really a hard decision ... and wanna get support ... :(
Wow! Your job is really good! It is very hard to make decision.
What kind of mistake that you maid made? Actually, I feel that my maid like my BB very much. However, she also make a big mistake. Last time, when we brought my BB to take photo in studio. After the photo shooting, we selected the photo in front of the PC and asked my maid to hold baby for sleep. Suddently, we found that she gave a man to hold BB. I asked her why she let the man hold BB. And she just said she also scared when the man hold BB. I don't know why she did not tell me immediately. Even the man may be work in the studio (actually, we are also not very sure) she cannot let a stranger guy to hold BB.
Moreover, I asked her not to bring BB to toilet because not safe, but she did.
And also, I found that she lie to me(for small things). Therefore, I think that I cannot believe her too much even she like my BB. Sometimes, they may careless. So, I decided to resign.
By the way, what is the meaning of 'getting a Quarter"?
Anyway, how is your husband's comment? Support or not?
