Re: 終於?8月做?全職媽媽啦!

hi, friends,
these days I was very busy as my new maid just arrived on Monday. Poor me, Andrea doesn't like my new maid and wants me to carry/with her all the time (which in the past she'll walk/play by herself).

Hope she can get used to the new maid asap lah

Hi babyso

Sorry to know that Andrea doesn't like the new maid. I'd heard from other mami that you may try to buy something Andrea likes, and ask your maid to give it to Andrea as a gift. Maybe that will make her accept the new maid easier.

BTW, how does the new maid's performace? Can manage the household work well?

Good luck!

Re: 終於?8月做?全職媽媽啦!

Hi All,

My internet access is down for a while now. I'm actually using the coffee shop access.

ansonbaby,
Tasha was adapting to school live quite okay in the first two weeks and until she got ill last Wednesday. Didn't go to school for 2 days and the weekend, from Monday onwards, she is acting worser and worser each time. This morning, she tried to push me away while the school is still round the corner. And she cried everytime I picked her up (only for a couple minutes though).

babyso,
Is the new maid doing okay?
You may try to let her just some treats to HH and read or play some of her favourite with both of you first. This is how Natasha adapt to the new maid, now she's her favourite (esp. when she need something that we don't give her anymore).

Last term, when Anson started his school, there had been few days that he was so grumpy and even cried when I left him in his classroom. The teacher suggested me taking him to school earlier and played toys with him in the classroom before class started. Before leaving the classroom, I took him to his teacher and promised him to pick him up soon. Then, few days later, he was OK and liked the class la.

Don't know if your nursery can let you stay a bit longer even the class starts. Try to talk to Tasha's mistress and sort out if there are any methods to make Tasha like going to school la. Otherwise, it's so pity for her ah. Hope to hear good news from you soon la

Re: 終於?8月做?全職媽媽啦!

dear friend,
my new maid brings me lots of trouble ar :

1. absent-minded : I have to repeat 3, 4 times to remind her to lock the cabinet in the bathroom (inside has lots of detegine that should keep away from children), but still, she always forget things

2. very slow : work from 6:30am till 12mid nite, which I request her wake up at 7:30am and sleep at 9:30pm with Andrea. She just can't finish the work and said : "never mind, I want to finish work before sleep". oh my, how much work she needs to work 'coz I already help her out and doesn't need her to take care Andrea + do some of the routine work by myself

3. home-sick : Yesterday, I was away to church, she talked to my hubby that she wanted to call the employment agent. Which the agent said she's very worried about her sick mom (just 中風 the day before she left for HK), no wonder she always 遊魂

I'm thinking to employ a part-time like yours, any opinion to me? thanks

re: "我家多麼好"講座

Thank you very much for the useful info

!

re: maid

Oh! Sorry to hear about that......esp. home sick that will make her doing everything not alright :evil: . If Andrea doesn't like her and she does not perform well........all of you will be very 辛苦呀 :-( !

Have you talked to her? If she still want to work for you and can make improvement, then, you may give her chance. If she herself misses home so much and want to go back, you need to send her back as soon as possible, otherwise, I'm afraid she will bring you even more trouble

!

For part-time, my previous part-time helper told me that we may hire a helper, say from 3pm to 7pm mon-fri, she could do all the household work and cooking the dinner before she leaves. Around $3K-3.5K per mth, but need to have someone matching your requirements.

Hope you can sort out the best solution. Hope to hear good news from you soon la!

Re: 終於?8月做?全職媽媽啦!

Dear All,

Long time no chat lah! How are you all?

babyso, ansonbaby, andiecyw, anton:

Please check email.

babyso,

Thanks for the info.
How's the maid hunting progress? Or you've decided to hire a part-time instead? May God give you the wisdom to deal with this issue and it will be in my prayer too.

ansonbaby,

I think Tasha should be enjoying her school life since she learn to sing "排排坐, 食果果" today and I've never teach her that. Really happy!!
Though I think she still have the seperation anxiety, esp. during morning. Hope she will stop crying soon lah! It's a bit worrying, you know.

Re: 終於?8月做?全職媽媽啦!

Dear friends,

Really long time no talk!! How's all the lovely babies. It's really happy to watch them growing!

Recently Hoi Lam only nap for 2 hours in the morning and quit the afternoon nap. That's why i got so little time to chat w u online. She talks so much (single words) recently, sometimes if i ignore her, i mean if i don't feedback her. She'll repeat and repeat her single words more loudly until i feedback her!!

Hoi Lam still stop me for preparing dinner. Therefore the only way is that i let her stayed in the kitchen to prepare dinner w me. I'll ask her to wash the vegetables for me and i'll cut food beside. Actually she's moving the vegetable fr the sink into the 篩 and back to the sink repeatly.

But when i start to turn on the stove, i've to move her out cause it's too dangerous for her. Then she'll start crying poorly for 15 min. And i get used to it now. At least she won't shout for one hour.

Recently i've read some books about montessori training. Getting baby to involve in the housework will train baby concentration and manner. They even train baby to cut food using knife, but i didn't applied them cause i still think that it's too dangerous.

Re: 終於?8月做?全職媽媽啦!

Hi andiecyw

It's really sweet of LamLam to help you in the kitchen. You're right, I think getting them to involve in the housework is a good 親子活動 as well. Anson likes to help me in folding up the dry clothes after washing, though he's just folding up his own handkerchiefs. That's really sweet looking at him very concentrating on doing 'his job' next to me. And he will help me to put the clothes into the wardrobe, he remembers which drawer is to put what kind of clothes

.

Well, Anson's been sick since last thur. He has fever, sore throat and vomitting. Whatever he ate, he vomitted. That's why these two days, he's just taking very little 粥水 :-( . Really heartbreaking seeing his weight dropping so fast :-( . Really hope that he can get well very very soon!

About montessori training, I don't know much about this training. But last time Anson joined a playgroup which claimed to use montessori teaching kits. One of the exercises. they provide lots of 煮飯仔, and let them chop the plastic foods with the wooden knife. I think most of the kids like to do so. Awaiting for your sharing after you've read more about this topic

!

:-P

Re: 終於?8月做?全職媽媽啦!

andiecyw, ansonbaby,

I saw so video regarding a montessori school, seems very interesting. I think Woodland Group is a very good montessori school in HK, but I don't want to go to Caine Road everyday and let her study in an international school. But I'm also very interested in this topic.
Andiecyw: Awaiting for your sharing too!

Ansonbaby: How's Anson now? Is he feeling any better. We must all be very careful since the weather is changing and flu season is coming soon too. Really heartbreaking even just seeing how you describe. Hope he wil recover soon lah!

Tasha is also sick. She had fever since last Thursday and it seems to have stop from today. Though she is having a cold with imflammed discharges. A sore throat too with a few ulcers in the mouth. She couldn't eat since Saturday, but today seems better too. Thank god that she can resist food so that she still have at least 10 oz of milk a day. :lol: Hasn't been to school since last Friday, I will probably wait for one more day and see. Hope she will not cry again when goes back to school lah!

Hi clic_1221

Sorry to hear that Tasha is sick as well :cry: ! Is she getting better now? That's good that she can have milk even she is sick. Hope that she is better now and goes back to school very soon

.

Anson is OK now. I'll take him to school tomo. He is getting better since monday night. But since he didn't eat much in the last few days, he looked really thin and miserable :-( . So I let him rest 2 more days. And today, he had resumed his energy and played as usual. Thank god! At least he will not miss this mid-autumn festival. He will take a lantern to the school tomo and they will have some celebrations at school. He really misses going to school, always asks me when he can be back to school

!

re: montessori

Oh yes, I won't let Anson study in Woodland group as I'm not intended to let him study international school in the future as well.

Re: 終於?8月做?全職媽媽啦!

ansonbaby,

Glad to hear that Anson is feeling better. Is he eating better too? Tasha has lost some weight too. But she is eating already, thank god!

babyso,

How's HH? Is she better now? We must all be very careful in this weather. Actually, I've decided to take tasha to the doc for the flu vaccine. Don't want to take any risks.

I hope the maid will be better soon, but you know, maid are all like that, even my is quite good already but already starts to reveal her absent-mind side. How's HH adapting to her?

Tasha is much better now. Still have some running nose and a bit of phemlgh. Know how I can get those out? She doesn't know how to cough it out.
