The first one was 40 years old and I was clueless at first how to handle maid but she was very good with housechores since she had 2 previous employees but after a year she got a letter asking her to go home to attend her child. She didn't come back.<BR/><BR/>We had a break for 8 months without a maid; it was tough and i hadn't time to look for the children's homework. So, we took in a new maid last january; a fresh, younger maid - 27yo. So far, she's okay though she didn't know how to cook much. Alhamdulillah so far she's an obedient person.<BR/><BR/>-onde-IKHWANIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799955044908821667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898050915298882074.post-33303363575042297252007-06-17T08:49:00.000+08:002007-06-17T08:49:00.000+08:00I consider myself quite an expert on maids.

Some were like jewels to me, some I could still remember their faces, some I could not remember or would not like to be reminded of. During all those years of raising my children, I did not totally left my kids with the maids. The children slept in my room until the third baby came along. There was an exception of Alan, the eighth child. I was not well after his birth, so he was left to the maid for many months. The result of that was not good.Mak Tehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06455693783204170638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898050915298882074.post-30089771906143332192007-06-16T19:59:00.000+08:002007-06-16T19:59:00.000+08:00this is a critical issue, i do agree here about ho...this is a critical issue, i do agree here about how many times do our children spend their time with the maid and we should as much as we can allocate time for our children.<BR/><BR/>i took maid when i already have 4 children that is when my eldest started her Year 1 in 2005 and so far, I never let them to sleep with their bibik, I am still the Cook of the House and am still wake up at 5am to prepare the family's breakfast and the children's bekal. <BR/><BR/>In terms of bahasa, it is well known children are like sponge, the absorb quickly and precisely...i think it is a pity for those who let their bibik supplant their role as parents; my kids sometimes do jokingly mimicking their bibik's lingo eg "mau apa dong", or "nggak tau sih" i think somehow it's cute. :D<BR/><BR/>p/s: i'd like to attend the talk at al-ameen if the date and time is convenience - will give them a call. <BR/><BR/>-ondeonde-IKHWANIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799955044908821667noreply@blogger.com
