Hi, my child does not seem to like to go to school. She's now in K1. She keeps crying whenever she reaches school and sometimes even all the way to school. I have tried to ask her many times the reason why she does not want to go but always do not get a proper answer from her.

we can just write to MOM to blacklist a maid?

May I ask how much your maid is getting per month? My Phil maid gets $370 ($300 which I pay my agent for 7 months and another $70 which my maid gets as pocket money.) I feel that my agent is overcharging me. This is already on top of the agent fee and the repatriation of the previous maid...

hi mummie, I would like to bring in my previous maid from the Philippines. Was thinking of getting the help from an agency to save the hassle. Tried to PM you but you did not turn on your PM. Can PM me? Thanks.

I'm not sure if this has been asked before.... I am currently using a helper engaged from an agency but want to get back my previous maid who went back to the Philippines after her 2-yr contract ended last year. Have contacted the maid and she's keen to come back. So in this case, I want to...

The mentality of the maid will always be like that - the grass is always greener. My maids have always had a good life in my household. They get to eat full meals sometimes even more than we do. They eat dinner before me and my husband reach home, after my in-laws and baby have eaten. They...

Hi, Has anyone gotten your maid from this agency called Home Maid at Katong Shopping Centre? My uncle has been getting relatively good maids from there. Or maybe he's just lucky.. Thanks.

i want to read what's written in the blog but can't access leh.. Need special invitation to get in?

I also do not condone maid abuse but I think there must be a reason for the employer to behave this way. The article can never paint the full picture of the circumstances surrounding the incident. In any case, it's not worth it to lay a finger on our domestic helper as ultimately, we'll be at...

Hi Nora, If you had really forgotten about the appt, perhaps you shld have explained to her when she came by instead of pretending you were not at home. I suppose if you were in her shoes you'd be angry too?

san, My maid handwashes all her clothes, pillow case and thin blanket. The washing machine is only for my family use. After washing, she also uses her own bamboo poles to dry her clothes. We use a different colour to separate the bamboo poles. Clothes pegs wise we all share, but she...

Went for a detailed scan last week. Having another girl. Kind of disappointed coz wanted a boy. I know it's ridiculous to feel that way but just wanted to be frank to myself. Family is ok with girl but I know they wanted a boy too. After admiting to it, I also know that I will love the baby as...

Hi mummies, Is the detailed scan only recently introduced? I din recall having one at my 5th month in my first pregnancy. Aways the normal and routine scans leh.. and how detailed is it? Thanks!

Good Morning Mummies. Hope all of you are well. Haven't been posting lately coz just posted to new dept and lots of things to learn and follow up. Saw this article in the Straits Times today and want to share with you.. ************************************ Oct 12, 2007 Lipsticks...
