well, it’s a long long long story which i’m too lazy to expound on. actually i’ve already expounded it to the death before this haha.
here’s the short version.
- we applied for a maid.
- etha*n went back to sabah with my parents for 3 weeks.
- he came back to kl again with my mom.
- the maid finally came, 2 months late.
- she was real crap.
- she ran away.
- we were relieved haha…
- we found a babysitter.
- but we still have to look for a maid for the long term.
so that’s the story. it has been many months of heart-sickness for us. what with the h1n1 situation limiting our choices. our first option was just to send him to a nursery. he could make friends which he’ll love. but then the schools & universities started closing. & we got a bit worried for obvious reasons. so, back to the drawing board. i drove around the neighbourhood looking for babysitters. driving and squinting my eyes looking at those hand-made signboards you know. lorry for rent. pajak gadai. personal loans etc. sigh…
then, one night as i got into the apartment lift, i bumped into a neighbour whose mother i knew was a housewife. i just didn’t know whether she was already taking care of her own grandkids. & i asked. & she said yes. its no wonder they say, “if you don’t ask, you wont know”.
so, to those of you with childcare issues: good luck & remember, ask & ye shall find.
