OFFICIALLY....

MAIDLESS! This is the 2nd week I am without a maid.

Malas bebenor nak citer pasal maid ni. Betul punya malas... But I have decided that I am not taking any maid at the moment. Maybe next year ke... next 2 year ke... dunno lah.

At the moment, I am happy and managing my time well. Unlike when our good maid left for home in July. I was kancheong. I could not manage the housework, the work and the kids. But this time, Alhamdulillah I am able to do it. InsyaAllah things will be better for me.

I have thought about it many times, abt getting a new maid but at the end of it all.. i have decided... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! NOT WORTH IT!!!! BUAT BAIK PUN TAK GUNA PAT DORANG NI TAUUUU!!!  hahahahah.

So I rather use that money to give my baby an education. ekkekeke. We registered him in the Montesorri Integrated Program class for 3 hours (Monday to Friday) where our money will be berbaloi... wakakaka.

Today is his 5th lessons. He is picking up fast and adjusting himself well in class... the only one in class... actually. But he gets to mix with older kids - 3 to 5 yrs old for other activities.So every morning, I will sent Ashraf and Aaron to school. Go home to cook, clean, check my emails and ahemm.. today I had a short nap.. hahah. Picked Aaron up from school at 11.30am and then Ashraf at 12noon. Went to coffee-shop, bought chicken rice and fed them before sending Ashraf to his Montessori Class at 12.30pm. Went home, showered Aaron and put him to sleep.  I am not complaining... I am contented.

Amirul and Azirul are back now from school. Showered, prayed and finished lunch. Now doing homework while I check and reply emails. Later at 3.15pm will go pick Ashraf from school. This will be my chores everyday. Yes, I do feel tired but no heart ache. Weekend, boys and hb wash the toilets.

I am doing my own cleaning, washing and ironing. At my own pace. Whenever I like... as long as my house is clean... I am happy. I pray that Allah gives me the strength and health to do what I like... for my family.

Friends, please pray for me too... thanks!!!!

Marlisa Taufik said...

InsyaAllah you can do it sis. Lagipun ur boys pun dah besar kan except Aaron. Memang penat tapi lebih penat layan kerenah maid yang buat perangai. Me too give up on taking maid long ago. Balik kerja buat kerja rumah and masak. Badan tak larat tapi hati lebih senang. hehehe

Lynn A said...

InsyaAllah... Lyndy BOLEH... (self motivate)..heheh

Lynn A said...

YES! YES! IF RINA CAN DO.. LYNN ALSO CAN...LOLZ

Lynn A said...

Mmg betul sis... penat tu penat. tapi puas hati. No extra person to take care of, to cook for, to worry for and no extra mouth to feed. hehehehe...
Most important kids are well taken care of.

Insya-Allah you can face it without The Maids....:-)

Ellis Sapari said...

Insya Allah.. you can do it. I'm happy for you sis. If given the choice I don't want to employ any more maid. Dah lah tak tahan with kerenah maid, now have to layan kerenah maid agency. Till now
I didn't get the replacement maid which I have chosen on the 21 Dec. One after another excuses they gave me. Sigh....

Faezah & Khairul said...

Dont worry Sis, you can do it .!

I did ..12 years without maid .......

Shaikha Mom said...

Lynn boleh !!!
Sure u can sis... InsyaAllah.
Sure a bliss and peaceful to be able to manage without a maid at home... InsyaAllah, my time will come too ;)

Lynn A said...

InsyaAllah... The Maids ni smua menyeramkan and mengeramkan..hahahahha

Lynn A said...

Alahai... same here sis. Maid agency pun menyakitkan hati. Nak duit tapi tak nak work properly. Dah naik malas dgn dorang ni. Y dont you change to another agency? Heard that Aza Maid Agency (pat Kembangan Plaza) is good and cheap... dunno betul ke tak... but try lah.

Lynn A said...

good for you sis.

mmg kalau tak ada baby I can manage. I did that when I was in Penang.. alone lagi. But now since I can put Aaron to school... it's the best choice to be maidless...kekekeke.

Lynn A said...

InsyaAllah...

Mmg peaceful without the stranger. Mmg lah stranger ni yg kemas dan bersihkan rumah and jaga anak kita tapi more often than not...they are the ones that cause us to have heart attack! Shai, bukan kita pat sini jer face their nonsense. My friends from Indonesia also... lagi country ppl. Worst dorang kasi attitude problem. Haizzz...

Linda S said...

No worries my prayers with you Lyn. It felt so good right without a maid. I believe you can do without a maid, managed your time for housework, kids and yourself for sure you will feel no stress at all.

Lynn A said...

that is the motivation to keep me going...biar penat hati tak sakit. Hati tak bimbang and wire jantung pun tak putus...hahahaha.

Lynn A said...

InsyaAllah.... doakan i yerrr

Lynn A said...

InsyaAllah...
MMg betul sis, tiap kali kluar rumah kita bimbangkan anak anak ngan maid. Tiap kali dorang yg kluar rumah kita pun bimbang pasal dorang. Da lah.. never ending story.
Yes, kids will learn to be independent. Lagi lagi boys.. nanti pi NS teruklah dorang. Now they have to make their own bed... without fail. Kalau maid ada.. kenkadang skip.. action lupa. now cannot lupa. Siap suara tarzan!!!
And lepas makan must must wash their own plates. Wash their own shoes (even when maid was here), wash their toilet, some times they will sweep and help me mop the floor. And fold the clothes if I am busy cooking or with Aaron.
Slowly but surely...they will get used to all this. Cooking blum lagi...heheheh... sooonnnn

Lynn A said...

Thanks sis. It surely feels good without a problematic maid. Stress tu mmg tak bleh lari.. but lebih baik dari stress kerana maid. hahah.
Pray that Allah always bless me with health and strength. Amin.

Ellis Sapari said...

This my last replacement with them. I tak leh go other agency if not my advance pay with them they forfeited 2mths. sabar ajerlah jawabnya.... thks for the info.
