With my mil and Char in church, Collin out of town and maid on leave, I spent nearly the whole of Sunday alone with Hong and the 2 girls. It wasn't as bad as I think. Keke. Frankly speaking, I was a little worried. I was not worried about the girls but rather, worried about looking after the girls together with Hong.
.
Maybe as we have so many family members living under one roof, Hong always 'delegate' stuff to others, even looking after Valerie. I used to get pretty frustrated and angry with him. Usually, he will come home complaining tired and then. go for his rest/ nap. After feeling refreshed, he will just go on with his usual activities. No doubt he does play with Valerie but it is never 'proper taking care of her' thingy.
.
Somehow, I feel deprived. Taking today for an example. Though I am on maternity leave, I hardly have time for myself and I seriously hate it when Hong points the finger at me for not doing anything though I am at home the whole day. Though I am at home the whole day, I hardly have time!!! All my time is taken up by the 2 girls. Valerie is so sticky that I can't even go online in peace. She will want to watch her videos when I ever on the comp. How to do anything? Finally when Val went to sleep at 3.30pm just now, Belle started her "session". With my mil accompanying Val for her nap and the maid preparing dinner, I have to coax the crying infant while trying desperately to go online. I am just starting my daily tiny bit of online leisure. I had yet to go into the serious stuff yet. Sigh...
.
Seriously, I can't wait to go back to work. Like I mentioned in my previous post, I can never be SAHM. I will go mad. I will never have the patience to look after them 24/7. I mean I need my own space. I am even typing this entry with Belle sleeping on my lap. Arrgh. Everything is so sucky!
.
Back to yesterday... Hong did much better than I expect. He took care of Val while I was doing my routine stuff, taking care of Belle and doing that little bit of housework. Thanks Darl.

To think of it... It has been ages since I last do any housework. I used to clean my own room, wash the dishes and a bit of other housework at home. Since we have a maid, there is no need to do anything. However, I will seriously prefer not to have a maid. In fact, I believe the house will be neater and cleaner without a maid. With reference to my current maid, the kind of housework she does is so slipshod. I seriously do not understand why she just cannot follow instructions on a long term basis. I told her before to clean the room thoroughly on a weekly basis. She will do it for 2 weeks and then that's it! Then I have to instruct her again and the cycle just continues. The cleaning is not thorough also. I see the room in the same mess after cleaning. On a few occasions, I do clean the room thoroughly myself but it doesn't make sense for me to do it that often when we have a maid. Right? Even the keeping of clothes bother me. Our dear maid will always help to keep our clothes in the cupboard. I can understand if she doesn't know how we keep the folded clothes so I do not mind when she just chuck the whole pile in the cupboard. However, I do mind when she chuck almost the whole pile (comprise of Hong's and my clothes) in my section and somehow put another 2 pieces of MY clothes in Hong's section. Seriously, anyone can tell by one glance that the upper deck is my section and the lower deck is Hong's section. I seriously give up on her and I can't be bothered to instruct her. At this point, I only want to see all the surfaces clean. I can't wait to send her back when her contract is up. I can't wait to have a clean house after she is gone. For the sake of a clean and really dust-free house, I do not mind doing housework.

I think I am in my bad mood again. :(
