That nite, hb made a decision that he no longer need a maid in the house. He juz cant tolerate all the troubles that my maid had made since her stay. At first he decided to put both my boys in my MIL's care but I totally protest bcos my MIL has another grandson to look after and I dnt tink she can handle another 2 more boys in the house. It will definately be chaos! If that the case, hb said then we sent the kids to childcare. At least the kids are looked after properly and at the same time receive education rather than stay at home and play toys most of the time. This part I agree with him but who will send and fetch them from school? My hb is on shift duty and myself I got 3 rotating shifts (8am-5pm,830am-530pm & 930am-6.30pm). I told hb that on Monday(11/1/2010) I will discuss with my Sister Irene (my clinic manager) whether I can take permanent 930am-630pm shift so that I got the time to send the kids to childcare. Then we will arrange for the kids to take school transport from school to my IL's place after they hv finished their classes. At least my MIL doesnt feel the pressure of having the kids. The next day (Thursday 7/1/2010), I look in the internet for the nearest childcare that hv vancancy for K2 and Playgroup range. Mostly are fully booked and are on long waiting list.Even the hospital that I'm working at, I've to wait quite long as the waiting list are as long as 200 students waiting for entry. I called so many centres but was turn down most of the time. Some centres that I called hv vacancy for Playgroup but not K2 slot or vice versa. It's quite frustrating for me as I wanted to put both my boys under the same centre. Then when Hb came back from work, I told him about the childcare situation. He suggested that we called Jamiyah Childcare where Khairi used to be in. I called the centre but the principal, Mdm Faridah wasnt around and was advised to call back the next day.
So on Friday (8/1/2010) morning, I called the Jamiyah Childcare Centre but Mdm Faridah was busy and I asked her whether is it possible for me to come down personally to discuss about my children's situation and she agreed. After sending Khairi to school, both hb & I went to Jamiyah Childcare in Ang Mo Kio. I told her about my whole situations and she was kind enough to take my boys in. Alhamdullillah..syukur.Even though there are some on waiting list, she actually told me that priority was given to the ex-students who wanted to came back to Jamiyah and since my case is considered Urgent, she put me on 1st priority which means that my kids will be able to join Jamiyah Childcare the earliest will be end of Jan. That means I've to wait about 2 weeks or more. I told her I dnt mind waiting but not more than 2 months cos we juz wanna send my troublemaker maid home as soon as possible. She gave me her words that both my kids will be able to join latest in Feb and she wants me to pay all the deposits by end of Jan. I was really gratefully for her help that I broke down when she assured me abt my kids' situations. So I called my maid agency that I need to retain my maid for now till my kids are settled and she was fine with it.
When I told my maid about the whole situation today, she was fine with it but when I told her that this month she will not get her off day and we will pay for it, she protest. She demanded that she wanted to go on her off day on 17th cos she said she need to see her fren who lends her the SIM card cos that fren of hers borrowed $100 from her. Firmly I told her off and said No. If her fren wants to return her her money and wanted her SIM card back, she can jolly well find my maid at the maid agency on her last day for all I care I told her. I told my maid from 2morrow onwards, she have to call me before she go and sent/fetch Khairi to/from school and call me again after reaching home sending/fetching Khairi to/from school. I ever instructed her to do that before but she only do it for only 1 month after that terus senyap tak buat lagi. I told her this time I'm really serious abt it and me or hb will give a call home every hour to make sure that the household phone works cos if not, she will not be able go home this month which she requested from the agent.
For now, I'm trying to coax Raiyan to sleep with me cos most of the time he slept with my maid as my queen bed cant fit 4 pple sleeping on it. Now hb have to make sacrifice of having to sleep on the mattress till everything backs to normal again. I tink after the maid hv left, I hv to train the kids to sleep on their own especially Khairi who is afraid to be left alone in a dark room. Dear frens, I hope that you pray that everything will go smoothly for me.I think for now, me and hb are having phobia of hiring a maid.I've to settled of not having a maid for now but when Khairi goes to Primary 1 next year, both Hb & I really need to think thoroughly whether we need a maid to help us out. Ya Allah...hanya padaMU ku meminta pertolongan. Aku harap Kau permudahkanlah perjalanan hamba mu ini Ya Allah.Amin
