Relief
Our live-in maid left employment on 31 Dec 2012, after 7 years working for us. We made a mistake somewhat of letting her stay too long. She morphed into a tyrant in the house & the older children were literally bullied into doing house work, while she dozes off whenever she feels like it.
Anywhoo, after she left a veil of discontent was lifted (felt like that). Naddy was upset, as she was raised by our maid since birth. Aliya was not, she does not seem to mind. The one remaining issue is their adaptation to pre-school, which is not going on too well at this point.
The older kids were happy, to say the least. They end up with more housework to do (but at least they were not bullied into it) and essentially the energy in the house is much better now.
Personally one of my greatest fears is not being able to cope, but so far so good. Once I go back to work next week I'll have my work (both ends) cut out for me. Whatever it is, I'll channel positive energy into this & focus on doing things well. Soon we'll get used to the routine & be all the better for it. *Fingers crossed*
