Kaya mo bang walang katulong/driver (househelp)

[janelle0826]

kaya naman...kaso i have to sacrifice my career. kelangan munang magtyaga na mag home based or part time para mabigyan ng time ang household chores and baby. ipapaubaya ko muna ang pagtatrabaho kay hubby. 

[rheagirl]

kaya naman. kaso miserable ang life without them.

[gab54]

hindi ko kaya, i dont know how to cook, clean, drive... puro business lang ang inatupag ko all this time 

[bratty]

Kaya ko naman, kaso mas gusto may hh para sa mga araw na tinatamad ako. hehe

during college, i lived in an apartment with a yaya, it was my parents' decision to hire a yaya kasi nakita nila hirap ko esp when i go on almost 36 hours of duty...but after a year i decided to let her go coz mas nakunsumi pa ako nung nandun sya (mas maarte pa sa akin )  so for years i lived alone, kaya ko lahat ng household chores except laundry...now that im already married and with a baby, di ko na yata kaya without helper...actually kaya ko with just one all-around helper who will do the chores kasi sahm naman ako so i can devote my time   taking care of baby at sayang pa ibabayad sa yaya pero it was hubby and MIL who decided to hire a yaya pa

[snowyice]

lumaki na maraming katulong sa paligid. I never really thought of not having any helper around but more than a year na akong walang helper at first nakakayamot kasi naman lahat ako ang gumagawa pero ngayon parang I can't afforf na with a helper around kasi designed na ang house ko na walang helper as in mga important things kung saan saan ko lang nilalagay and kung may nahulog man na important kahit next time na hanapin hehe!!!!

[^kaedee^]

Since our family migrated a year ago (hubby, 2 boys - 3 and 5 years old) , wala kame katulong. Full time din ang work namen ni hubby. Sobrang hirap pero kaya naman. Yun nga lang, we sacrifice a lot of time talaga lalo na ako kase instead na makipagbonding ako sa mga kids ko paguwi after work or sa weekend, wala akong ibang ginagawa kung hindi gumawa ng household chores. Ang pahinga ko lang talaga is kapag natutulog, namamalantsa (since nakatayo lang, medyo relaxed) at bumabyahe papunta at pauwi galing work (ang byahe ko kase is more than an hour).

Pero kung afford lang namen kumuha ng help dito, we will definitely get one

I grew up, me and my siblings with 2 nannies and 1 helper Na weekly pumupunta samin to do the laundry and help maglinis. Ngayong married Na ko Nd wala pa naman kaming young ones, dati may 1 kaming helper pero mas nahirapan ako nung nandito siya. Idk ha pero parang mas nahirapan akong kumilos. SAHW ako so kaya ko. Feeling ko nga mas ok pa eh.

[starrr]

no. haha! with the baby and all. ang hirap ng ako lang.

[oktoberfest22]

kaya naman namin ng walang yaya, kasi si hubby, home-based ang work, ako lang ang full-time sa office. kaya lang that would mean giving up a lot of romantic time for hubs and I. di na kami makakapag-date. 2 yo pa lang kasi ang youngest.

[pretty_in_victorian]

yes! ngayon nga wala si Manang eh.. 15 days na..

[ravena]

yup, 3-4 years na! at wala pa akong nakikitang marunong maglinis/laba.

[bachoi]

4 days na kong walang yaya pero kinakaya ko naman. yun nga lang sobrang kulang ako sa tulog lalo na at sa gabi ako nagtatrabaho then sa umaga alaga ng baby, linis ng house at luto.

[mommy.iSKA]

kaya naman. almost 3 years na kami walang helper sa house. kala ko di ko kaya kasi laki ako sa yaya, pero kaya ko naman pala. matinding time management nga lang talaga ang kailangan at sacrifices din. i work from home full-time.

[twelvth_goddess]

I think pag SAHM kaya naman but since my husband and I are both working, hinde namin kaya even if we live with my mom and sister.

Pero pag lumalabas kame, kaya namin na walang kasamang yaya pero mahirap lang pag kumakain.

[hunny_ally]

^Im a SAHM pero hindi ko kaya both alaga and clean the house. if alaga solely, no problem. but if you factor in the other chores in the house, di ko kakayanin. Im very particular kasi sa linis ng bahay. Ang dusty pa naman ditto sa Manila. Di ka Lang makati is ng isang araw, ang kapal na ng dust.

[candid_girl]

yes... kung SAHM ako

[guilleanne]

I am without yaya for 3 months now, and naka adjust na kami sa bahay. Work from home ako and flexible and time ko sa work so carry ko.

I just invested on an automatic washing machine, hang on steam iron, at yung umiikot na mop. hahaha. tapos we have a schedule of chores plus maintainance talaga, we don't let the clutters get out of hand kasi mas nakakatamad linisin pag tambak na.

now I try to compute are monthly budget, ang laki ng binababa since wala ng hh, nasa more or less 7k ang natipid ko, (with food budget, cleaning supplies, electricity bill, water bill and less or walang nasisirang gamit) not including the 3k sahod ng yaya so mga 10k ang tipid.

parang ayaw ko na kumuha ng yaya ulit.

[bellapot]

I tried going without any househelp for awhile since I'm just a SAHM. It was tough, but kaya naman so long as my husband is willing to help. But since he made it clear na ayaw na niya makitulong sa paglinis ng house, then I would find it difficult to go without hh again. I think it is easier if you have your husband or another family member to help you since you all live in the same house. Medyo feeling kasi to si husband eh, masyado mataas ang standards. Kala mo minsan madami kami pera, eh hindi naman. Since willing naman niyang paggastusan ang hh, sige, hinahayaan ko na lang. But when it comes to a point na biglang magpapaalam na rin umalis ang present na hh ko ngayon, I won't get na talaga another one. Sis Guilleanne has a very good point. Malaki talaga tipid pag walang hh. My hh pa naman, takes a bath twice a day, her second bath pa, almost one hour pa siya nasa CR kasi ang arte mag alaga sa buhok. 

[chicafabulosa]

I dont have a househelp for almost 2 years now. yung last na help ko, di na bumalik after na magbakasyon sa kanila. well at least wala akong sakit ng ulo. however minsan mahirap rin. lucky lang ako because I have my mom and tita to look after my kid. my mom and i do the household chores and my tita take care of my son and also does cooking
