Kaya mo bang walang katulong/driver (househelp)

[mdrl]

yep, i can. pag wala ka na kasing helper, matututo ka na ng mg agawain eh. dati i refuse to learn how to drive, ngayon napilitan na. necessity eh 

[red_rose]

[mommy_cel]

@sis jiffy..same here! almost 2 months na..though it's really better if may maid na matino. I really pray that I will land on a good maid. We do the same thing, pa laundry shop ko ang mga damit namin. At least, less na ang workload ko. And true, I made big savings sa expenses namin especially the groceries and electricity.

[Amphitrite]

Kaya naman, dalhin ko na lang sa laundry shop yung labada. Di kasi pwede ma-stress yung likod ko dahil sa scoliosis, sobrang bilis sumakit nung buto.

[jiffy]

has anybody heard of mrs goods maid service? nakita ko sya dati sa web but the contact numbers aren't working na... gusto ko sana magpalinis ng house maski 2x a month lang...

[charmed_chic]

Walang helper, kayang-kaya though I lived half of my life with a yaya. But walang driver, I can't. It's because I don't know how to drive yet. Whenever I want to go somewhere, nagpapasama ko kay boyfie since may sasakyan din sya. If hindi naman siya pwede, I commute..

[Saint_Sinner]

At first di ko kaya. We've been with our yaya for almost 9 years, and 21 na'ko ngayon. so halos half of my life, she's there for us.


It's really hard especially coz we really treated her like a member of the family na.


Pero, eventually naka move on din ako. Now, my mom's incharge sa household chores, though i help her pag weekend. pag day off. Though it's so tiring.

[ravena]

yes. i do all the laundry and chores in the house.

[jaydeerpg]

Super hirap pero my goal is to bring up my kids completely independent from yayas and maid.  This is going to be a big task for me as I myself is so dependent on maids to do the laundry and housecleaning for me, pero kakayanin for the sake of my kids.

Yung mga yaya ko now, they are trained not to spoil my kids, just to help them with things they still can't do and to teach them age-appropriate tasks/chores. 

[mikelly]

There are times na sumasama loob ko sa mga helpers due to some reasons and they end up leaving.  Common reasons are inaccuracy.  Nung nawala yung maid ko, ako na gumawa ng household chores like laundry, cleaning ng house, etc.  in fairness kaya ko naman kasi I used to clean our house when I was a kid as taught by my mom, kunbaga, it's not hard na for me to adjust pag walang maid. 

But since I have a kid and I am working at night, night shift kasi ako, I thought kaya ko since alternate kami ng hubby ko and I am used to all the household stuff but I realized na nasu-suffer naman yung time ko to rest.  Ang hirap pagsabayin pati yung time ng daughter ko pag gising siya kasi kelangan nyang matulog sa afternoon because matutulog na rin ako and I cannot sleep pag gising siya.  So hindi tuluy-tuloy sleep ko.

My husband suggested to get another maid na para hindi na rin ako naiistorbo when I sleep and para hindi rin sila nahihirapan sa gabi.  Hopefully I can find na makakasundo ko.  Ang hindi ko lang gusto pag younger sa kin is text addict, pag older naman sa min is they have their own way / schedule when they want to do the stuff.  It is not also easy to compromise with older ones.

[lilsaintsm0m]

Kinakaya.! Had bad experiences with maids. Had 7 maids in 7months.Ninakawan pa kami ng 3 cellphones. Kaya kahit hirap tiyaga nlang. Sakit talaga sila sa ulo. I do the laundry, the cleaning, the cooking take care of the dog take care of my 3year old son.

Chumy chumy kasi husband ko sa maid ako naman mahilig mag chika chika.  Feeling ata nila tropa namin sila dahil 22 at 24 lang kami.

Ang dating prinsesa ngayon ulaga na hahahaha.

[mikelly]

lilsaintsm0m, saan mo nakuha mga maids mo na nikawan kayo?  so scary to have "others" at home tapos mga demonyo pala. Hay!!

[pinkk]

I dont have kids, so I can cope without a maid , when i had recuperation from operation last year, i borrowed a friends maid for two months.Pro(quick errands) and cons with maids, you need to keep an eye on everything she does

[hannabishi]

My answer is a resounding YES! I'm so proud of myself lately. I moved in kasi to a 1BR apartment. No roomies. I do everything. Cleaning, laundry, cooking, etc. May dishwasher built in sa unit but I have one set of dining ware as of the moment so I don't bother using it. =)

[lilsaintsm0m]

mikelly kakilala kasi [textspeak!] isa from the province she took 3 cellphones and 2 watches. Sira kasi [textspeak!] ipod ko kaya di na niya kinuha! Unbelievable! Di na namin inenspect bags niya cause di naman namin akalain. The other one naman sa agency puro clothes pinagkukuha all of them were b-new bought from the U.S. Unti unting ipinuslit pag ngdaday-off bongga sila!

[thansher01]

a big YES! full time mom to a 2 year old lil' boy and wifey. time management lang talaga. i'd rather stay sa house and do all the household chores instead na magpasweldo ng pasaway na maid. saka mas madaling kumilos alone. wala kang iintindihin na baka may masira sa appliances mo sa house kasi yung maid hindi sumusunod sa instructions kung pano gamitin. saka mabusisi din ako sa house. pag hindi ko gusto yung trabaho gagawin ko ulit. so what's the purpose na mag-maid, right? kaya ako na lang. uso rin kasi yung kasabwat yung maid sa crimes. ayoko yung may ini-intiding ganun.

[val]

2 months now na walang maid. Okay lang. Went to my son's school with my 5-month old baby and hindi ako nag iisa. Share-share din kami ng mga experiences ng mga maids and how to survive.
Peaceful ang bahay ko kung walang maid kahit super kakapagod.
