As a working mum, I rely a lot on my helper. But recently she has reduced the menu at home to the same 5 dishes day after day. I am too busy to cook, and I really can't have her leave right now. What do I do?

You could ask her the reason why she limited the options for your weekly menu. There could be a lot of reasons like a. she have observed that these five dishes are the top most favourite; or b. she is running out of ideas on what to cook and figured that having a repetitive menu is the answer. You may want to give her different quick and easy cook books or let her watch cooking demos on her free time and challenge her to create at least two new dish per week. Let her know that this is also for her benefit as she can explore and enhance more of her cooking skills.
