Any parents here have children and are without the help of either own parents or parent-In-laws? I'm in this situation. Hubby and I are on our own and I'm almost worn out liao. Use to have maid but she stole my things and I sent her back. After that have phobia having maid cos previous maid really gives me a lot of prob. My mom's two maids also created a lot of prob. So I have a bad bad phobia about getting a maid. I have two kids aged 5 and 10 months old. I'm a working mom too. Day time kids go to childcare and infant care. Otherwise, we handle on our own and I feel very worn out. Anybody same situation as me? Can share how u cope?

I'm in the same situation as u. A part time helper comes in to clean our house on weekends and though we dont get daily help from my inlaws and parents, i dump the kids with them on ocassional weekends to get some breathing space to myself. Hang in there mummy! The kids will grow up in no time and be easier to manage. Jia you!!

I'd love to hear more about the cleaning robot. We never had a maid, no relatives in the country, but someone who does the ironing at least. Wish there were robots for that, too.
