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?

Big hugs to you mommy. It is definitely not easy. Since day time kids go to hold are and infantcare, is it possible for Once a week to ask you mom or in laws to look after them even for just half a day? Or to lessen your load get a part time helper to help with the chores. Infant care is half day on Saturdays? That should buy you more time to rest? I am taking care my gal on my own for a year.my husband is based overseas so I do not have anyone to help me when baby is sick or if I wanna move heavy things or buy baby stuffs I have to do all on my own. I stay with my parents but they are old and they already have a other three grandkids to look after so I try not to trouble them too much. I have not gone back to work yet. Once a week my mil looks after my gal for 1.5 days and she even stays overnight with my mil. Initially I was against the idea of getting mil to help but I really can't take it. If anyone is willing to help you babysit for a few hours I think it will be good even if it is to babysit the elder one only
