Today my heart broke a little bit. It was my little ones first day of preschool and I brought my helper along to assist me. When we were ready to leave, my little one kept bawling away and would not let go of my helper and kept saying "ateh, don't leave me" (ateh is big Sister). I told my baby, ok, mumma can take time off from work and spend with you and she replied, no I want ateh to stay and play with me. I feel jealous and hurt that my baby prefers The Maid to me. Am I being unreasonable? I feel like changing maids.

mm.. well you should manage it. honestly looking at another perspective you know your kid is well taken care by your helper. and your kid is not abuse when you can have more peace of mind at work. however for that you might have taken advantage of yourself having a helper and neglected to spend time with him/her. removing your helper definitely will not bring positivity to your kid growth. what you need it's work on yourself. being parent is tough, we burn ourself to make money, we forfeit our rest and enjoyment that we use to have. that what we do. jia you don't give up!
