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.

Hugs... I totally feel you but I dun have a maid to be jealous of. I m jealous of my hubby. My elder boy always prefer my hubby. From making milk, making him sleep & going out, he always prefer daddy. sometime when daddy need to work late or out for meeting, he will cry very badly & insist I call daddy to come home immediately. I feel very sad most of the time but keep it to myself. to my boy, I always play the bad guy at home, daddy is good guy. daddy always look after him since he was born, making sure he get his milk every nite since birth. I reflected & try to spend some night time to study with him & weekend to play with him. you can do it too. mayb take a day off once in a while to spend time alone with ur child & weekend leave all household chores to ur helper to do while u spend time with ur child. every second is precious & is memorable for urself & child.
