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.

I think you should feel blessed that your child likes the helper. It means the helper treats her well when they are alone that's why your child likes her. I know it's heart-wrenching to see your kid prefers a stranger. Try to spend more time with her. A mom will always be a mom. The helper can never take your place. Good luck!
