I'm a parent of 3 and both my husband and i are working hard to
pay off our housing debt. To take care of my children during my
working hours, i hired a maid about 3 years ago.
However, it has become increasingly evident that my kids are
more attached to the maid than me! They always talk with the maid
and when i try to talk to them, they either give me short answers
or just stare blankly at me. I feel frustrated and so does my
husband.
Sometimes I feel like sacking the maid and hiring another one,
so that at least i become the more 'familiar' person to them in the
house. However, i don't think my kids are willing to part with my
maid so easily... Can anyone tell me how to deal with this??? thx
alot in advance
You are a selfish parent.. even your posting reeks of
selfishness.
It's not all about you .
A child needs someone "stable" in their life.
Unfortunately, your maid has become the anchor in their life
because of your absence. And now you want to deprive them of that
person who gave them stability and comfort when they needed it most
. Selfish freak !
You can keep changing maids to ensure they don't become too
attached to a maid. But a maid to them is just a PERSON.
Do you really think the kids are going to be so grateful you had
to pay off a mortgage that is out of your means ?
They don't care even if they had to live in a cardbox , as long
as the most important person in their life is there to be with
them.
Think before you commit more selfish acts that will make the
kids hate you more.
