Dear mummies do u feel stress or tends to blame yourself when your kid gets attached to your maid? pls teach me how to handle this situation? i'm a shift working mummy with three rotating shift.. Pls help cos i felt so sad when my kids attach to my maid.

I know how you feel. I teach 8-12 hrs @ week at polytechnic and though I spend a lot of time with my kids, they do run to my helper for food or just comfort when I 'punish' them :). To me, it's acceptable. My helper helps me since they were born - when I am out with my hubby or work, she's there for them. What differentiates mummy and maid is nightime - they want me and papa. You see, I have never allowed any of my children to sleep with maids, whether I work full time or part time. As for play, it's mummy too - helper is there to feed and babysit when I am busy. my advice- start with play ;)
