Helper

Mummies who have helper, can u share the roles of a helper? Does she take care of yr LO all the time (weekdays and weekends) or only when u are working? Does she do housework too? As now I am WFH, it is quite unclear to me as my helper takes care of my LO all the time and I only want her to take care while I am working, husband disagrees. Also walking to my PIL hse, my helper keep say she want to carry but I insist it is ok..if she carry den I'll be the one carrying diaper bags and stuffs, is this funny? 1st time hiring helper and 1st time mum so not too sure wad to expect. I am asking these as I am managing expectations so that helper does not take over the role of a mum. Thanks.

Your helper should adhere to what you need to do. If you wanna take care of the baby while she does the hsechores, then she should follow. YOU set the rules, NOT her. Be firm otherwise she wont respect you. Of course don't be harsh lah haha. You should carry the baby outside and she carries the stuff. If you can carry some then carry some. She should listen to you. You need to bond with the baby more than her.

Agree mummy, I should bond with baby more than her. Sigh my this helper is giving me troubles. She only started work on her 2nd week now, on the 1st week she keep requesting this and that, from food we should buy to her liking to buying her own necessities. Also, she kept taking baby away from me..I have rejected her too many times and getting tired like why can't she be automatic and know her place as a helper.
