Help's on Vacation

Our domestic help has just started her 2 weeks' vacation, back home in Philippines with her family. Everyone in the family will now have to do their share of housework. It is going to be interesting to see how the girls feel at the end of 2 weeks.

FDW is Here!

My FDW is finally here. :) Both my mother and I are thankful with her arrival as both of us (mainly my mother) have been doing the household chores. In the next month or two, my mother will train our new FDW, Mora on how to cook Chinese dishes, especially the girls' favourite dishes. :)

PS. Several people have asked me how did the girls' father help with the daily housework by going back to his mother's place. Well, he didn't physically do any of the housework. But his logic is: by going home to his mother's every night for dinner and getting his mother to do his laundry until the new FDW arrives, he has cut down on our housework and therefore, he has helped with the housework even though he hasn't lifted a finger to do the daily housework. Some *ixxxxxx* logic huh.

Division of Labour

Our FDW left for her home on the same day the girls and I returned home. The new FDW will only arrive in mid July. As such, we are all chipping in with the housework for the next few weeks.

As my mother is still in Taipei, my father is currently in charge of the cooking and marketing. I help out with the laundry. The girls help by not creating a mess in the apartment lol. The girls' father helped out with the housework by going home to his mother who will do his laundry and for dinner.
