I have been out from hospital for almost a week already and now I am all alone with help of my mil to cook for me. Adel was warded for Photo therapy for the pass 2 days. She is much better now; she drank a lot and poo a lot too. Everything is fine until my maid told me about the smoke in our 3rd floor. SMOKE! Ciggy smokes that my confinement lady left. Sri observed her for 2 days when we were out at the hospital to make sure she doesn’t wrongly accuse her. She also found cigarette in her bag that was left open. SHOCKING! Who on earth would suspect a confinement lady smokes? It’s as worst as a surgeon having shaky hands.
I was resting most of the time and didn’t pay much attention to details. When these things were spotted, there were more to come from my mil. She said she was shocked too to find out my confinement lady serve me cool tofu from the fridge; when she asked her to warm it up, cl said no need one, nowadays we are modern one unless “I” ask her to warm up. She also noticed my cl doesn’t use a single drop of saseme oil on her cooking. Other then that, she uses tap water to cook red dates water for me instead of our filter water even though Sri told her a few times that we don’t cook with tap water. Unfortunately she refuses to listen until we took action.
Enough is enough, sigh! Kena scolding samo from hubby saying why I let her climb over our head so on the day we found out the ugly truth we fired her. She was shocked, apologized and said she would change and that she never smoke in our house. Well it’s only understandable that she denied it. Who on earth would hire a smoking CL if it was told prior to hiring? She appears jitter too and always rushing me and hubby to finish our food so that she could eat and relax and perhaps go smoking. Anyway, my body is pretty weak right now due to lack of sleep. My new CL is here already; I hope she would take good care of me.
Here I just want to warn whoever that has taken contact from me that if you have hired her, you might want to reconsider your options. So beware la. My hubby asked me to share this so that she won’t hurt anyone as it can be bad for the mother if she falls into wrong hands of an unprofessional CL.

So horrible. But if you have MIL to help cook and a maid to do the cleaning, why need to pay for CL? Anwya it’s good you have found a replacement CL
July 23rd, 2007 at 2:29 pm
Now, a smoking confinement lady? That’s unheard of! Where did you find her? Good that you managed to find a replacement so quickly. What’s done is done. Don’t stress yourself out over it anymore. Good to highlight this so others will be more careful when looking for a CL.

I had a CL who smoked too and she even took naps when Des was sleeping in the afternoon. Pappy and I were really out of our minds then to have kept her for 1 month cos we couldn’t find another one to replace her.
Good dat u are able to replace her. Hope the new one knows her work as a good CL, what she should and should not do.
July 24th, 2007 at 10:46 am
