Nursery or No Nursery
Alhamdulillah, our maid has arrived last week. I can now have my peaceful weekend, yeay!
So far, I have no complains but hey, its been only a week. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this one will be better than our previous one. Kalau tak memang sakit hati.
Actually, to be honest, I kinda miss our maidless times. Even tho kehidupan adalah sangat2 susah without one, tapi susah2 pun I'm with my family without any strangers at home. Without any strangers I have to care for.
Eh aku ni memang suka tulis chapeau panjang-panjang.
(pronounced shapo - one of my bosses' fav term - it means something like introduction).
Btw, masa aku takde maid, Kimi is taken care by my sister's helper. After 2 months of staying at my sister's place, I notice that Kimi macam sangat smart, outgoing, cheeky, very playful, well-mannered, tak takut orang, curious... All the attitudes that I'd like my son to have. I give credit to to the crowd he's been mixing with, i.e. anak2 buah aku yang to me well mannered and active. Aku sangat suka.
So sekarang dah ada maid, we kinda have to revert to our previous arrangement, which is tinggalkan kimi dengan maid dekat rumah dengan mak. Aaaa the problem is... the maid wont be as active as my sister's children. And hari2 Kimi will only mix dengan bibik dia, which, I'm afraid would impede his speech development. Not only that, aku takut dia tak berapa berkembang sangat, sebab maid kan macam tak berapa nak encourage budak2 main2, mostly nak senangkan kerja dia.
We're thinking of sending him to a good nursery. Tapi recently kan ada cerita tak best pasal nursery and fishball, aku jadi takut. Anyways, we found a good one near my office, dekat area Hartamas. Sah2 dekat hartamas, memang mahal gila la kan? They charge RM950 per month. Per month!!! Adoi. Bayar maid lagi, bayar nursery lagi? Botak la mommy and ayah ni baby.
I want to give the best for my son, lagi2 sekarang ni kids are getting more brilliant each year, by the time kimi masuk sekolah nanti, ntah2 budak kelas A tu semua score 800/800 every exam. Ye, saya tau, saya memang put high emphasis on exam scores. Even orang kata eventually its your skills that will be your best advantage, tapi scores tu macam stepping stones for better opportunities, kan mula2 orang tgk your score, then baru skills. Maknanya, score + skills = sangat hebat!!
Itula yang saya mahu untuk anak saya.
Jadi sekarang I dont quite know what to do. Nursery? Or I could spend 30 minutes every night and ajar kimi using his flash cards? I dont think that's enough. Besides, takkan la belajar words je? Mesti nak belajar main bola, naik basikal? Adoih.
I hope I'm not expecting too much. Apa2 pun nanti, Mommy still love you baby.

ok serious stuff. can you still send kimi to your sister's house? lebih baik bayar org di situ. cewah senangnya aku cakap kan? but at least you know your nephews/nieces. well mannered atau tidak. anto nursery tak semua nya yg well-mannered budak2 ni. tak ke?
PLUS, 950/month tak mahal kah wei...however, if family kau mampu, tade hal...hantar situ pon boleyyyyy.
tp aku prefer arrangement masa maidless. biar dia dengan cousins dia. kan kan?
Adik? Aihhh. Hihihi.
Yeah I prefer to send him to my sister's house too. I know they love my son, if not as much, but its still comparable. But due to certain circumstances, staying with previous arrangement is a cant-do. Sebenarnya can laa, once a week but i dont know. 1/5 is only 20% of the time, and nanti kalau pindah2 nanti kimi confuse? Aku pun tak tau.
RM950 to us is very expensive, dengan bayar maid lagi. We need a maid. And we want a good nursery. Like how?
Mate:
Tak pernah. Tapi zaman kita dulu mana ada budak dapat 20As? Sekarang ada. Gila takde life budak2 sekarang ni.
I think Kimi has a long way to go, inshaAllah. If money is not on your side, to me the best way is to have Kimi stay with bibik and at the same teach him as much as you can, and once in awhile, make sure that you visit your friends and families who have kids around Kimi's age to encourage Kimi to socialize with others. Nanti dah besar, when it is time for him to go to school, he will pick it up very fast inshaAllah. So don't worry so much, and spend so much at this time. The money can be spent on better and more important things in the future such as good books, good school, good food, good extra classes, etc. So better save the money for those things. Allahua'lam :)
hmmm... budak2 tak ada pergaulan dgn budak lain, takut tersekat sket development dia, i mean, dari segi pergaulan dia, behavior dia. ha, cane tu?
Wow. Nasihat dr ibu anak lima.
Kimi's staying in the house. But we'll still be sending him to my sister's hse every friday =D
Tapi ni aku je decide ach belum decide lagi teehehe.
