There just isn’t any chemistry between my new maid and Sherilyn. When Sherilyn saw our new Cambodian temp maid for the first time, she had just woken up from her nap. She was sobbing away on the mattress as I was talking to the maid agent. When I asked her why she was crying, she cried even louder till she almost puked. She did not want the maid to be near her the entire evening.
Today is our maid’s 3rd day with us and Sherilyn just doesn’t like her new kakak. She refuses to let the maid feed her and would turn her head sideways when kakak feeds her. She doesn’t want the new kakak to bathe her or touch her. This morning, when our maid wanted to carry her up the high chair, Sherilyn said “don’t touch me, I can go up myself”. When the maid wanted to put on the panty for her, she said “I can wear myself, I don’t like you!” Alycia who has no problems ‘making friends’ with the maid told Sherilyn not to bully kakak and complaint to daddy about what Sherilyn did.
I am sure Sherilyn will get used to her new kakak in time to come but it’s sad coz when she finally gets used to her one day, she will have to leave when our new permanent maid arrives….. and the whole cycle of getting used to another new kakak begins again!
No. of times viewed = 289
probably she misses the old kakak?
oh boy! give her more time to warm up, and with Aly’s example, she’ll follow.
When the new premanent maid comes, she will know. *wink* Smart gal!
Chin Nee…Yup, I think she misses our previous maid.
Girlie….hopefully!
No worries….actually it is a good sign too, at least, Sherilyn is ‘protecting’ herself….all the while, she is butterfly social, but, also, she know how to protect herself for not being so friendly to stranger/newcomer…..
no worry later she can get along with the new maid…
ya..no worry, sooner she will accept the new kakak. Last time i also headache when getting the new kakak and the boys hv to get use. Hope Sherilyn like the temp kakak soon.
yalah just a matter of time…
maybe she can learn to be independence.
i experienced the same with my son too. it took him almost two months to finally let the maid touch him!
Sigh… that’s the prob with getting a new maid. Hv to get used to the new person. But really no choice coz can’t be maidless at the moment. Dun worry, Sher’ll get used to them, eventually.
She will eventually get used to the new maid unless the new maid is really not likeable.
