In welcoming the new year, I try to clean the house and get rid of the junk I've accumulated throughout the past year.. and by get rid, I mean put them in boxes and store them. Hehe. In our household of two humans and two dogs, we hired a full-time helper (FH) to assist us in our daily chores. The dogs require constant care and since hubby and I both work, we decided this is the best way to keep our sanity. We also have a stay-out helper (SO) whose (real) primary job is to keep our helper company every other day. SO was our saviour when our string of helpers quit one after the other so when we were able to hire someone full-time, we continued her services, thanks to H. :)
This has been our set-up for the past six months and it has been smooth sailing until the holidays. Because SO couldn't come, FH was left to clean the house for the past two weeks. Mind you, I do the cooking of main meals at home and I don't expect the house to be sparkly clean but she didn't even try. The house was a mess! And I just realised that it takes her almost the whole day to do the laundry.. using a 9kg washing machine! 😓 That's why hubby's been complaining that our water bill has been increasing month after month. Turns out, she separates the whites, light coloured, reds, blacks, and towels. 😳😳😳 Add to that, she didn't know that the duvet bedsheets should be washed separately from the comforter. What has she been doing the past six months? *Sigh*
Anyway, enough of the bad vibes. It's a new year!! I've decided to just create a cleaning schedule for FH. This will serve as her guide in doing her daily chores. Hopefully, I see some improvements in the coming weeks. 😊
