PapaJoneh’s Dilemma?

These past few days or weeks, have been really tough to me and my family as a whole. My wife so-called ‘morning sickness’ is actually ‘all-the-time-24hrs sickness’ in my interpretation. Both of us working and when we back from office, the house is like just been visited by Dennis The Menace. Its a mess, upside-down thing. We desperately need Amah and live-in Nanny, if can, to help us.
I pity my wife still want to do all the housework even after I said “no need”, I will do it. Well, actually not for long. The ‘24hrs sickness’ thing stop her from doing almost everything in the house. NO cooking because she’s so sensitive with smells. NO lifting, thats definitely NO! And NO playing with my 2 years old son because son always wanna do the latest wrestling move on her. So, whats the conclusion from this two paragraphs? I do it. I do everything at home. Well almost everything. Laundry(*she still help), cooking(*she prepared everything already), washing(*I just switch on and wait for it) and most of all, the wrestling and football things with Son Josh(*Now, this is really me and son only!). I pity here because even she just relaxing on the couch, she still in pain. Geez. the Power of Twins!! I salute her for taking care of my babies and still managed to do lots of things and even take care me too. the big baby. And she is a career pregnant woman!!! I’m really blessed by GOD. Thanks GOD!
Now, of course it still early. My babies are only due on September but you do understand we need to prepare all these as soon as possible. Amah or Nanny or both. We need the live-in nanny to take care our babies when we both working. We need the amah to make our house beautiful and clean again. That exclude taking care of my 3 years old then son. So how? All these not FOC. We still have to pay. But thats another story. For now, my real concern is the live-in nanny. I’m a terrible person to trust others just like that. Yea, ask all my friends. they know I can’t trust them. Im too melancholic, D-I-Y guy. Forgive me. Thats me. I only trust you if I’m around. Hehe.
So should I installed one of this thing
like what they discussed here at BloggingBaby, NannyCams: do you tell? what say you all? Help me here. This is a serious matter for me. I think I have enough grey hair just thinking about my son’s behaviour.
To my new found friend, Gontua of Not So Perfect Parents, Thanks for this bloggingbaby link at your blog. Owe you one. ![]()

Hi Papajoneh, thks for visiting my site and the kind words. Personally, I think you just need one good helper to look after the new babies, one part-time to clean the house (once a week) and perhaps, send your 3 yr old to nursery. Not so easy to have 2 ‘maids’ in the house - they can create a party!! Just my 2 cents worth…

thanks doris… i appreciate the time taken to advice me. Ineed all the help and experience from you all. its just, maybe you didn’t realized yet, Im expecting twins and my wife is still a working career woman. so one good helper is still handicap.. in my opinion. but who knows, we get the good one who can handle them. thanks doris.
