I didn't mean it like that. There's no tone of voice in our printed words. <BR/>It seems you are better off without this person. Take life easy and enjoy your baby and let some of the housework rest a bit - tidy, but not absolutely spick and span. You sound like you are lucky with a beaut husband so enjoy your days and your privacy.<BR/>When I had my little boys we had teenage girls live with us - relatives - and they were a great help out of their school hours. (two at high school, one at night classes) I was teaching part-time then and needed babysitters. Peceli was home part of the day too as his office was part of the house.<BR/>w.Peceli and Wendy's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01165668047817341837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22668996.post-82429757956825789872007-06-11T01:42:00.000+03:002007-06-11T01:42:00.000+03:00Ahhh!

Hashim is right, should you or the police find them, you'd have to buy their tickets home, maybe it's just better this way. You know, since coming to Canada we haven't had a maid and I haven't been happier. I was so dependent on them, first in India, then in Dubai, but now I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders....sometimes they're not worth the trouble. Hope everything is resolved quickly and easily for you.Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22668996.post-43775773892818621982007-06-10T12:37:00.000+03:002007-06-10T12:37:00.000+03:00Um Naief, just think about it - she is from a poor...Um Naief, just think about it - she is from a poor family and perceives you as rich. Now aren't your a psychologist - can't you see that she has many problems about 'class' and being a 'servant'. <BR/> If she runs away, that's her life. Where would they go anyway - back home to Sri Lanka? <BR/>I do have a problem about 'class'. There but for the grace of God go I - sort of thinking.

Don't get me wrong, i love indian movies.
