I've previously posted about losing our recent nanny, so, right, now I'm doing all the house chores and taking care of the kids. I'm also hesitant to hire a new one, because, after a week of being a superMom, I feel like I can manage this somehow. What recently cross my mind is to ask my mother to stay with us for awhile so there's someone whom we can leave the kids with, at times, and someone who could also help me around the house. However, it would be quite uncomfortable to be asking my mother to do the dishes, sweep the floor, wipe the dust, etc... Although, I believe, she'd do those without being asked, because she has been a housewife most her life, and pretty much used to the routine. I don't know if that's a good idea. Im just concerned that we may get into conflicts and arguments, in the long run. Maybe, Ill just have to really sulk into being a housewife, housekeeper and full time mother.

Ask your mother to stay with you , perhaps when you see the shortness of your time , your trouble between the kids ,the house work ,and function may be help you without ask her.

But, Im really concerned that we may end up having conflicts. Plus, my husband and I have been enjoying our private space, living in our own house and away from our families. I also don't want to put my husband in the middle of all this. Although, they have a good relationship, but its different when you see each other everyday, and live under the same roof.
