I felt the same way, more so when i gave up being a Homemaker to contribute $$ to the family expenses. My kid can cheerfully wave goodbye when i left hm for office, doesn't even seem to miss me. It's only after dear hubby says that the kid would still be urs at the end of the day, that i slowly... learn/try to let go. Now, i can get quite touched sometimes, esp when my kid wait up for me to return from office, to read story book, b4 she turn in for the nite. Sometimes, when they want ur attention. Give it to them(no matter how busy u are). These are precious moments, enjoy them while they still want u. =) I would say that it’s human nature to be jealous/feel sour, esp if child wants another care giver instead of the mum(whom sacrifices alot for kid, eg: breastfeeding, body shape changes, the sleepless nites of their illness, etc).

Don't let the green monster destroy the relationship between you, Indar and Yauyau. You will always be Yauyau's mother, nothing can alter that ;) Huileng, you are one of those rare lucky ones which found a domestic helper which you could trust totally with your precious child.

That's the weird thing. See, like you, my helper is very patient and kind. Loves my son very much and no matter how difficult he is, she's got the patience to be gentle with him and enjoys playing with him too. But I only work part time, so I look after him in the afternoons. My mum looks after him in the daytime. My helper only relieves either one of us when we are occupied or tired. Between my mum and myself, we feed, bathe, change, play with him and put him to sleep. AND YET he appears to like the maid the most! He'll call out to her sweetly when he can't find her and it looks like she's his favourite playmate. Isn't that strange?? I bfed my son for 14mths before being forced to wean him due to health reasons. And yet my son likes to sayang the maid the most and play with her. Hee...weird phenomenon.
