Here we go!

What do you do when your babysitter tells you to fetch your child earlier during the Ramadhan month?



When she agreed to take on the role of the babysitter, she was agreeable to us picking up AIR late, of course not extremely late la. By the time we reach home, on a normal day is almost 7pm, that is if I leave sharp at 530pm. If the traffic condition is not so good, normally I would be back by 740pm. OK, so I don't leave sharp at 530...I never..by the time i get to my car and leave the car park, its 6. And of course there are times when I just don't want to get caught in traffic, so I go my jog/run till about 645/7pm.



So anyway, she has agreed and we were thinking that it would be the same all year round. Perhaps we will make it a point to fetch him before breaking fast. So now she expects us to fetch him by 530pm.



Crazy??



She thinks we are working with the gov. She thinks during fasting, we get off work at 4pm. Yah, right. When we explain to her, its the distance, plus even if we do get off that early, the traffic, (where the rest of the world too will want to go back early) will also delay our journey. And what do we get from her? A weird reaction on her face.



So what do you do?



What did we do? We simply stopped sending AIR to her. Full-stop!



arrrrgh so annoyed. First you asked for extra/higher $$$ and you agreed to the slightly longer hours, so we obliged. We didn't want to make a fuss about it. Then now you come up with some conditions, excuses etc etc....fine...well, what she doesn't know won't hurt, right? she won't know that perhaps after the Ramadhan, we will also not send AIR to her anymore....which is highly likely.



Anyway, Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan Al-Mubarak To All Muslimin & Muslimat..

Thank God the previous sitter is ok with us fetching him late...Yup, we're most of the time the last too...

Now, terpaksa fetch him after berbuka - cos he's always asleep earlier and when we carry him, ter-wake him up n he'll not sleep again...
kecian him jugak la...
