Ha, my maid has gone home for good. With the kids away, my husband and I are developing a new rountine with the household chores. As we split the responsibilities, I got this deja vue feeling that dates back to more than 2 decades when we were newly married.
Yeh we were just married then, had just moved into our new house and had not engaged a maid till the kids came along. I remembered it was like 2 children playing "masak masak' (child play at cooking and housekeeping), always wondering whether that's the way the real adults keep house. I remember I tried to act like a good old traditional Asian wife taking on the cooking etc and feeling lousy when the food didn't turn out well.
Twenty odd years later, we are again experiencing keeping house without a maid. Only this time round, romance being scarce if not absent, it is best that duties be well defined. And, I do not feel bad at all if he declares me a hopeless housewife hahaha.
