Robots Are Our Future

I used to dread the yaya's dayoff. Maxine has always been the kind of baby who grows attached easily to people and she, like her mother has a mind of her own and is willfull and loud when she doesn't get her way. She used to let only her yaya feed her. She would refuse her bottle even if she was so hungry. She preffered to cry herself to sleep instead of eat, and all this was when she was only 3months old. Today Maxine is almost 10months old. She is my everything. She doesn't have a facial expression that I dont love. Even when she's red from screaming in anger I still feel the same. Today was yaya's dayoff, I am super glad that i decided to make her take the dayoff on a Sunday bec the hubby is home the whole day. We went to visit her Ninong's house and there we spent a total of 3hours. Where we all sat on the couch and watched tv. Maxine got to touch a dog's face, pull the back of a fax machine and eat an apple. Time flew by so quickly that I am now deluded into thinking that i dont really need a yaya. I can do this on my own. I hope reality sets in quickly as I am annoyed at the yaya for being almost 2hrs late in returning home.

Maxine is the joy of my life and if i could i would want a huge family, at least 3 kids. But the stress involved in taking in more household help stops me from even thinking of having any more children. How i wish for the day when they will come out with a robot nanny who can do all the things a yaya does. Feed, change and clean. The yayas want to think they do more but they dont. At least maxine's yaya doesnt, bec she makes the maid carry maxine around when im not looking and its the maid that plays with maxine while she's doing whatever. She lets Maxine play alone in her crib while she's sleeping the whole afternoon. Maybe we have perfect babies thats why we can never get a perfect yaya. There has to be a balance in the world.
