Very though words but I agree.

Baby will definately interrupt sleep. It is unavoidable. Counting on maid would be worse. If parents find it hard to make such sacrifice do you think and outsider would? You have a baby your social life is gone. Enjoy this new chapter in your shared lives.

Mancy,
I salute you.

By the way are you referring to the baby when you use the word kid?

Yup, granparents want to share the joy too.

I dont think highly of maid as babysitters. In their forms or biodata they would have written "urus baby". That is so that they have better chances with potential employers. Actually they know next to nothing about urus baby. It always ended up you have to teach them. It would be harder if it was your first child as you are also learning.
