3K is a lot of money. How about finding a different babysitter? Where you live anyways?

Ya, I still can tahan 3-4 months, temporary ask MIL to take, while i am actively searching for babysitter.

I am sorry to say this but, paying your mother in law RM3k just to take care of your baby and household is not going to help you especially with your combined income is not much.

At this stage, you should consider having a proper family and providing for them. Taking your mother in law debt into your financial planning is not feasible.

Besides, your mother in law's gambling habit, debt with loan shark, repayment is all her own responsibility and should not be a trouble to the son in law and much less her grandchild.

As for your babysitter, I dont think a babysitter can cope with 5 kids. Money is one thing but 5 is too much. Max out is 3. I suggest you look for another babysitter. Otherwise, you're putting your baby at risk. Do you want something to happen then only regret? If not, then plan properly for it.

Take care.

Are u from kepong? sounds like the bbsitter nearby my bbsitter's place.

USJ.
Lot of babysitter 7-8 kids now.

personally i prefer MIL to take care of my baby.....cuz ppl will lose patience, so i really dun dare to put my baby with outsiders.......luckily my husband n i share the same thought n my MIL is very willing to help us take care of our baby........n v dun hv to pay her too excessively oso......

ya, good life to have good MIL.

i also opt for this

Ya thx all.
busy looking for babysitter now while my MIL takecare for temporary.
3K is killing haha!

7 kids and RM650 is blood sucking! kindy with daycare facilities is almost the same price, plus there are more ppl to look after those kids. why not u try looking for those kindy/daycare places,some are pretty ok, clean and nice. meanwhile look for another babysitter. as for your MIL, i think it's too personal a thing to give comments. while 3k is a lot, she is after all family. some ppl are willing to do that though it may not seemed worthwhile

PLAN B~ she is your mother in law

How bout other option, get ur wife to take care?

Previously v tot of asking my MIL to look after our baby....but something happened which i got no idea wat it is, n my husband suddenly got the idea of asking me to stay at home take care of our baby...

Both of us need to work la.
Expenses is high now, government later implement GST then we are dead.

Anyone can recommend baby sitter at kepong area for day and night. Need it urgently.

Just find a new babysitter is the best.

Pay 3k for mother in law?... no for me.
