I've never been good with goodbyes. I used to cry when our helpers left. And nothing much has changed now. Our current all-around is going back home to care for her kids. She's trustworthy but we're not very fond of her. She can be annoying sometimes. She spends most days dillydallying just waiting for the hours to pass her by. Her cooking is inconsistent. Her cleaning leaves so much to be desired. She keeps on going back to her province for a variety of reasons. She's forgetful. She's easily confused. My husband and I talked in the past that it was really okay if she wanted to leave because she will not be that big a loss. Our yaya actually does more work than the all-around. So we should be rejoicing, right? Well, part of us is relieved because we can start anew with someone who will hopefully be better. But part of me is also sad because whatever you say, she's been with us for more than a year (the longest so far among our helpers). She knows the routine...
