It is reported in the news that maids from Indonesia will
carry out four main household tasks at a minimum salary of RM700 per month in
Malaysia. The daily tasks are cooking, housekeeping, washing clothes and
ironing. Why not take the opportunity and leave your comfort zone and do some
changes at the home front? There are 5 benefits to carry out the household chores without
engaging a maid:
1.
Savings: The monthly amount of RM700/= can be
set aside as an emergency fund to meet unexpected expenses. It is also an effective way to halt the
outflow of fund and save on foreign exchange.
2.
Sharing: Sharing is caring. Mother can do the
cooking, father can do the dish washing, and children can do the laundry and ironing. Everyone in the house can take turn to keep
the house spick and span.
3.
Self-reliant: It is a great way to survive and
learn to be independent. When it is a habit, doing all the tasks will come
naturally.
4.
Self-fulfillment: It is an effective way to manage
your home and be productive while having to work and earn a living. You get
personal satisfaction and happiness in managing time and tasks efficiently and
effectively.
5.
Sedentary lifestyle: idling is not a good way of
life. Human beings are meant to be active. Doing things at home will keep
boredom and anxiety away from your mind. When things are done, you will enjoy
more when you take a deserving break.
A maid is another human being. She is far away from home and
she needs support emotionally, spiritually and mentally. Will you be treating
her in a dignified way? A maid may be a solution to your household problems. If
you do not handle the situation with care, she could also be a source of your
family problems in many ways.
