I need to get a new DH urgently who specializes in toddler care

At the very least you need to be realistic about what you're going to get if you ask someone to work 7 days a week. I wouldn;t want to work for any employer under those circumstances. I can only assume that's the reason you have an Indonesian maid - no Filippino helper would stand for it - and rightly so.

If you don't like your new maid (for whatever work related reason), then go through the legal process of dismissal. If you don't want to do this, then either put up with what you've got, re-train her, or perhaps take an active role in parenting your child, rather than leaving it up to someone else to do for you.

From what you have described (long hours, plus a Sunday sleep in) it sounds like you (might) see your child for 1/2 a day a week.

Quite frankly - why did you bother to have kids if you're not prepared to spend any time or effort?
 
well said everyone. I hope jlee gets the point and will treat her next DH with the care and respect she should be giving to her own child. and another thing...I dont think your DH or anyone for that matter "needs" to get married...its more like ...they "WANT" to get married.
