One thing that we the average family from Canada is not used to is having house staff. How do you deal with house staff? This has been a battle for me. Here are a couple of pointers that you might not consider:
1. Explain with great emphasis that they are not to 'medicate' your children under any circumstance - especially if your children are young.
2. Keep all Medications in an inaccessible place for your housestaff.
3. Explain that you and your children can get very sick if you drink plain tap water, so your water bottles are to be filled with filtered water only.
We spent the first 8 weeks of our stay here ill until I caught our housekeeper filling our water bottles with tap water. NICE!
I won't even comment on the very recent medication experience, but lets just say that it is imperative that this is discussed!
So am I an old hand at this? I'm really not sure yet.
Until next time

I think you may be getting there. all of this is really quite good advice. Sounds light but could have dire circumstance. The idea is to communicate clearly and often. but mistakes will happen i suppose. Old Hand..? Nah..just getting started....one step at a time. :)
