If wife works and mother don't help, then employ a maid for $450 (maid salary) + $170 (govt tax) + food ? doesn't make much sense right?

As for interaction, its good to let your wife have some friends. some locals and some viets. My wife has some viet friends, some china friends and some local friends. Some friends will be good for her, but too many also bring lots of trouble and gossips.
i agree..thats why i told my wife wait till we have hse of our own then we talk abt her going out to work...

at the moment my oc takes care of my little one alone but when i have my flat next year, can bring her mum over to help take care so she can then work...

if not it doesnt make sense to hire someone to babysit while she goes out to work unless she can generate mthly income of 2k...
