How Do You Deal With Your Child's Yaya In Restaurants?

[_Cathy_]

Last night while dining out with my friends, we felt awkward for a Yaya that was sitting alone in the bar with a stroller beside her. She had a glass of water (house) and an apple that was obviously baon. She was sticking out like a sore thumb in a restaurant that seats less than 40 people. We immediately knew which table brought her, it was a young couple dining out with other couple friends (20-30+). They were about 10. Everyone else in the restaurant were adults.

Parenting means sacrifices! Is it so hard to skip the nights out or take turns with the spouse when going out with friends. It blows my mind why they have to take their BABY on a late night dinner in a non-family type restaurant and even tag along the yaya??? They probably did not have her join the table because they were with friends (could be a treat or pay individually) If they can't have her join the table then the least they could have done was give her dinner money and go wherever she wants. This is one issue that really bothers us in the family.

Naaawa nga ako sa mga yaya minsan. Last weekend, nasa CPK Rockwell kami,may baon yung yaya ng burger steak from jollibee. W/o drinks pa.

I remember when we were young pa, kahit sa mejo mahal kami kumain, my parents would order something for the yaya. Or at least share some food to her.

When I was in China for a business trip, the driver would even sit with us sa table and eat.

We treat our yaya o katulong as a family member, sa bahay at sa pamamasyal, kung ano kinakain namin ganun din sila, in return naman wala kami naging problema sa kanila.

Same with my family. Ayaw ko ring inuutusan ng hindi magalang ng mga bata ang mga kasambahay namin.
I always insisted that they are part of the family like elder sister, kaya pag may trabahong mabigat e tulong-tulong din kami.

Pag minsan sa mall, kung sino pa yung may uniform na parang nurse e sila pa yung mukhang naapi. Samantalang muhang super yaman naman amo nila!

Same with our kasambahays. Pareho kami ng ulam. Minsan kami pa umuubos ng tira kasi nakakahiya ibigay sa kasambahay. Pati rice pareho kami. Sabay pa kami kumakain. Although sa ibang lamesa sila

We let them buy what food they want but they are free to eat our food. May mga helper kasi na SOBRANG pihikan sa pagkain.

sa bahay pareho lang kami ng kinakain pero pag sa labas tinatanong namin kung anong gusto nila in that way lang naman kami nakakabawi sa mga pagod nila sa amin at saka pag di mo inalagaan mga kasambahay nyo ewan ko lang baka dinuduraan yung mga inihahain nilang pagkain nyo

lalo na yung yaya na naka uniform pa.. tapos ang kasama eh susunod sunod sa amo nya.. wala namang dalang bata...

It also makes me cringe especially when the yaya has to bring the purse. What the heck. Wala bang sariling kamay para magdala ng purse?!?! And why walk ahead?

Hay, sinabi mo!

tsaka kailangan talaga naka uniform???!!

[chrismarte]

^parang status symbol ang dating no pag naka uniform? parang "meron akong kasamang yaya/KB na naka uniform, mayaman ako!!!"

Minsan pa mga alagang aso ang pinadadala.

That couple are a bitches, if they can't treat their staff humane they don't deserve to have one. We eat all together with our maids in one seating, whether in house or outside. What we eat is what they eat, they are even passed the menu for them to order what they want.

I share the same feelings guys when I see a yaya out with his masters and she's not eating what they're eating, or even worse not eating anything! Since we're already out of the country, we don't have yaya here but the kasambahay of my SIL is very lucky because my wife's sister and her husband treat her as family. She's been with them ever since baby yung mga nephews ko and napamahal na din yung mga bata sa yaya nila.

Kaya nga kasambahay/katulong ang tawag sa kanila kasi "katulong" lang sila sa gawain bahay, hindi "alila".

Even though most of them are undergraduate, or has not even gone through highschool, they deserve respect and understanding like a normal person.

tama! dapat inaalagaan ang mga kasambahay/yaya.. dapat minsan nilalabas din sila.. ipanood nang sine.. ikain sa labas.. wag lang uuwi nang sabay.. dale kay misis!! hehehe

Yung househelp namin if ever we bring her to the mall (tag-along ng asawa ko) kung saan kami kumain, doon din siya, and what we eat, she also eats. Domestic help are also people, so treat them accordingly and they will reciprocate in return. Pati driver ng asawa ko na naghihintay sa drivers lounge, pinababalutan ng isang order ng pagkain yan.

Yes, there are household help that sometimes "abuse" this kind of special treatment to them. We have had those on previous occasions. Usually these would be household help of "unknown" origin, i.e referred by this and that, etc.etc.

That is why we now source our household help from our farm folk in the province. In that way, kilala nila kami, and at the same time kilala din namin sila, and there is loyalty to us.

Kasama namin ang yaya and KB sa table. In case naman na high end resto ang puntahan namin (which is very rarely) we either not bring them with us or give them money to eat at a nearby place not so expensive. One time kasi we had our ex-yaya with us and she ordered the most expensive item in the menu and we were not paying attention to it. Surprised na,lang kami nung dumating order nya hahahaha! Whew! Buti na lang bagong bayad ang credit card! She had been with us for 8 years na so ok lang. We have a new yaya now.

Hindi alam ng 8 yr yaya niyo not to order anything more expensive than the person paying, it's common courtesy What happened to her?

OT: Pet peeve ng Mommy ko yung driver na mahilig sumali sa usapan. Masyado ng comfortable.

we sometimes forget that back in the province, our yayas eat seemingly ordinary viands in their area.. viands that would fetch a hefty price if ordered in manila..
we were once assigned to this seaside village... hipon araw araw! big hipons, mind you! and not from davao.. heh heh.

Depends on the resto. Either they eat with us or we give them money to go and buy food. We rarely bring the Yaya to the mall though as that's QT to be with the kids (even when they were babies/toddlers). If we need to do a lot at the mall or wherever then we don't bring the kids.
