 When you can t cope, hire a maid. With a full time 7-day-week career that Ling is used to putting in, there s really no time to accommodate the kids. James is no help, since he s lazy and just as hopeless as the children. Enter Mimosa, every capable, top of the line maid. But James is too familiar with maids. He grew up with them rather than parents and has an aversion to them. But with no money and not contributing at all to the upkeep of this family, he has no say. However, Ling realizes that she isn t really fulfilling her promise to her cousin just by shoving the kids to a maid.
