家家有本难念的经。。
I believed every household have their own problems esp when it comes to $$ issues.. I am no exception.. My dad was considered 'half' the boss working as a Sub-contractor in his company.. Everyone thaw we were 'rich' as we can afford to change car every 5yrs.. But nobody knows abt our financial status.. We were stucked in huge debts, thanks to my 'good for notink' uncle who B.O.M.B my dad's credit cards.. His not paying up, so as the main card holder my dad got to clear all his shits.. Construction industry is going downhill and my dad's income is only half of wat he used to earn.. Household expenses however is going higher and his paycheck always came late.. I'm glad that I'm working now and can help to share some of their burden.. I believed that every problem can be solved as long as ur family stays united.. However, the following case really broke my heart..
His grandma's health had been deteriorating.. Had suffer 2 falls within 3 mths and is getting weaker everyday.. Her family had decided to hire a maid to take care of her since all of them are working and nobody will be at hm during the day.. Grandma has 3 children, the eldest daughter has abit of mental problem and can't contribute much while the 2nd daughter married a rich man and was well to do.. His father is the youngest and had been taking care of grandma all this while.. However, their financial is not strong enough to cover the expenses of the maid.. So they decided to seek help from the 2nd daughter.. Instead of helping, the 2nd daughter accused his younger brother of trying to 'sallow' the fortune of grandma.. She even cohoot with a family friend to bad mouth her own brother!! Worst still, she demand her mother to sell the house, give her all the fortune and leave notink for the brother when she passes on!!
I always thaw that such cases of 'snatching fortune' only appeared in drama serials but it's now happening in real life.. I was totally disappointed with the 2nd daughter.. Instead of contributing, she gave me the impression that she's forcing her mum to die so that she can have all the $$.. I can't believe this kind of useless pple really exists!! You can imagine how scared and pressured poor grandma is feeling and how sad and disappointed the whole family is now.. This is so called 'Family', shifting responsibilities when problems arises..
Anyway, I believe in retribution.. What goes around will definitely comes around..
