Cheryl,
Pls don't worry, your mum is not the only one who is like that. My mum is worse. The only difference is that we are financially independent so she can't trouble us much and plus the fact that she is staying at my place while her precious son whom she spent so much money on had chased her out of their house just last year.
She treats me like dirt and kept saying I "Lim family member" should not interfere with her "Ng family matters". That matter she is referring to is allowing my brother to bring his baby girl to my place for her to look after!
For chirst sake, my SIL and my brother brings home more than 15k a month yet they dont even give a single cent to my parents every month. He does not even want to engage a maid to help my mum out at my place. Meaning in the end my maid will have to help look after his kid as well?
My only condition if he wants to bring his girl here for my mum to look after is that he gives her money every month. When I said that, my mum flared up and scolded me, asking me what right do I have to interfere. From then, which is a week ago till now, she has not spoken to me and everytime she opens her mouth, it would be to scold me.
Can't stand it. Just waiting for her to move out which she claims she will.... they have an apartment in Thomson which they are renting out currently. If they move back in, they will lose their only income. Not to mention, they will have to pay for all their own expenses. Unlike now, they are living off me.
The only thing is, I pity my dad who will have to continue to work.
