am so cheesed off.....
Called mom after I've been researching about studio apartments
for above 55.
sis did say she does not mind contributing some of her cpf for
mom, and I figured I could also throw in some CPF and cash afterr
the sale of the flat.
Then I called her, tells her what I know and her response: Its
better to join name with me to rent a flat because BECAUSE my
brother told her to do so.
1. Mom is not eligible to rent a flat alone.
2. Borthers income is above the HDB limit so not eligible. (At
first I tot he reached 8k salary already???!!!! but its not.)
3. Borther has a g/f , so she dont want him to ruin his chance
of securing a gal. (No gals will want to live with a inlaw
thingy.)
4. My brother told her to persuade me to join name together to
get a rental flat.
My brother has money to buy and drive a car, but no intentions
or money to support my mother which he boasted he will.
I was really upset after that call. I know mom underlying
reservations about that elderly studio apartment....its very
simple.
A) she cant house another person in that flat.
B) the flat cannot be passed down to any child. (the HDb says
they will buy back the flat and return the buyers some CPF monies,
which I think she knew that the monies goes back to me and sis
instead of passing down to her only son. But she didnt know
maybe is that the $$$ wont have to come back to me and sis.)
Its tiring. and there on the phone, she was grumbling about how
her rental now is expiring and how she dont like renting
places. i told her off that if she had any sense, its what
she deserve.
I know Mom, she is very read-able. She felt insecure most
times and so she sponges off her daughters, making the daughthers
lives difficult to seek superiority to satisfy her ego.
She cannot live with othes, and she cannot afford her own place
because her son has sucked her dry.
