Cannot stand the behavior & attitude of my aunt 2 precious
prince & princess. My temper boils upon thinking what they did
these few days during my grandmother's wake - practically
nothing.
C'mon the person lying there is their grandmother too. Can't these
2 spoilt brats just volunteer to help out. What a pair of actor
& actress when their parents' friends and colleagues came &
they go get some drinks for them
There, everyone is busy attending the guests. My dad has his
platoon of friends/customers to take care of. My mother has been
running to and fro with the preparation. My sister has to take care
of the drinks & recording down of "white gold", while I help
with the miscellaneous orders... & all this while, my aunts
precious prince & princess just sit at some places visible
playing their gameboy or shaking their legs. I pity their maid have
to run here and there, serving drinks to everyone.
But the thing that fumes me most is the fact they have the cheek to
bring their ps2 o& stay in my room to watch TV in the afternoon
. . . WTF! @#$%^& Even my brother-in-law, who have work on
hands, sacrifice his time & help out. It's embarrassing that my
relative asks her family members to help out too... I really feel
like giving them a tight slap when I heard they ask their parents
whether they can go up to watch their favorite TV show! Cmon it is
a wake, a solemn event, & these 2 kids are making it into a
holiday.
Then speaking of meals, is another thing that annoys me. Of these 3
days, they ordered western food which cost the most. I know it is
free of charge, but they should have the courtesy to order cheaper
stuffs sometimes. They are like liches, bloodsuckers. They are
lucky their parents are quite well to do. Else they wun be able to
lead such luxurious life in a condo near tp. If I m the one buying
the food, Ill wun go asking individual what they like to eat, but
will alternate between rice /noodles. $3 or $4 those type.
All I ask is a little respect to my decreased grandmother. After
all, they are her favorite grandson & grandaughter... Years
ago, I remember I took a week leave for my grandma. (my mothers
mother) I may sound very old-fashioned, but that shd be 1 of the
virtues that 1 shd give upon a family member relative passing away.
Definitely not like some spoilt brats who keep on
complaining.
Could it be that nowadays, parents dun stay with their parents.
They lack teaching their children basic respect to their elderly.
Or was it just a problem arising after Singapore is becoming a
developed country.
