Who Needs Enemies When.....
When I woke up this morning, someone must have been playing a freaking joke on me.
My maternal grandmother broke her leg and was hospitalised. She's now home and my uncle has employed a maid to take care of her. I share 50% of the cost of the maid.
This is what my mum told me around dinnertime. My aunt (wife of my uncle) said that on the maid's off day, my other aunt (sister of my mother) should go over and take care of my grandmother!!
This is absolutely ridiculous in my book. My other aunt is not exactly healthy. On top of that, she has to take care of my cousin who is currently suffering from mental illness. This aunt of mine is also surviving on approximately $200 a month as she refuses help from others (pride, what can we do?).
A healthy, financially independent person who herself does not take care of my grandmother is expecting a person with so many burdens to go over and take over the maid's duties on the maid's day off????
My mum mentioned that my uncle said that this was because my uncle's wife decided that my other aunt is not paying a cent for the maid, so she should contribute in 'other ways'
What is the world coming to? I'm about to slap someone and it sure ain't you nor me.

Not trying to stir things up here... but hmmm.. why is your uncle's wife the one deciding on who should do what?? Just because her husband paid 50% of the maid's cost? In that case, you should have some say too, since you paid the other 50%, eh!
