When I was back at my mum’s place over the weekend, I slipped and fell while walking in the sitting room. A portion of the floor was still wet from an earlier session of mopping. I shudder to think if my 75-year-old mum had fallen instead.
I was really angry with the woman who left the floor wet. A woman whom I’m reluctant to call my SIL. A woman who is downright wicked, who deliberately leaves the floor wet everytime she mops, in the hope that an accident would happen.
I don’t want to discuss why she’s allowed to stay with my mum despite her ill intentions. The only thing I will say is my side of the family is dysfunctional and my mum is really unfortunate.
This is why I’m really thankful that I don’t have to live with my in-laws now. Not that I’m going to be this wicked, but I can imagine how miserable life can get if conflicts ever escalate to an ugly state.
I’m sorry to hear about our “SIL”. Seriously, i donch know how ppl can do that to older folks.
MB: There are a lot of “funny” pple in this world and some pple will do anything for money.

i would be fuming mad, too, if that happened to me.that was really irresponsible of her to leave the floor wet especially around older people. the least she could have done is caution people of the danger.
Belle: It’s deliberate and the floor is always left very very dripping wet. It won’t dry up for at least 20 minutes.

Omgosh, that is downright evil! I hope Karma hits her hard when she gets old.
MK: Some pple don’t believe in Karma. She’s probably one of those…

She does that on purpose?? Oh dear, what a horrible woman!
moby: Yes, on purpose. And the worst is, the more you tell her not to, the more she does it to provoke!

Oh my. What a cruel lady. Does your mom know of her antics?
Irene: Yes, she is.
