垃圾是不能丢在车上的
While in Tasmania, we are inspecting the rental car before returning to Hertz, and we found rubbish here and there, in the seat pockets (see thru, so she must've seen it) and tissues at the side of door.
I felt that as an adult, this behavior is less than acceptable, so I walked up and told her that "垃圾是不能丢在车上的". To my shock and later utter disappointment, she took issue with it and gave a lame excuse agitatedly that she was getting the kids into the airport. Come on, we don't have to wait til we are alighting to clear rubbish right? (It's also ironic it’s only that time that she needs to look after the kids. Every other morning, she just wakes up in time to get herself ready, have her breakfast and leave the kids to us.) We spent a good half h on the ride. Was trying to explain this to her that we don have to wait til the last min, and cited the sunblock incident for example (she cannot apply sunblock while Levon is sleeping and has to wait till he woke up when we are alighting and start applying then. We waited at the back seat while holding in pee after hours ride when she is doing so cos we cannot get out and she don feel anything. This is of cos not the first time. It happened last time in Korea and ah-yi complained to me. really paiseh) and then she attacked me saying she is displeased with me as well. So I told her "tell me about it", but she didn't list any examples. want say, say lah 🤦🏻
To top things off, she actually wanted to confront me when she forgot to check in the kids’ body lotion, simply cos she asked if we should apply the lotion when the kids are eating in the car and I said later, go to airport first. First she forgot to clear rubbish, and she forgot to apply lotion and she forgot to check in the lotion and all of a sudden, it became my fault that she did not check in and she was damn agitated and wanted to confront me. Bro stopped her and she appeared so disgruntled. #wtf
Anyway, I was shocked that a simple reminder was escalated to being shouted at in the airport (usually, people will be apologetic abt having to be reminded to clear their own rubbish and not doing it in the first place) and utter disappointed in her character, that she don't feel bad that someone has to clear after her, someone has to wait for her, that as an adult, she doesn't have a sense of responsibility at all. The same applies for the sad bottle of body lotion.
With this, I rest my case. She is simply selfish and not worth any more of my efforts. Frankly, I never have to help her; she never see herself as part of the family anyway. The only reason why we helped is because we knew that whatever we don't do will be passed to Lewis; she still doesn't do them. #sigh
I was rarely so disappointed in someone.
