today we went to mom's work place for dinner.
her colleagues asked about genuine.
and mom told them that she's with my aunt.
one of her colleagues was rather taken aback.
she said: "your youngest daughter is so small. she need your attention. you should have let them take your eldest girl instead."
and i pondered, if i were at aunt's place, what would happen to me?
while i'm certain that nothing big will happen to me, what about the mental stress?
how will they stress me out?
mom then continued to chat with her friends and from their conversation, i could tell that mom wanted to take genuine back around 3 years later.
would it even be possible?
aunt might just use the excuse that we've just used them and we're bringing genuine back after they've "brought her up".
another thing is, would genuine want to come back at all?
over at my aunt's house, there's a swimming pool downstairs, a maid, her room, air conditioner from the room to the living room, bath tub in the toilet and cousins to play with.
and over at our house, it's smaller than my aunt's house, no swimming pool nearby, no maid to tend to her, no air conditioner, no bathtub and nobody to play with.
moreover, genuine's already quite a spoilt girl.
i reckon she'll really be a spoilt girl if she spends any more time over there.
what's with those riches, materialism, branded clothes, sports car, condominium, glittering rings and necklaces... she can get anything that she want over there. any toy she likes, any sweet she fancies...
but over here, sorry m'am, you only get toys during your birthday and during christmas, and chocolates are only once per week if you're well-behaved.
it's such a startling contrast that i can't help but wonder if genuine would be willing to come back after 3 years.
after 3 years, she'll be around primary 3, and she'll be in a famous school called Tao Nan Primary school where competition is stiff and kids over there are chauffeured to and fro.
why would she want to be back?
