Plans for short trip

I am planning for a trip with my mum and one with Mcdull.

Maybe taking my mum to a cruise than to another country is a better choice as she cannot walk for too long. Also, the view of the sea will serve as a break from her daily house chores.

My younger brother is dating a girl who is visiting our house almost everyday. Both my mum and i myself are very disturbed by her presence as she is behaving like a log that would not talk to any one except my younger brother. And instead of helping my mum she adds to my mum's workload by eating everyday at our place and dropping lots of hair on our floor. We are very new to living with girls as mummy is the only woman living in our family for the past 40 years , and she does not drop so many strands of hair on the floor. The behaviour of this girl is below average too as she is not socialising with us.

I really pity my mum as both of her daughter in laws (future daughter in law for my younger brother) is not close to her. Mdm Mcbing (Mcdull's mum )also said the same thing to me recently. After the marriage of their sons, they both lost the sons and did not get any daughter in return. But for the daughter in law's side , her mother did not lose the daughter and gain another son. Mum is telling me that she wants to live alone or just with me. I am upset about that as she had worked hard to bring up the boys and they just run into the lap of the other woman and the woman's family without considering the feeling of their ageing mother. The situation was reverse for the older generation of the Chinese society; my mother was bullied by her mother in law, but she now have to serve her daughter in laws although she is already in her 70s.

What is wrong with the people nowadays? I hope they will understand how the husband's mother must have felt when their own son gets married next time. It is Karma.
