The flaws of a Leopard
Some people never change... so what can be done?
It really does get on one's nerves whenever the same old issue crops up. And the best part, it will sting alot more whenever the woman of the family switches on her loudspeakers to make a point heard.
And people used to tell me I am so different from my mother sometimes and boy, I sure am glad that I am. It would be hell to have a mini version of my mum.
The thing is that yesterday, on the 25th September, the whole issue blows up namely because dad forget to inform her that the (stupid him) had agreed to 'sign' another report for his sister.
Don't mention the fact that mum would blow up. If it were me, I would have done the same for these reasons:

Don't mention the fact that mum would blow up. If it were me, I would have done the same for these reasons:
- Why the hell must my dad do 'everything' his family wants him to?
- Is he an idiot?
- Like mum says, he is an idiot for 'signing his life away'. The document in question is an audit report.
- An audit report will be sent to the government body so...
- Has he not learnt from the last issue which, nearly resulted in a court case?!
Let's go into the details, shall we?
While I appreciate a 'filial' person like my dad, seriously, an over dosage of it disgusts me. Don't get me wrong, I am already considered to be a 'filial' girl for my generation (Look, we have young adults getting into shit) but honestly, sacrificing for a family (Ok, I'll make it clear. Half-family) to such an extent? I am not that noble.
That's why I have to keep reminding myself not to seek out a partner who is so 'fillial' or I will end up suffering the same fate as my mum.
While that is a decent value to be instilled, I would still prefer not to be completely overwhelmed by it. Look, growing up and watching the whole fight between my dad and mum always revolving around the 'in-laws' honestly speaking, it scares a part of me and irks another part of me.
The next point regards the whole point of the argument, the audit report. Perhaps only those who mastered accounting or at least learn it would know the importance and significance of this document.
Honestly, I heard of it while I was taking accounting back in Secondary school but I never really knew what it was for or even to whom it was for.
The main point here is that just because it's a 'family' member who asks you to sign something like that, do you eagerly agree to sign it, disregarding what had transpired before this issue and the fact that the wife has already voiced her stand; and that all this time, keep saying that 'she's a family member'?
The thing is, yep, that is what dad did.(If you agree with my dad, well screw you!) God, guys and their stupid ego and traditional values.
Why? Then next time she comes to you with a debt, would you sign and pay up? God, I bet 80% you would sign again. Don't you get that rule on 'If you want to sign your life away it's fine but leave the rest of the family out of it'.
Think about it, if his step sister plans to fool the government (in which case,would be stupid and a criminal act), who gets the worst hit again? My cuckoo dad don't get it because 家人不会害自己的人. I tell you all now that his mantra is BULLSHIT. I will correct it as (没钱的)家人不会害自己的人. This is the way of life and he fails to understand this...
Lastly, yes. It relates back to an 'ancient' case which caused my parents undue stress until the negiotioans were all cleared and the out of court settlemet was reached.
The gist of the whole case was not even my family's problems to begin with. It was his 'richer' stepsister's issue and he got dragged in because he 'signed' his name in as the 'Director'.
See, his rich stepsister sold off her logistics company and slyly built another against the sales agreement. Well, it was discovered and the buyers were, needless to say, unhappy about the breach of contract and poaching of clients.
Why the hell was this pain even necessary? Oh, it's because it is his precious stepsister and the largest cuckoo I know helps her.
Why don't they ever learn? Not just my dad, his precious stepsister never learns and comes to him to sign documents again so something's up with that again. What the Fuck? You think dad's some disposable brother and you come only when it relates to your company?
Right now, I feel damn disgusted with her and her family. Always landing themselves in trouble and then dragging down my family.
Frankly, when I was ignorant and young, I respected them because well, they are my seniors. But after growing up and realizing that hell, they are step siblings and then an incident about the semi detached house that we were in agreement to live together back then, respect became disgust and loathe for their actions.
I admit that they do show affection towards me when I was young but honestly, now, I am feeling more disgust because of the needless quarrels I have to hear because of their issue.
Being Richer then us does not freaking mean you can use us as you please. Being your step brother does not mean my dad has to oblige all your requests when you approach him. Being my half-aunt does not mean you indirectly jab at my brother and family members by comparing your daughter to him. (She had once told me that she would prefer not to 'push' her daughter after seeing what happened to my brother. Hello, you think my mum wanted that? Did you not indirectly push him to be normal too? Just because your daughter's a prissy, accent talking ballerina who's also, a fan of K-pop...)
So I realized now that even full blooded siblings may not help you in a time of crisis much less a step sibling.
Hmph. Call me self-centered and selfish for saying that I cannot condone a guy like my dad and I would rather not help them if I can.
After all the things that have been said and done, a leopard truly doesn't change its spots, it only enhances it's beauty (flaws).
That is why I will make my stand. NEVER CALL ME RICH if it means that I will turn out like them then I rather be poor all my life.
