Asking

I do not understand people who ask: "Do you need this?", gets a firm: "No thank you." but still brings those things anyway.

This is the same person who, once upon a time, scolded us for bringing "things we didn't want" (termed dearly as "useless things" by her), to store at her place, insisting she didn't hv room when *drum rolls* 90% of what were in the bag were WHAT SHE WANTED, and the remaining, our ONE wedding album, an album of old Singapore notes and Mr Liow's sword from OCS. Oh, useless stuff huh?

What I'd term "useless" are things like small cushions one dime a dozen, tonnes more of forks and spoons when we have tonnes of our own, bowls and plates and more containers. No, we definitely do NOT need these stuff and I did say so. What are they, useless things, doing at my place?

And its not easy to be nice to someone who once was so selfish during that period when we needed help most. We had no choice when we had to leave then, but she didn't have to do what she chose to do. She chose to put herself through this inconvenience but she gets something out of it. Good for her...

I will not dump those useless things though, no matter how useless they are. Because, at the end of 2 years, we got OUR "useless things" back. So, I'll keep them, useless things well and return them, hopefully 2 years later.

Family is not calculative. But to survive in one that is, one just has to learn, and adapt.
